The Lords of Flatbush

Brooklyn, 1958. Clad in blue jeans, black leather jackets and bad attitudes, Stanley, Butchey, Chico and Wimpy are the Lords of Flatbush. Despite their tough appearance these boys just want to have fun, but increasingly find reality – a.k.a. adulthood – rearing its ugly head.

The Lords of Flatbush (1974) marks Sylvester Stallone's breakthrough role, heading a strong ensemble cast including Henry Winkler (Happy Days) and Perry King (Class of 1984).
