Description

JAMES SPADER AND ROBERT DOWNEY JR. STAR IN THE ULTIMATE ‘80S HIGH SCHOOL SHOWDOWN! Morgan Hiller (James Spader), recently transplanted from an East Coast prep school where he was a known troublemaker, hopes to make a fresh start at his new school in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he gets off on the wrong foot when he breaks up an attempted mugging by Nick Hauser (Paul Mones) and his gang, the Tuffs. Now, the Tuffs are after Morgan and it doesn't help that Nick's girlfriend Frankie (Kim Richards) is interested in the handsome newcomer. Welcome to the mean streets of TUFF TURF!

  • Hidden 1980’s gem

    This is one of the few nitty gritty hidden gems of the 1980’s that represent a totally different light on Spader and Downey Jr before they made it big! Story wise doesn’t make sense but it doesn’t have to, it’s just mindless and senseless fun!

    I had rented this at 7-11 back in the 80s when 7-11 used to rent videos. It was entertaining to say the least and it is every bit a representation of the 80s and was a cheesy movie at the same time. I never liked James Spader. In the 80s his attitude bothered me starting with Pretty in Pink and then this one. It's hard to believe that this is the same man as seen in the last season of the Office. iTunes says this is a comedy. It is not a comedy. Maybe there should be a genre called 80s cheese.
  • Great fun!

    LOVED this movie. James spader was amazing and it is a highly entertaining movie and just plain fun :D it's a story pretty much every 80's movie goes by only they included an incredibly young James spader and Robert downy jr. If that's not reason to watch it I don't know what is. I find myself cracking up at random points in the movie just because of the script. This is definitely a fun movie to rent in a Saturday night with your friends and some Ben and Jerry's
