Summary: Remember The Alamo!
Comment: Hadn't seen this movie in a few years (quite a few) and caught it on AMC just the other night during their Fear Fest '08. I taped it and have been watching it with glee every day too.

David and Jack are attacked early in the movie by a Werewolf, David's life is spared by the patrons of the Slaughtered Lamb pub, but now he has inherited the bloodline of the beast, and is the last one apparently and needs to die in order for all the people he will kill (plus Jack) to cross over to the other side, as they currently walk the earth in limbo.
Jack wants him to commit suicide, but David seems to think he's going crazy, hallucinating, basically losing his mind.

As many have stated, the tranformation scenes...especially the first time David turns are really good, there is some blood and gore, but it's not anything like in today's movies. Even seeing Jacks's tore up face in the first scene of him as the undead is not too bad, and he's more concerned about his would be girlfriend going off to sleep with some other guy right after his funeral "love mocks me, even in death" I believe was the line he used.

To me there are so many funny scenes in this movie. David and Jacks relationship seems to get even better when Jack becomes a member of the undead....I love his lines when trying to get David to kill himself. "Can I have a piece of your toast?" And holding up the Mickey Mouse figurine and mimicking "Hi-Ya, David!" Plus his increasing decomposition as the movie goes along. The classic porn theatre scene is priceless with all David's fresh kills sitting there decomposing trying to come with ideas on how David should off himself.

David has an insatiable appetite for people when he turns, and for his love interest the Nurse Alex whom he is frisky for throughout. While at the theatre I spoke of earlier he turns into the Werewolf again and this begins the final showdown outside the theatre that has plenty of action and special effects to finish out this classic.

Very entertaining lighthearted, 80's horror movie that has a decent story and some very memorable lines/quotes to remember.

Summary: A gory, but funny movie
Comment: An American Werewolf In London was a funny, but gory movie that I enjoyed very much, not to mention David Naughton did a lot of nude scenes in this movie, including his wiener and tushy showing David Naughton with even more nudity and even more nude scenes than anyone else in this movie, including co-star Jenny Agutter(Nurse Alex), since Jenny's tatas were the extent of all her nude scenes, especially when David Naughton(David Kessler) and Jenny Agutter(Alex) did a sexy intimacy scene in the middle of this movie playing the song "Moondance" by Van Morrison while David & Alex are doing hubba hubba after Alex takes David in after David checks out of the hospital, since David is an outsider and a drifter with no place to stay leading Alex to reel David in.

The special effects in this movie when David transforms into a werewolf for the first time are also marvelous too and so are the bonus materials showing outtakes on what the director and producers had to do to get that transformation scenes correct before they were able to do the theatrical release of "An American Werewolf In London" back in 1981.

Additionally, I would have to say that I think "An American Werewolf In London" was probably David Naughton's best film throughout his entire acting career and this movie was released only a few years after his one hit wonder song "Makin It" made the charts back in 1978.

Unfortunately, American Werewolf In London has a tragic ending to it when David as a werewolf ends up getting shot to death in an alley even after Alex(Jenny Agutter) tells David she loves him and then falls apart into tears after changing back into a human dead all bloodied up with bullet holes in him, which made it a shame that they couldn't find a cure or any other solution to David's afflicted ability to transform into a werewolf.
