    Two words,straight to video and it stinks big time

    To be honest i fell asleep watching this terrible movie,so I had to watch the rest of it the day after.And the day after it was even more boring. The story is used hundreds of times,it's about a fighter who seeks revenge for his dead brother and therefor have to fight his brother's killer. The only thing worth seeing in this movie is the fighting scene at the end when the main character fights the world champion Matthias Hues in a illegal fist fight. I have seen Matthias Hues in other movies and he is a great kickboxer so I guess that is why the fight was okay. To be honest the fight is actually quit cool,but not cool enough. I'll give this movie 2/10 and the only reason that it is not a 1/10 is because of Matthias Hues and the fight at the end.

    So 2/10 is a good reason not to watch this movie.

    KEEP AWAY!!!

    One of my childhood favourites

    Used to to watch when I was a child. Very inspirational movie... used to reinact the fight scenes... paid lot of money to get this movie back.. used to have on vhs but fell out my bedroom window and broke... by time I found it both was green and looked like they was related to the hulk lol, very different movie, I love it.

    "Superstar" Billy Graham!!

    Fist Fighter is just another bad action movie filled with wanna be chop socky kung-fu "heroes". A really terrible movie that has nothing going for it except the legendary W.W.W.F. heavyweight champion Billy Graham. Yes the "Superstar" guest stars as the arm wrestler who challenges the "star" of this straight-to-video flick to a friendly game of arm wrestling. If you ever wanted to see the man in a movie, well this is your best bet. But the novelty wears off when his screen time is up because all you're left with is a waste of half inch tape.

    Not recommended, unless you're a "Superstar" Billy Graham fan.
