Just watched this film last night for the first time in about 5 years and forgot how great it is. It really is a fantastic film and for anyone who hasn't seen it I highly recommend you do.
It is probably my favourite film of the last 30 years, almost every scene is a classic, particularly the transformation and the part in the train station. It also has Rik Mayall in it:). Any other Werewolf Of London fans.

the 2 bumbling inept policemen - kidney dishes scene - are a very nice tough
yea me I purchased the dvd as couple months back
Glad to see that, it's a great film.
John Landis' greatest and the definitive comedy-horror film.
Absoloutely brilliant film, yes probably the best comedy-horror, although Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein would have to be a close second for me.
Also notable for one of the best on-screen transformations ever...and done in broad daylight, which was unusual for the time...they were usually shot in dark, smoky backlit rooms (see the transformation from The Howling from the same year...clearly a lifeless puppet with rubber bladders being pumped full of air)
I actually worked in the cinema that was featured in the end (Eros Picadilly), though the actual cinema was only seen in a long shot, the foyer and inside of the cinema was recreated on a set.
Still scares the shit out me and manages to make me laugh, especially the porno film.
special mention to Naughty Nina - who was Naughty Nina anyway? :p
Classic scenes also that have been mentioned.
Think I'll go and watch it again now!
Don't blame you.
Am I right in remembering that BAFTA created a new category that year especially for Rick Baker? Deservedly so - the make-up/transformation effect was brilliant.
Yes I believe they did create it for this film. He definately deserved to win.
I agree, love it.
Premieres were a bit different in those days. I remember when we left the cinema I saw Jenny Agutter walking across Leicester Square with her mum.
Naughty Nina Carter - Page 3 girl and former wife of Rick Wakeman, keyboard player out of Yes and grumpy old man who used to work in Dictionary Corner on Countdown.
Don't know about BAFTA but the Oscars created the best make-up award that year because of this film
Ah thanks, I couldn't remember whether it was BAFTA or the Oscars, I knew it was one or the other!
:D Yeah me and my brother used to say that when we played.
A naked American man stole my balloons!
What???
"Say knock knock"
"knock knock"
