I love this movie, great 80s movie. There are some other good 80s wrestling movies too. I've seen it many times, and the last time was on a Saturday morning on the WB station. Seeing it on a saturday morning brought back some good memories of long gone Saturday morning cartoons. Check this one out.
shareYou're right,,,,this is a very good 80's movie. It's a good movie for wrestling fans. It's on right now at 530am. And it reminds me to rent ...what's the name?....I've seen it once...where the guys are port-a-can cleaners?....and it has a lot of big name wrestlers?....I'll think of it later.
sharei think you are thinkin of ready to rumble, if you havent figured it out yet.
Mitchell. Smokey is way more intense in person!
I WILL BUST YOU!!!
SAY CAR RAMROD
Plus, it features a midget repeatedly calling Dirk Benedict a *beep*
shareI caught this little gem recently in the middle of the night on one of the movie channels and was instantly mesmerized.
For other wrestling related movies (and strokes of genius) you might check out No Holds Barred and They Live.
There's another good wrestling movie that has Fonzie from Happy Days on it. It was pretty good too. My Breakfast with Blassie with Andy Kaufman is good too.
shareThe movie with Henry Winkler (Fonzie) is called The One and Only, and yes it is good one. I saw it years ago when Comedy Central ran it.
shareComedy Central use to be a lot better it seems like and now all they want to show is the stand up comedians. I liked it better when they would show movies. I know that they still do, but not as much as they did 14 or 15 years ago.

Never knew that Fonzie did a wrestling movie. I know that Andy Kaufman loved wrestling and remember some of his crazy antics that he would pull back in the day.

This is a little gem that is rarely shown anymore on TV because all of these networks just want to show crime and drama shows in marathon form! Man I wished that people would snap out of wanting to watch shows like that and bring back programming like what USA Network use to show and USA UP ALL NIGHT! I think late at night it would be better to watch in my opinion instead of all of the paid programming that they show anymore now.

I always loved seeing that midget actor because he was in a lot of shows and movies during the 70's and 80's. LOL That was funny to watch all right!

Hulk Hogan made some great wrestling films to watch and I remember watching them back 20 years ago. No Holds Barred was a popular movie that was shown on a lot of networks and you do not see that at all now.

You also have to remember that Dirk Benedict was going also off of the A-TEAM as well because in 1986 The A-TEAM was still on NBC being shown. There are some wrestlers other than Piper because I started to get into watching the WWF in 1986. A lot of the wrestler in this movie were with the WWF back then. I remember watching them. They do not make movies like this anymore now.

Plus, you have the wrestling movies that Hulk Hogan made which use to be aired on USA Network back in the day and then when Hulk Hogan crossed over into WCW you would see them air it on TBS and TNT. After I would have to say USA Network was bought out by Barry Diller it forever changed the programming of USA Network because he eventually sold the network to NBC which stopped airing USA UP ALL NIGHT. I would watch Body Slam on USA Network and USA UP ALL NIGHT. It is a absolute classic!

Great 80's flick - but the scene will Charles Nelson should have been edited or cut. It was even too harsh for the young audience wrestling attracted and not trying ti be a prude but it's just an off, nasty scene. Love this flick though - I remember Tanya Roberts coming out from the pool area as the sexiest thing Id ever see at that point in my young life lol
You Suck...now deal with it.
I haven't seen this in probably 20 years.
shareI am curious to know what your IQ is!
