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?

My Bodyguard (1980) Stars: Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, Matt Dillon

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Oh yeah! I’ve never seen that one either.

Great suggestion, thank you!

[–] MonStar (13552) 5 years ago

It is on YouTube:

Thanks MonStar! I watched it this morning from your link. I can’t believe it’s in YouTube.

It was excellent! I’ve always wanted to see it but only saw parts on cable.

Thanks! MonStar just pointed me in that direction with an almost identical response.

Those threads are going to be very good reading on the My Bodyguard page.

Revenge of the nerds

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

Haha! I’ve only seen parts of Revenge of the Nerds.

[–] davodikum (6212) 5 years ago

Me too. But thought it fit.

Three O'Clock High (1987) is the first that comes to mind for me.

[–] MonStar (13552) 5 years ago

Excellent choice. It is available without commercials, On Demand, on the MoviePlex channel, which Comcast/Xfinity carries for cable users. Other cable providers may have it.

I really enjoyed that movie.

Undisputed (2002)

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

That sounds good.

[–] db20db (17754) 5 years ago

Rocky 3 (1982) is similar and would also apply.

[–] ODB82 (2055) 5 years ago

Big Bully, obviously.

Does "Carrie" (1976) count? https://moviechat.org/tt0074285/Carrie

[–] exithereplease (3553) 5 years ago

That was the 1st movie that I thought of.

[–] CharlotteXavier (2357) 5 years ago

I’d say Carrie counts! Those kids were vicious!
