Teen Wolf is a 1985 American fantasy comedy film released by Atlantic Releasing Corporation starring Michael J. Fox as Scott Howard, a high school student who discovers that his family has an unusual pedigree when he finds himself transforming into a werewolf. The film was directed by Rod Daniel based on a script co-written by Joseph Loeb III, Matthew Weisman and Tim Hayes.
The film was followed by a sequel in 1987 entitled Teen Wolf Too, an animated TV series which ran on CBS from 1986 to 1987, and a current live-action TV series which premiered on MTV in June 2011.
High school student Scott Howard is seventeen years old, sick of being average and wishing he were special. His father runs a local hardware store. Scott plays basketball for his high school's team, the Beavers, with a not-so-good win-loss record. The girl of his dreams, Pamela Wells, is dating Mick, a jerk from an opposing high school team, the Dragons. After another of the team's losses, Scott begins to notice strange changes to his body. While at a party, Scott keeps undergoing changes and eventually he returns home, locks himself in the bathroom, and undergoes a complete change and becomes a werewolf, while his father demands that he open the door. He tries to refuse, only to finally give in and obey, to find his father has also transformed into a werewolf.
Meet Scott Howard. He is a struggling high school student with problems. He is on a lackluster basketball team with a lame duck coach, he is having problems getting noticed by the prettiest girl in his school, Pamela Wells (who already has a boy friend who wants to ruin Scott's life named Mick Mcallister). But in the middle of it all, he feels an effects of a dog whistle and he itches everywhere and even discovers that his nails are longer and sharp. When he came home from a party, he discovers his new problem. He is a half human-wolf hybrid. He tries to keep this a secret, but during a basketball game the secret comes out and it helped Scott to turn his life around, the basketball team starts to become a contender for the state championships. He became very popular, and he was discovered by Pamela, and begin to go out with each other (despite that Pamela is still going out with Mick). But Scott's father warns him about turning into the wolf out of anger. So, Scott must watch his anger as he can still win Pamela's heart and the High School Basketball State Championship game.

Coach Finstock: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
Coach Finstock: What is it, gambling? Drugs? You know I'd really like to help you but I'm kind of tapped out this month. The IRS is coming down on me like it's some personal vendetta against Bobby Finstock.
Harold Howard: I was hoping it would pass you by.::Scott Howard: Well, Dad it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face.
Harold Howard: [upon seeing each other as werewolves] An explanation is probably long overdue.::Scott Howard: An explanation? Jesus Christ, dad! An explanation? Look at me! Look at you.::Harold Howard: It's not as bad as it looks.::Scott Howard: Wait a minute, wait a minute, dad. You mean you knew about this? You knew about this and you didn't tell me?::Harold Howard: I was hoping I wouldn't have to. Sometimes it skips a generation. I was hoping it would pass you by.::Scott Howard: Well, Dad it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face. What the hell am I gonna do?::Harold Howard: [Scott slams his bedroom door behind him] Scott, we really need to talk about this.::Scott Howard: Forget it, dad. I don't want to talk. Go away.
Vice Principal Thorne: Awful far from your side of the building aren't you, Howard?::Scott Howard: No. I mean ye-yes, sir but the halls were wet.::Vice Principal Thorne: Let me see your hands.::Scott Howard: [nervously] Sir?::Vice Principal Thorne: Let me see your hands.::[Scott shows Thorne his hands, he sighs]::Vice Principal Thorne: You wouldn't happen to have a marker on you, would you?
Coach Finstock: Look Scotty, I know what you're going through. Couple years back, a kid came to me much the same way you're coming to me now, saying the same thing that you're saying. He wanted to drop off the team. His mother was a widow, all crippled up. She was scrubbing floors. She had this pin in her hip. So he wanted to drop basketball and get a job. Now these were poor people, these were hungry people with real problems. Understand what I'm saying?::Scott Howard: What happened to the kid?::Coach Finstock: I don't know. He quit. He was a third stringer, I didn't need him.
Stiles: Never say die.
Scott Howard: Give me a keg of beer... and these.
Scott Howard: Hi. I'd like a keg of beer please?::Old man clerk: [looking at a newspaper] You don't say.::Scott Howard: Yeah. How much is that?::Old man clerk: You little bastards just don't give up, do you? Listen, no I.D. no goddamn beer. Can't you get that through your thick skull?::Scott Howard: [his eyes turn red and his voice changes] Give me, a keg, of beer.::[the clerk steps back in fear and go gets a keg, then Scott turns back to normal holding a thing of licorice]::Scott Howard: And these.
Harold Howard: Listen son. You're going to be able to do a lot of things the other guys aren't.::Scott Howard: Oh yeah, like chase cars, and bite the mailman?

What Would Willie Do
I was lost in trouble and strife, I heard a voice and it changed my life
And now it's a brand new day, and I ain't afraid to say
You're not alone when you're down and out
And I think you know who I'm talking about
When I don't know how I'll get through
I ask myself what would Willie do
What would Willie do, well he'd travel so far with nothing but a song and his old guitar
And a tour bus and some semi-trucks, thirty crew men and a little bit of luck
Well he loves all the people, the ugly and the randy
If you don't believe me take a look at the family
And they'll tell you that it's true
When skies are gray what would Willie do
Well long ago he came unto us, his words were simple but they went right through us
And the whole world sang along, but then they didn't want to hear his songs
He was gone and we thought we'd lost him
But he grew his hair and he moved to Austin
And all of the people smiled, they came to hear him sing from miles
Like a miracle all those rednecks and hippies
From New York City down to Mississippi
Stood together and raised a brew
When it's all gone wrong what would Willie do
You know sometimes I wonder when I ain't gettin' nowhere
What would old Willie do when it all gets too much to bear
And I can see him on his lonely old tour bus
And he's got his problems just like any of us
Well he'd just take a deep breath and then he'd let it all go
And he'd take another deep breath and let it all go
And he'd take another deep breath... and he'd hold it
Ah and I bet he'd feel hungry in a way that seems strange
Yeah hungry for all the things that he just can't change
Like the time he passed out in is own bedroom
And his wife sewed him up in the sheets and beat him with a broom and he forgave her
And you think that's rough, well then the IRS came and they took away all of his stuff
They took his golf course and his recording studio, and he just went out and did another show
So when it's all coming down on you
You better ask yourself what would Willie do
What would Willie do, well he'd take a little time
And talk to old rooser as he'd drive on down the line
And there's millions down that road, and with a word he's gonna lighten their load
He loves all the people no matter their races
Hell he even had a hit country song with Julio Iglesias
And that ain't easy to do, so when it's all too much, what would Willie
When the game gets tough what would Willie
