Audio 2: Commentary with with Writer Straw Weisman
and Director of Photography Lloyd Freidus
A mean trashy exploitation picture about three convicts who escape from jail and hole up at the house of a black minister. There are a few nasty scenes where the minister’s family is being repeatedly terrorized by the thugs. In the end the minister turns the tables on the 3 convicts and gives them their just desserts.
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE may well be one of the most politically incorrect movies ever made, but it’s also one of the most gripping and entertaining examples of the zero-budget grindhouse genre since the blaxploitation flicks of Jack Hill and early Wes Craven (whose THE HILLS HAVE EYES came out the same year).
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE isn’t for everyone – Straw Weisman’s screenplay contains just about every racial slur known to mankind – but it’s well shot, well edited, unsettlingly well acted and there’s precious little padding so no danger of getting impatient for things to start boiling over again. It may be a time capsule but it’s a very potent one, and it’s sobering to realise that people like Kane’s character are still out there, and not just mouldering in prison cells either.
That granny sure has a foul mouth: “Faker in whorehouse” Im gonna use that!
