Reggie Dunlop Slapshot costume

[nerftheherder]

So does anyone know of some good resources for vintage 70's clothing? A friend has been joking about a Reggie Dunlop Costume for some time. i figure some parts will be easy to find, but the pants and jacket are the hard part.
This will be for the "regular clothes" Dunlop.

-Powder blue turtleneck sweater.
-Leather or pleather dark brown 3/4 length jacket w/fur collar.
-plaid pants with bell bottoms
-elevator faux wood high heeled/platform mens shoes.

Any good interent resource would be great or maybe some of you have these very items in your closet!

Reg Dunlop: "Hey, that's nice Dickie, what you wrote about us."
Dickie Dunlop: "Well, I was just tryin' to capture the spirit of the thing, Reg."

Outstanding. Totally friggin' outstanding. Not only are you doing Reggie Dunlop, you're doing Mack-Daddy butterscotch leather and sheeps wool jacket /huge turtleneck/bellbottoms Reg Dunlop!

I know people say this all the time, but I will certainly be following the progress of this thread!

"THEY BROUGHT THEIR ----ING TOYS WITH THEM!!!"

Oh man! I can't wait to see player/coach Reggie Dunlop brough back to life!!!! Of course, only 1 in 200 people will have any clue who you are supposed to be dressed as!!!!!

You'd need to have your friends dress up as the Hansons and go along with you.

"And none of that stinkin' rut beer!"

Awesome! Love this flick and can't wait to see Reggie resurected:thumbsup

Ned Braden: "Are you guys brothers?"

Nice Hanson borther jersey site:

Reggie Dunlop: G*D lard-ass Barkley Donaldson, I’m tellin’ you he jumped us!
Steve Hanson: [nodding head] Mm huh.
Reggie Dunlop: Gloves off, stick down, no warning, he challenged the Chiefs!
Steve Hanson: Called us names!
Reggie Dunlop: Called us names! But Dave was there.
Steve Hanson: Dave’s a killer!
Johnny Upton: Dave’s a mess.
Reggie Dunlop: But Dave’s out. Who’s gonna take his place?
Ned Braden: Is the answer *****?

That movie has some of the best lines! Who can forget this one?:

Jim Carr: Oh this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country’s refusal to accept him, well, I guess that’s more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.

One of my favorite parts:

Right after Reg puts a "contract" out on "Dr. Hook" McCracken on the radio, Reg runs into the opposing team coming into the arena.

McCracken: "DUNLOP! You suck d**k!"
Dunlop (smiling and shrugging): "All I can get!" (...And walks away leaving McCracken looking befuddled)

LOVE this movie!!!

Along with me it's one of my Dad's favourite films- he used to play goalie for an amateur team in the 70s so it was close to home for him. :thumbsup

The house in the woods that Paul Newman went to looking for Michael Ontkean's character was my Mom's place outside of Johnstown, PA.
They paid us $200 for the use of the place for the day and I was allowed to hang around and watch them film.

I didn't talk to Paul Newman much because he was busy memorizing his lines, but I remember that he had astoundingly blue eyes and very short fingers (when we shook hands.)

I chatted with Michael Ontkean for a while and all the technical people.
I remember the sound guy walking around with a recorder going, "you've got great bird noises here!"

The Hansons talk about the trick that was played on Director George Roy Hill in the special features of the DVD, and they weren't even there that day. The crew faked it to seem that Paul in the 1970 GTO lost his brakes and crashed into our garage. They rolled one of my HR78 Baja Bug tires down the driveway, banged some stuff together and threw some leaves.
Doesn't sound like much, but it was convincing in the moment.
Director very pissed, all others in stitches.

Other thing of note; the shot where Paul Newman comes up our street and turns into the driveway doesn't look like much on film.
In real life the crew and camera were in a half circle leading into the driveway, me with them.
They called PN on the walkie talkie to come on up.
He got on the Goat pretty good and our road was dirt and stone over disintegrated macadam.
I was standing there thinking, "He's not gonna make that turn!"
figuring we'd all be wiped out.
I looked around and no one was moving, so I stayed too.
He just swung up the drive, no problem, one take.
I was excited to see that on film, but like I said, it just looks like no big deal on film.

All in all a great day.
Two other bonuses,
The location scouts asked us to not cut the grass,
which got me out of that chore for the weeks leading up to the day the shot the scene.
My mom split the two hundred bucks with me for "house sitting", a princely sum in the seventies.

Sorry to threadjack like this, but you knew that would happen anytime you bring up Slapshot on the web, but anyway, the thing I find most fascinating is that the script for Slapshot, one of the most quintessential quotable "guy" movies, was written by a woman!

All that foul, foul language and degenerate behavior was written by screenwriter Nancy O'Dowd, sister of Ned O'Dowd (real life minor leaguer from the Johnstown Jets, technical adviser to the film and he actually played Ogie Ogilthorpe. She spent 3 months with the team, even on the road, and captured so many things that went into the film practically verbatim. That's why the film resonates so much and is revered by real hockey players because it feels so damn real.

I just love that a woman wrote the scene "A lesbian! A lesbian! Suzanne s---" .... well, this is a family site, so I'll just stop right there.

ha ha ha Duck. I've been biting my tongue, holding off quoting that line ever since the Reggie costume was first mentioned!!!!!

 

[nerftheherder]

Wow, really glad to see some enthusiasum!!! I thought this thred was going to get no steam and fizzle out...

I figure I may have to go custom on the pants, but the sweater and jacket have to be somewhere! Anyone stumbles accross anything it would be a huge help!

Being a hockey player and sports fan in general, this movie is the best of the best! I can watch it all the time and never get sick of it!!!

I have a side hobby of collecting hockey movie jerseys (with the exception of the mighty ducks.....don't get me started...). Lots of hockey in hollywood!

Thanks for the support, i will keep you all posted!

Oh and i know only 2 out of 100 will get it, but those 2 make it worth it! haha

You should post a screen capture to show exactly what look you are going for.

Here's the Reggie Dunlop outfit I was going to wear last year but didn't go out (was sick). Starting to catch the cold or flu that is going around but planning on wearing this as long as this bug doesn't hit me really hard.

Have tickets for a shag this Saturday (probably not what you are thinking - it's a regional thing - name I think is a combo of shower & stag. Basically a booze up to benefit the couple getting married; you can also buy tickets for draws for items that the couple or couple's friends got companies to donate. This one is a Halloween themed one with costumes)

Webshots is not letting me use anything but the smallest size for a pic, so I'll try a full size image and hope it works and isn't too big.

 

[greyraven8]

Let's try again - with the small pic

double post - please erase

Still have my damn cold/flu? - whatever it is. Just put on the costume; need to straighten out the shirt and pants still. Used grey temporary hair colour spray - turned out more silver than grey; next time I use this costume I might try baby powder with gel as some places on the internet suggested. Also am wearing an old gold coloured casio with the analog and digital time. That's my cat Cream in the bottom corner of the photo.
