In their first major movie roles, "Rocky" and "the Fonz" were Lords, a 50's gang of four greasers in Brooklyn.  There's not much of a story line - it seems more like someone's memories of their youth.  The carefree rebels just want to have fun, but serious issues appear for each of the four.  Stanley's (Sly) girlfriend wants to get married, Chico falls for a "good girl", Butchey (Winkler) gets hit by a car, and Wimpy suffers from a bad nickname.  The acting isn't terrible, but there isn't much to work with.  The dramatic scenes were drowned out by the pathetic soundtrack of faux 50's songs.  It's hard enough to understand what Stallone is saying without loud be-bop in the "background".  The movie isn't without it's touching scenes, though - One that sticks out has Sly talking to pigeons and then thinking he is flying over Tokyo.  There won't be a dry eye in the house after that emotional scene.
