Typical Fight Picture, 20 November 2008
5/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Ray Boom Boom Mancini, (Charlie Davis) played the role as a fighter who started out in a small town and won many knockout's and then his buddy decided he should go to Las Vegas and the big time money and fame. As these two guys are driving to Las Vegas, they pick up a hitchhiker by the name of Gina, (Jennifer Beals) and Charlie seems to fall in love with Gina at first setting his eyes on her. They arrive in Las Vegas and meet up with Johnny Ticotin, (Rod Steiger) who is a veteran boxing trainer and he sees a potential for a good boxer in Charlie and his desire to put his body and soul into his training. Eventually Charlie is ready for his first big match which has been arranged by Alex Dumas, (Joe Mantegna) who is a big time boxing promoter in Vegas. There are romance scenes between Gina and also a sexy gal who wears a red dress almost in every scene and is wearing him down in more ways than one. The fight scenes are not that great and I must say that Rod Steiger made an outstanding performance as a supporting actor.
