#39 - "All The Right Moves" (1983) with Ron West

Before “Friday Night Lights” there was this often forgotten 80’s flick. It’s not so much a film about the sport of high school football, but the effect of football on its characters. It features solid performances from its young actors, and became an important film in the career of its lead by showcasing the tremendous star power and acting skills of a man who would become a mega-movie-star. So grab your football pads, your cleats, and expect heavy rain to hit football field as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Ron “Rifleman” West, discuss “All the Right Moves” from 1983 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast! Here are some additional behind the scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Jan De Bont was the film’s cinematographer; Jan later went onto direct the movie “Speed" in 1994. In the scene in which Ampipe's team bus is pulling into Walnut Heights for the big game, Johnstown's Vo-Tech School in Richland Township, was used as the Walnut Heights School, which is actually about five miles away from where the game was played (the Point Stadium in downtown Johnstown).
