Comments Thread For: Vinny Paz's "Bleed For This" Lawsuit is Finally Resolved

Requiem for a heavyweight, is a great boxing film that leaves you empty! Director Ralph Nelson, Written by Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone). https://i.pinimg.com/736x/6c/5b/51/6c5b51534a48a994c608fb7373086979--anthony-quinn-requiem.jpg The film stars Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney, Julie Harris, real prisefighters Jack Dempsey, Paolo Rosi, and Muhammad Ali himself (as Cassius Clay). Anthony Quinn as Mountain Rivera is unforgetable, as a vet of 111 fights he sports for this role, a many times broken nose, cauliflowered ears, bruised, lacerated, and smashed eyebrows, swollen cheekbones, and he talks in a raspy-wheezy voice. He clings to the only didnity he knows, the ring, but can't quite fanthom the reason he must stop. Jakie Gleason is great as Maish the pragmatic sketchy heel who you feel a bit of empathy for, Gleason even throws fans of The Honeymooners a few bones during his card playing sequence with Mickey Rooney doing a Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton riff. Mickey Rooney shines as the melancholy, cutman with a heart, and Julie Harris is playing her regular schtick, a spinster, (at least for me, since that is the role I've usually seen her play), albiet one with a heart of gold. Her sequences with Quinn are both touching and disheartening. Madame Spivy, is uniquely off putting as an obese froglike lump in mans clothes who rules the bookmaking world with a cadre of goons. You get reminded of the great Shirley Stoler. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kKjXbMKV_So/V-VflFe1tFI/AAAAAAAAFhk/C70ILUjtc0ckfC02jDkh3qT0xllsfrDOgCLcB/s1600/Graveyard%2BRequiem%2BFor%2BA%2BHeavyweight%2B1962.jpg Do you see the real fighters?

Very underrated movie. Hands of Stone and Bleed For This were both great movies. Reviewers unfairly expect a Rocky 1 movie with every boxing movie release. Cinderella man was miles better than all Rocky movies combined, yet Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 93% and CM 80%. I don't even bother with the critic reviews and just check user ratings instead.

i want them to make a movie about Broner starring Kevin Hart Classic bro!!!

Boxing movies have always done well.I think there are just a TON of storys about fighters that would be great movies.Jonn L(the most known man of his day)Dempsey(former hobo)Stanly Kechel(do I need to say anthing)Harry Greb,Micky Waker.Pep Jack Johnson(its time for a remake of Great White Hope)All these guys and more have GREAT storys.

i want them to make a movie about Broner starring Kevin Hart LMAO I want one on Paulie Malinaggi starring one of the dude's from Jersey Shore.

Maybe it’s because I am a New England native but I liked the movie and it was pretty accurate. I also liked the fighter which was based on Mickey Ward who I knew personally and hung out with a few times. My son played football with Dick Ecklunds kid so Dick Ecklund and I hung out a few times to when he was sober. He came over to my house to watch Trinidad fight.

these boxing movies are always bust. I liked duran but if im being honest I never finished it. mayeb watched 40 minutes of it. These are the following boxers I would like to see movies on but know it would be a bust : Johnny Tapia Hector Macho Camacho Edwin Rosario Julio Cesar Chavez Sugar Ray Robinson Ray Mancini Just to name a few though they are countless others.

the movie was total BS I watched a little of it no interest ...whatever settlement he made he got the better of it, the movie wasn't worth much and didn't earn .... most fight movies do not, ie: Duran's hands of stone, a box oftfice bust but on the other hand good movies with Creedence and Value succeed : ie: Cinderella Man Cinderella Man was utter garbage and a fable with more fallacies than Donald Trump's sworn oath.

well...it was better than southpaw, grudge match and duran.

Lol, for 175k dollars but still a cheap move.

"WBC cares" :lol1: :haha:
