I got drowsy real fast over this snoozy little wrestling drama, so I took a nap until the tape in my VCR reached the end point. If you really like pro wrestling, watch the W.C.W. instead! With the action looking bloody well tame by modern standards, BLOOD AND GUTS has seen its better days. It's also very unappealing to many who are used to staying up on Monday nights to skip homework assignments. GRUNT: THE WRESTLING MOVIE is what I can recommend, although still not as exciting. Here's further proof that any movie with wrestling or monster trucks in it (i.e. ROLLING VENGEANCE) isn't worth the price of admission. Don't guess....it's B-O-R-I-N-G!

OK, I agree the film was not great, but I only own a copy because I love actor William Smith! He starred in it and as long as I could fast forward past the rest of it to see him I could have cared a less. I only wanted to see Bill. Former bodybuilder, he looked awesome in that role and I still think he's awesome today at 73. While the film was not horrible it was a typical 70's film. At least one of which Bill was not a villain. I really enjoyed him in this part.
A friend recently transferred it to DVD for me, Hopefully one day it will be released on DVD.
