Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A GI in Vietnam saves his buddy's life, but in the process is shot in the head. The injury results in brain damage to the point where he basically has a child's brain in a (very large) man's body. When they get out of the Marine Corps, the two open up a bar together, but some local gangsters make things tough for them after they refuse to take part in brutal "cage" matches where fighters battle to the point of serious injury and/or death.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When cast, Lou Ferrigno did extensive research on underground cage match style fighting, soldier life after injuries, and P.T.S.D., but Reb Brown did not. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end of the movie, after all the bad guys have been killed, Tiger Joe picks up a case of money and gives it to Scott and Billy so that they can rebuild their bar. In reality, that case of money would have to be submitted as evidence, and Tiger Joe, Scott and Billy could be prosecuted for stealing evidence. See more » |
