Must Have for Conway & Knotts Fans!.......2005-09-30

Basically, this is the Conway and Knotts that we loved in the Apple Dumpling Gang, full-length. This is Conway's and Knotts' brand of slapstick comedy that perfectly matches the film's theme. Their performance in this film is a notch above that of the Private Eyes. If you watch the Prize Fighter as though you were seeing it on the big screen in 1979, you'll agree that this is the quintessential Conway and Knotts.

A moral boxing movie. .......2005-05-28

This is a movie for boxing fans who want thier monies worth. It stars Tim Conway as a bumbling boxer who really hasn't made a name for himself, and Don Knotts as his manager. The jokes are flat here, and it seems more serious than a comedy. However, it does make up for itself with showing a moral boxer. In the movie Conway is set up with other bum boxers like himself, and he beats them all, and then he gets the golden opprtunity to take on the boxing champion in his weight catagory. Here Knotts gets mixed up with some shady characters in which Knotts and Conway can stand to make alot of money if Conway throws the fight. However, when Conway learns of this something snaps within him, and he goes out there with all he has, and ends up winning the bout. It's Disney fare no doubt, and it wasn't even put out by Disney, but just about average.

Waist of time and money.......2005-07-20

This is one of the worst movies I've seen. I'm a boxing and ultimate fighting fan and also like martial arts movies. The fighting in this movie is a total disappointment as well as everything else. The boxing is awful, which is the main reason I rented it. There may have been one somewhat entertaining fight but all I can really remember is seeing men basically slapping each other. The choreographer, director, or whatever didn't seem know what boxing is actually like nor put much effort into the fights. It looked like they just picked guys of the street and had them pretend to box. Fighting doesn't have to be realistic to be entertaining and too much realism will look sloppy and can be boring (I've seen many boring boxing matches). This is just sloppy.

"Rocky" it ain't..........2005-06-08

This film with a boxing theme is about a down and out man, Ed Jones, getting a second chance in life. It's also about the seamy side of the boxing world, with one promoter, Arliss King (Pat Richardson), putting on "Bad News Slugout" shows, which are ultra violent matches, and another corrupt promoter, Whitey (Gary Busey, who sells himself short in this part), out for the fast buck. Ed Jones has a lot of tragedy in his life, with a past of alcohol and fast women, a pregnant wife, and the desire to be a boxer. He agrees to do the "Slugout" shows, aiming for higher things in his career.

The production values, outside of the footage that takes place in the boxing ring, which is well done, are nil. The cinematography is truly atrocious (home movie quality), the editing equally awful, and the audio sometimes fades in and out, with the occasional strange dubbing, but despite the "zero budget" look, I'm sure the film will be of interest to fight fans. In a fine performance as Ed Jones, Rob Boyd has a good screen presence, and is believable as the central character of the boxer.
Leon Spinks, a great fighter who in real life has seen the ups and downs of a career in the boxing ring, has a small part, as does infamous skater Tonya Harding.
I'm giving this film an extra star, because even though the babes prance around topless in several scenes, we are spared the constant barrage of foul language that often permeates this type of film, and for this I thank writer/director Mark Mason.
Total running time is 90 minutes.
