The ORiginal and Far better Hercules

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2001)

This is a fantastic and original movie. Hercules is obviously just a rip off of this film. Everything from going the distance, the love story, the gruff coach, everything. This film is not about boxing it is about beleiving in yourself and finding courage. All the odds are agianst him and the whole world is laughing in his face but that doesn't stop him in fact he trains even harder. What a great message this has.
THis is a great movie because not only does it have a wonderful theme it is great film making. THe script is both funny and touching, the characters are original. THe camera angles are fantastic and the cheap budget this was made on is mindboggling. NO wonder this film is hailed as the 78th best film ever made. It was the first of a long series of underdog sports movies and is the greatest sports movie ever.
