Plot

edit

Jack Severino (Dominique Vandenberg) is a quiet yet intense man who has no recollection of his past. He spends his time in violent Vale Tudo fights in a small South American village. The only friend he has is his manager Manolo (Steven Bauer), an Indian trying to escape poverty. Jack's violent past catches up with him when he sees a woman (Stana Katic) he has not seen in years bring back his memories.

Reception

edit

The film was not well received by critics and has a 0% fresh rating (from 3 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes[3] and David Nusair of Reel Film said "There've been a lot of bad straight-to-video action flicks over the years, but this is surely the worst".[4] DVD Talk reviewer Scott Weinberg said in his review, "Just because something's (very) cheaply made, amazingly generic, and more than a little stupid -- that doesn't mean it's boring. And if you're the sort of movie fan who'd grab a DVD called Pit Fighter from the shelf and flip it over to read the plot synopsis -- then Pit Fighter is probably something you'd enjoy."[2]
