body slam ( 1987 ) be a flat out terrible movie . the low budget reek and the direction be pedestrian ( at best ) and the writing and acting be lame . but if youre into old school wrestling ( circa 1970 through the mid 80 ) then you will be more entertained than the average viewer . i have to warn you and this movie stink on ice . i give it a two because i felt like be generous . this turkey be direct by stunt master hal needham . the star be roddy piper and the tonga kid and a bunch of scrub wrestler and c list actor ( dirk benedict ) . the synopsis of this movie be about a promoter who want to combine hair rock and wrestling . but their be others that do not want him to succeed . there more but i do not want to spoil it for you . if you can stomach the bad acting and inane storyline and there a few surprise near the end for die hard wrestling fan . i wouldn not recommend this to my bad enemy ( and i mean it ) .
