RIP Zeus-Deebo-Tiny Lister

[MCWAY]

Have you listened to either of Bruce Prichard’s podcasts on the movie?

I think so (probably the one on YouTube, posted shortly after Zeus died). Again, I saw the movie when I was 16, the day it hit theaters. So, as far as I was concerned, it was a blockbuster.

I genuinely think his character in No Holds Barred is frightening.

I saw it in the theatre when I was 19.

That first scene with him “crashing” that first Battle of the Tough Guys contest is hair-raising. Him walking down the stairs, clunk, clunk, clunk, and then picking up the waitress (by her face!) and dropping her is fiercely intimidating.

Also him slow-mo walking through the haze from the helicopter to confront Hulk as he takes part in an event with his young fans ...

Scary.

All this, plus he was friends with my earliest muscle heroes, David and Peter Paul. The Barbarian Brothers.

RIP Brother

I remember him in the Ironage movie "Don Juan De Marco".  It's a shame "No Holds Barred" is not available to buy on YouTube.  I do see a bootleg that looks watchable uploaded, but not the full movie, uploaded in good quality.  The way you describe it, it sounds like a pretty cool movie.

Zeus Entrance at 28:32 was a Thing of Nightmares!

RIP BIG FELLA!

Haha, I missed this.  That's the one.  As a kid, those unrealistic fight scenes brainwashed me.  In real life, it would be nearly impossible to fight multiple men like that.  Any times I've heard of anyone doing that involved very big dudes, and very drunk little dudes.

Oh - that's nothing.  I can show you a massive difference between Canada and the USA, in terms of streaming services - do you have Netflix, Earl?
