Review of Blood & Guts (1978) by Glen W — 27 Apr 2010
Ive been watching these little known wrestling movies from the 70s lately (watching Below the Belt last week) and they have a little bit of difficulty matching the magic that is created in the squared circle.
This actually would make a good companion w/ The Wrestler because it is partly about a wrestler who is working past his prime & suffers heart problems. William Smith carries Blood & Guts unfortunately he is saddled bagged w/ a bad gimmick & a weak script.
The other part of this is the new comer Brian Clarke to the wrestling world & it is funny when he goes through a slue of gimmicks until he settles on Jungle Boy. Pretty lame but it's not like Vince McMahon was creative consultant.
