My favorite part is when the wolf is running downtown London going crazy
My most intresting area is when the Wolf was surrender b4 the gurl came talking to him (Wolf) to calm down b4 they shot him (Wolf)the gurl cried i felt it so much .
As far as werewolf movies go, this is by far the alltime best. The transformation is absolutely amazing and genuinely terrifying. You can almost feel the pain that he is going through. For it's time it is definitely out there with any movie. Movie making at its best. John Landis's best work by far.
