    Never heard about the "Strength and Honour" film. Just tried to get it at Netflix, not there by DVD or streaming.

    Any suggestions?

    And I didn't know Richard chamberlain was still acting and with an Irish accent no less.

    Just saw it listed at IMDB--it was either loved or hated.

      i wouldnt call it a boxing movie, but its a movie based around bare knuckle boxing, and is one of my favourite movies ever - Snatch. Im guessing nearly everyone has seen it though

        Heard the name but never seen it. From your description it sounds good though, so I think I'll check it out.

          I saw the Champions Forever doc. Yes, great.

          Did you say if you've seen "Ring of Fire"?
          I know I've heard the name a few times before but I don't think I've actually seen Ring Of Fire. Wait, I'm thinking about the movie.

          Nope, I definitely haven't seen the doc so I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.

            Like it might actually be the worst film ever.

              Is that the movie with Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt?
              Or is there more than one film named Snatch?

                  Brad Pitt plays a gypsy boxer, Jason Statham is one of the promoters.

                  Benicio Del Toro has a pretty small role.

                  Brick top (another promoter) might be the best movie villian of all time in this movie
