The Hollywood Knights is a 1980 film written and directed by Floyd Mutrux and stars Robert Wuhl as Newbomb Turk, and also features Tony Danza, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Stuart Pankin. Set during Halloween 1965 before the full onset of the Vietnam War, this film centers around the activities of a car club (aptly named 'The Hollywood Knights') that regularly menaces Beverly Hills socialites, the local high school, and two bumbling police officers who try to thwart the car club pranksters.
This comedy's cast also includes a young Fran Drescher who is involved in a scene with Robert Wuhl involving premature ejaculation.
