Watch Fight for Your Life For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Pretty Good

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

What do you get when you cross a Chinaman, a Mexican, a white man, and an African American baptist family in the deep south??? You get FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, the most outrageous, over the top, and politically incorrect 70's flick ever! This gets permanently filed in my "Movies With Balls" category. White trash racist loser Jesse Lee Kane (played to perfection by William Sanderson) breaks out of jail with the help of two buddies and takes the unsuspecting black family hostage while subjecting them to sickening acts of violence and humiliation. Eventually, Kane goes off the deep end, and the family gets the upper hand for an all out onslaught of bloody vengeance! Its all done with that classic grind house exploitation style and humor. This movie is considered as one of the most offensive films ever made, and it is completely outlawed in the U.K. It can be compared to "Last House on The Left", but it dives much deeper into sensitive waters. Kane's racial slurs and downright meanness are enough to make the average viewer shut this off. Combine that with rape, the bashing of a child's head with a rock, and all sorts of verbal abuse and slander, and you will never remove this film from your sub-conscious. The acting is superb. William Sanderson and Robert Judd are perfectly paired up as opposites in the good vs. evil showdown, and rest of the cast has a lot of fun being naughty and uninhibited. (the grandmother is hilarious). All adding up to a surprising and satisfying ending, the events of this film will either offend audiences or entertain! Either way, its the best of both extremes, and that is what the exploitation genre is all about!

I watched "Fight for your Life" as part of my 'video nasty romp' and I have to say, this one definitely deserves the nasty title.Three thugs, a redneck, a Mexican vato and an Asian psycho, escape prison and hole up in a black preacher's house. They hold them hostage and have some 'fun' with them in the meantime. Things get ugly really fast. The ending is one of the best I've ever seen in a movie of this type.A strange mix between "Last House on the Left," "The Defiant Ones" and "Tenement: Game of Survival," this movie is guaranteed to offend your liberal loser friends.Watch it at your next cocktail party.9 out of 10, kids.

This is a movie for people who enjoy offensive dialog and taboos on display. Movies like this are not made anymore and i feel that is sad. We live in a country that's at war but we are too afraid to show fictional violence. This was made in the era that put out such cult classics like "Last House on the Left", "Cannibal Holocaust" and "I Spit On Your Grave". Three convicts escape jail and then hold a religious black family captive in their own home. This film has all the exploitive treats like rape, humiliation, child murder and racism. For it's time "Fight For Your Life" had to be one of the most offensive movies in 1977. I have news for you it still is today. The cast was wonderful, especially the bigot played by William Anderson. He hit all the right notes when it came to portraying a despicable and hateful character. He makes a minister do a shuck and jive dance while shooting at his feet for crying out loud. The thing i like about exploitive films like this is that it delivers with eventual revenge. I don't mind being showed ugliness because it reminds me how wrong things like bigotry and crime are. If you want to see a movie with guts and thats willing to push the envelope and entertain, this is the film for you. The Grandma in this movie is hilarious , especially when the whole family is singing gospel at gunpoint. ***1/2/****

It's easy to pass Fight for Your Life off as 'Last House on the Left' inspired racist garbage, but this film approaches it's subject matter in an assured and straight-up manner, and while it often gets uncomfortable to watch; it's hard to deny that the film provokes a reaction in the viewer - and that is the most important thing about a film like this. The film definitely takes influence from Wes Craven's pioneering shocker, as well as the rest of the 'rape and revenge' genre, but by adding racist themes into the mix, director Robert A. Endelson instantly gives his film more scope and more potency, as rather than have the violence directed against one, or a group of people; it's directed against a whole race of people. The plot follows three inmates that escape from prison. While on the run from the cops, they decide to hole up in a house in the woods, inhabited by a family of black people. These convicts aren't very nice anyway, but their leader also happens to be an astute racist; and so decides to take out his frustrations on the captive family in the most brutal and humiliating ways possible.Fight for Your Life benefits from some surprisingly good production values, and a host of well worked and convincing performances. Most of the characters are a little over the top, but it's easy to believe them and the situation that the film presents. There isn't quite as much brutality in this film as there has been in many similar films made before or after this one, but the way that the director puts the focus on the things that the characters say increases the tension ten-fold, especially in this day and age, as it's difficult to comprehend how someone could be so uncompromisingly racist. The scenes that see the lead convict take his frustrations out on the well-mannered family are uncomfortable and shocking, and this is where the film's power lies. It's hard to sit there and simply watch what is going on, and while I can't deny that I thoroughly enjoyed this film; it doesn't always make for easy viewing. It all boils down to a satisfying conclusion that both gives the audience what they want and brings credence to the lead characters. Overall, this won't be everyone's cup of tea; but I found it to be an excellent slice of exploitation and comes recommended to all the right people.
