Pleasant enough, but a rather politic appeal to both the country-western fan and the boxing fan. The musical element, however, is much overwhelmed by the pugilistic, as an aspiring singer enrolls in an amateur Toughman contest in order to bankroll his career. These are unfortunate proportions, because Dennis Quaid, who doesn't look tough or act tough, is much more credible and likable when singing than fighting (especially likable when singing his own composition: "The Jungle Song"). With Warren Oates, Carlene Watkins, Stan Shaw, and Pam Grier; directed by Richard Fleischer. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
