Below The Belt - DVD

Arthur Harris (Graham Chapman) was despondent to find that his wife Fiona (Diana Quick) was walking out on him-and after several botched suicide attempts, a handyman (David Jason) came knocking for work. Arthur gave the fixer the dicey job of doing him in when he wouldn't expect it... but when Fiona comes back seeking forgiveness, there's no backing out of the deal! Dark farce also stars Simon Williams, Edward Hardwicke, Bill Paterson, Carolyn Seymour; Peter Medak directs. 88 minutes.

Below the Belt is a gritty and humorous drama about life on the road as a female professional wrestler, in the tradition of Rocky (1976) and Fat City (1972). Based on the memoir To Smithereens by Rosalyn Drexler (who wrestled as the Mexican Spitfire), it is a realistic and moving take on the highs and lows of life on the mat. Rosa Rubinsky (Regina Baff, Excape from Alcatraz) is a natural at fending off unwanted sexual advances while working at a sports arena concession stand. So when she's discovered by promoter Bobby Fox (John C. Becher, Gremlins) and trained by real-life legend Mildred Burke, Rosa soon finds herself competing in the turbulent world of pro wrestling.

Hawk, a dolphin communication expert, learns that dolphins in the Bahamas are dying due to the SONAR equipment testing being carried out by the US Navy. He must now confront them and stop the deaths.
