** Kickboxer and mixed martial artist Wrestling/BobSapp plays there a gigantic ManChild who overreacts hilariously when Turley breaks his nose. Only a couple years after the film's release, Sapp abandoned his competitive career in both sports and started tapping out at the first punches to collect paychecks and run. One wonders if it was this film which gave him the idea.
