Things to do today: Fight!
1985, USA, Colour, 90 minutes
Written and directed by Jacques Baggatage
Starring Randall Gunnard, Roxy Chiraz, Bob Juddard
Monotonal steel worker Hank Cannon likes to fight. No one in Pittsburgh can beat him, and he'll take on anyone; drug dealers, co-workers, cops, mimes, burly sailors. He just loves fighting. This causes much confusion as the other characters spend countless amounts of screen time trying to figure out what he's fighting for. The answer is nothing. French director's Baggatage's attempt at a social critique of America has become quite the favourite among the far right and backyard wrestling crowds.
Watch out for – The Cannon twitch; when he does it, you know he's a rumble's coming.
Quote – “I don't want to make love because I might want to fight you later.”
