Overview
Fist Fighter is an action and drama film released in the United States on May 12, 1989, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-nine minutes. The film was directed by Frank Zuniga and stars Jorge Rivero, Matthias Hues, Edward Albert, Brenda Bakke, and Mike Connors. The story follows C.J. Thunderbird, a down-on-his-luck professional fighter who learns that his old friend has been killed in an illegal fight. Seeking vengeance, he discovers that the killer is a goon named Rhino and tracks him down in Bolivia. Rhino works for a local drug lord, and the only way for C.J. to reach him is by proving himself with his fists. To protect his best goon from being hurt, the drug lord arranges for corrupt local authorities to arrest C.J. and send him to prison. Once incarcerated, the only way for C.J. to secure his freedom is by fighting the prison's monstrous colossal cage-fighting champion.
