Body Slam Hal Needham

A down-and-out music promoter (Dirk Benedict) ventures into the world of professional wrestling when he takes on a pair of grapplers ("Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Sam Fatu) as clients. And when he books a band to play at the matches, he mixes rock and roll and wrestling into a wildly successful new genre of entertainment. Outrageous comedy also stars Tanya Roberts, Charles Nelson Reilly, Billy Barty, and Captain Lou Albano, with Freddie Blassie, Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, and other pro wrestlers appearing as themselves. 89 min.
