Über diesen Film

The Dr. will see you now. Basketball's Dr. J Julius Erving operates on the competition in this hoop-it-up disco-era fantasy about a team on a winning streak when it signs up motley players born under the zodiac's fish sign of Pisces. With the Dr. in the house, trademark cloud-walking, net-shredding slam dunks are plentiful. More hoops excitement follows as the Harlem Globetrotters' Meadowlark Lemon handles the rock as if he had more arms than an octopus and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shows his winning style as well. Off the court, Flip Wilson is a beleaguered coach and Jonathan Winters plays the dual roles of an ill-natured mogul and a sweet-natured nitwit. The world isn't round in The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. It's roundball. Fish fever hook it!

I took my kids and wife to see this movie when it first showed in 1979. We have loved this movie for all these years because it is a good clean family movie that will make you laugh, cheer, cry, and pull for the underdogs. Dr. J is one of the classiest players to have played the game

Rest in peace, brother. You were truly one of the best Globetrotters back in the 70's. That's why I happen to love this movie very much.

A great movie that makes me feel like a kid again!
