The Big Brawl (1980)

Alternate title: Battle Creek Brawl.

Synopsis: The son of a small store owner is forced to enter a wrestling duel when his brother's fiancée is kidnapped by an unscrupulous wrestling manager.

Appraisal: Pretty routine stuff here, although the fights are fairly well done. I can't give a very precise assessment of it because I saw it in a Chinese-dubbed version, with very poor subtitles. Also, I watched it on a full-screen video version where (if I understand the mechanism correctly) the pan-and-scan was absent; I say this based on the fact that there were many scenes where characters were out of the frame.

Rating: 30
