One of the funniest movies ever made.

What makes the 1977 comedy Slap Shot so good is the weird, violent trio of hockey players Jeff, Steve and Jack Hanson. The Hansons were inspired by Carlsons, an infamous and very real trio of brawlin' hockey brothers -- and in fact, Jeff and Steve Hanson were actually portrayed by Jeff and Steve Carlson, who took a season off to make the movie. The third Carlson brother, Jack, would have been in the movie too, but he was called up to play for the Edmonton Oilers, so the Carlsons' teammate Dave Hanson (confusing, innit?) filled in.
