Plot
Bobby Barbato (Michael Keaton) is a pro athlete in ice hockey. As always, he expects cheering crowds and beautiful women coming after him. But one day, a gang of youths begin to mug him but he manages to fend them off and then catches the youngest member of the gang, Louis DeLeon (Ajay Naidu). He then gives Louis a ride home and meets his mother, an Italian Immigrant named Denise (María Conchita Alonso).

Production
The film was wrapped in late 1984 and intended for a 1985 release but then shelved, due to a change of studio representation–from Universal to Tri-Star–as well as extensive rescoring and reassembling of promotional ads during post-production.[1] It was then released in late 1986.
