Pushed to the Limit

About This Movie

Pushed to the Limit is an interesting blend of action and drama, centering around Mimi, a champion wrestler. The film dives deep into her world, showing the highs of her career and the personal lows when tragedy strikes. The performances, especially from the lead, have a raw quality that feels genuine, which adds a layer of emotional weight to the action sequences. The wrestling scenes, while not always perfectly choreographed, showcase some impressive practical effects for the time. It's not just a sports film; it also touches on themes of resilience and love. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that adds to its gritty charm. Definitely a unique piece from early '90s cinema.

Released on VHS in 1992, DVD in 2005 · Filmed primarily in California wrestling venues · Features practical effects for wrestling scenes · Original score by David A. Hughes
