Fighting Spirit

About This Movie

Fighting Spirit is an interesting piece from 1992, blending action with some heavy themes. The story follows Billy, a young fighter whose life spirals after his sister Judith suffers trauma. There’s a rawness to the fights, and you can feel the stakes as Billy gets pulled into the world of illegal street fighting. The pacing has its moments—some parts drag a bit while others hit hard. The performances, especially from the lead, are filled with desperation and grit, capturing that chaotic energy of a young man fighting for family. It’s not polished, but that’s what gives it a distinctive feel. The practical effects during the fight scenes are a nice touch, too, grounding the action in a way that feels authentic.
