Premise for WWE Films Newest Movie

[NinoBrown]

[In "Knucklehead"], WWE Superstar, Paul “Big Showâ€￾ Wight plays Walter Krunk, a 7-foot-tall, 440-pound naïve giant who was raised in the St. Thomas Orphanage and never left – until he takes to the road with Eddie and Mary.

Shortly after Eddie loses his new fighter and finds himself $50,000 in debt to longtime nemesis and bookie Memphis Earl (DENNIS FARINA), he discovers Walter, a bumbling life-long resident of the orphanage-turned-handyman with his own debt problems: The kitchen fire Walter caused will close down the church’s orphanage in a week unless he comes up with $50,000. Upon overhearing Walter’s predicament, Eddie convinces the no-nonsense head nun, Sister Francesca (WENDY MALICK) that Walter can win the $100,000 grand prize at the tournament to pay off the church’s debts. But in order to do so, he will need to take Walter on the road, enter amateur fights along the way, and teach him how to become a real fighter.

When you thought 12 Rounds was bad, WWE Films redeems itself!

Vince leaching off of MMA fame, tsk tsk. What no Cam Gigandet?

LOL, I just picture this trailer with the movie guy from South Park.
"Big Show in a durpee dee...a durpee dum"

And seriously...can they get anymore stereotypical than..."OH SHIT WE'RE IN X AMOUNT DEBT!...BUT WAIT! THERE'S A CONTEST WHERE I CAN WIN THAT EXACT FUCKING AMOUNT!"

 

[LKP]

Big show is quite a good actor if you ask me. But like all wwe films this is going to dvd asap. Why not have orton in a film?

 

[Quintastic One]

I dunno, I think I may actually like this one. lol. Sure the plot is as basic as you can get, but I like these kinda stories. So I'll buy it.

actually, although the preview says fighter, and fighting, you should be aware that all the previews I have heard for this, its boxing not MMA.

 

[JurassicBonez]

Well, this will probably be the 1st WWE films movie I wont see.

 

[★Chuck Zombie★]

....and Big Show is a trained boxer as well. So maybe Big Show threw out the concept based on some of his own experiences. It sounds more like Kingpin to me though.

 

[Double J]

....So they're calling it "Knucklehead"...my guess they couldn't get rights to "My Giant 2"?



My Giant plot for those too young to know what I'm talking about;
A down-on-his-luck movie agent (Billy Crystal) goes to a movie site in Romania to be with his only client, his former paperboy. But once he gets there, the kid tells him he is getting a big time agent and that he is fired. Despondent, the agent roams the countryside until he loses control of his car and overturns into a pond where he seemingly is going to drown until a pair of gigantic hands pulls him free of the car.
Later he awakens in a monastery and discovers that a 7-1/2' man (NBA player Gheorge Muresan) rescued him. Money dances in front of the agent as he figures ways to get him back to America and into the movies. The giant is only interested in getting to Gallup to see his childhood girl friend. First the agent gets him a small role in the Romanian-filmed movie which earns his plane fare. Then he takes him to Las Vegas where he convinces Steven Seagal (in a cameo as himself) to include the giant in a new action film

Does anyone else think this sounds like the kind of movie Adam Sandler would have done in the 90s? If they have Rob Schneider in the crowd going 'you can do eet' I'll probably die laughing.

 

[gatesoftanhauser]

sounds like a wayans brothers movie

By the sounds of things, the only thing that could make this movie decent is by making continuous Waterboy references.

 

[MizMasta3000]

so there doing this and taker's movie at the same time

it cant be worse than beyond enemy lines: Columbia whatever

 

[Rated RJC]

If John Cena and Stone Cold can't get WWE fans to like their movies, what makes them think Big Show will be any different?

The only good to come out of this would be Big Show taking x amount of time off.

 

[gatesoftanhauser]

^Yeah. If it gets him out of the ring and off tv for awhile, fine by me.
