DVD Grunt! The Wrestling Movie (Used in excellent condition)

"Grunt! The Wrestling Movie" is a 1985 film, a true cult classic for fans of the genre. It's not a classic sports documentary, but a mockumentary that blends comedy, mystery, and ring action, typical of the over-the-top style of the 80s.

Here are the main details you'll find on the DVD:

1. The Plot (Bizarre and Grotesque)

The film revolves around a mystery in the world of professional wrestling. Years earlier, the legendary champion "Mad Dog" Joe DeCurso disappeared from the scene after a tragic ring incident: he literally "decapitated" an opponent with a kick (a scene deliberately rendered in an absurd, ultra-kitsch manner). A film crew begins to investigate when a new, mysterious masked wrestler named "The Mask" appears. The suspicion is that Mad Dog himself is under the mask, returning to reclaim his title.

2. What to Expect from the Film

• Mockumentary Style: The film attempts to mimic the style of journalistic investigations, interviewing excited fans, corrupt managers, and other wrestlers.

• 80s Atmosphere: If you love big hair, neon colors, synthesizers, and that mix of cartoonish violence and slapstick comedy, this title is for you.

• Cameos and Guest Stars: The film features real figures from the world of wrestling and entertainment of that era, such as controversial TV host Wally George and the androgenous wrestler "Adorable" Adrian Street.

3. DVD Features

As a film produced by New World Pictures (Roger Corman's production company), DVD editions (often released by independent labels like Scorpion Releasing or Ronin Flix in international markets) usually include:

• Video: Original aspect ratio of the time (often 1.85:1), with that typical low-budget film grain.

• Audio: Original English tracks (a historical Italian dub is rarely found, more often present in import catalogs).

• Extras: Often include interviews with director Allan Holzman and original theatrical trailers.

Why seek it out?

It's a perfect film for anyone who wants to see the "crazier" and less serious side of pre-modern era wrestling. Don't expect realism: it's a celebration of kayfabe (the illusion of wrestling) taken to the extreme.
