Wildcats (NTSC)

Her dream was to coach high school football. Her nightmare was Central High.

Central High is an inner-Chicago combat zone that's sometimes called a school. It's home to the Wildcats, a brawn-before-brains football team of rowdy rappers, bruisers and losers. What's Molly McGrath doing in a place like this? Coaching football, that's what!

All-American charmer Goldie Hawn is Molly, who turns wayward ways into winning plays in this comedy of heart, family and football directed by Michael Ritchie (The Bad News Bears). Her work's cut out for her: the 'Cats are a motley crew with a perfect record - zero victories. But when the spunky new coach gets into the groove, the kids start resembling a team and go for the glory! In fact, two WildCats would later reteam in two box-office hits: Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson (White Men Can't Jump, Money Train).

Synopsis

As the daughter of a legendary grid iron star, a young woman's greatest desire is to coach a team of her own. But when the chauvinistic powers-that-be assign her to an inner-city ghetto school, the spirited female has her work cut out for her.
