This is one of them classics! (I haven't seen it before although some of it was familiar... huh.)
David and Jack are in the English countryside and encounter one of the scariest things of all... an unfriendly English pub! And a werewolf, but those things happen. David wakes up, Jack (who is dead) tells him he is a werewolf. David tells everyone he is a werewolf. And yet... no-one believes him! What is the world coming to? It takes two nights for people to finally accept there is a problem (and hey, some of those deaths on the second night is because of bad English driving, you can't blame that all on David!), and then twas beauty (and several guns) that killed the beast.
At one hour, we finally get the moment we all came for, the transformation... and it's worth the hype. That looks extremely well done, and very painful (as one would expect). I don't know how much of that was due to Frank Oz, but clearly there was talent involved in (and we even get a Muppet Show cameo... to the extent of they get credits!). [It was Rick Baker, of course.]
Fine performances all around. Some names I recognise now, and clearly the actors are having a lot of fun. (Oh, that is Rik Mayall!)
Definitely an enjoyable treat.
