Fan Casting Good Old Fisticuffs

Role added by matthewchadd on October 6, 2024

Make Suggestion

Description of Good Old Fisticuffs:

Some films insist that their average Joe, didn't-train-in-Tibet-or-live-in-a-French-ghetto hero can upstage and beat any fighting style because his rough and tumble streetwise fisticuffs is either more resourceful, more tenacious or less "frilly" than the competition. If any explanation is given for why this disparity always goes in the hero's favor, it's because the hero has "heart" while his opponent is more obsessed with good form, or is all flash and no substance (whereas the hero learned all the important, combat-relevant bits through sheer life-or-death experience).
