What are the best “underdog stands up to the bully” movies?
I’m thinking of the Karate Kid franchise, which I’ve never seen!
What other movies represent this genre?

Bad santa
shareMassacre at Central High (1976)
This is only if your tastes go more for the thriller than cheerful movies
That was a wild and fun B level thriller with some crazy kills
Post-Columbine it could never be made
It's readily available on the internet and pops up on Amazon from time to time
Robert Carradine plays a NEEERRRDD
eight years before starring in Revenge Of The Nerds😀
The Pursuit of Happyness to me is a kind of underdog movie.
shareBetter Off Dead (1985)
No Retreat No Surrender (1986)
How the heck has no one mentioned Back to the Future yet?

BTTF for sure had elements of the bully gets taken down theme, but BTTF is also its own thing.
That lo budg vid was interesting, but I didn’t care much for the misogynistic language. It’s not ok by me for a male to slur another male by suggesting he’s feminine.
That obviously denigrates femininity.
I realise it’s common in our culture, it’s accepted, but it’s foul as it spreads the message that women are weak and to be reviled.
Personally, I feel any man should feel proud to be compared to women as we can do so many things that men can’t, which involve the survival of our species.
