Grunt! The Wrestling Movie

This film is shot as a pseudo-documentary about a wrestler who disappears after killing an opponent. If you are a big fan of pro wrestling, then I think you will get a kick out of this film. If you are not a big fan, you still might find this amusing, but it is mostly meant for the die-hard fans. I dig B-movies, so I bought this one. I recommend it.

This movie was great. Since I am a pro wrestler, I can honestly say this is exactly how a lot of the business is run! This movie is campy & strange at times but, hey, so is pro wrestling! I highly reccommend this movie to any pro wrestling fan.

Grunt, is one of the best wrestling movie's I have watched with a fabulous performance by Robert Glaudini as the absurdly self assured (Dr. Tweed). Jeff Dial as a documentary film maker who's subject is the identity of undefeated wrestler the (Mask), played by real life wrestler Steve Strong, gives Dr. Tweed enough room to do his hilarious thing. The light hardheartedness of the film made with a number of entertaining Vignette's combined with some great old school wrestling action including legends Dirty Dick Murdock and the real life Mr.X Dick Beyer make for a great time. Lydie Denier as manager (Angel Face) does a fine job and is so beautiful that she drew my eye no matter who else was in the scene. I loved Dr. Tweed and the wrestling gang who have even topped the excellent "Body Slam" in the hierarchy of wrestling movies IMHO.

Its 1979 "Mad Dog" Joe Decurso accidentally decapitates his opponent in a championship match. After the match "Mad Dog" goes into hiding (many rumours say he killed himself by jumping off the golden gate bridge.) Years later the decapitation controversy comes up again and wrestling fans and promoters want a new champion. In comes "The Mask" a wrestler who's wrestling style is very similar to what mad dog use to wrestle like. Join documentary film maker Leslie Uhgums and the president of the "Mad Dog" Joe Decurso fan club as they follow "The Mask" and try to figure out, is Joe the mask? or is the mask, Joe?

Great, Great Comedy featuring many all time great wrestlers and the legendary Wally George.

I'm surprised that I never heard of this movie before. Even though it's about wrestling, you don't need to like or even know anything about wrestling to enjoy it. There are a few things that don't make sense though. Georgia Wrestling having all it's title matches in California. The commissioner saying there will be 10 guys in the battle royale(and posters saying the same), then there were 12 guys in it. And being able to pin guys in a battle royale, not to mention the guy who goes under the bottom rope and is out. But those little details don't hurt the over all movie.
