I'd been looking for a copy of Ready To Rumble off on lately. Only every place online wants far more than I'm willing to pay for it. Anyway, I stopped in at fye and what do you know... they had it for a measly $3 (granted, it was used and had a generic plastic case and crappy little paper inserted in it that looked like it was printed on someone's Epson at home.) So I get home, pop it in my Apex DVD player (that plays every disc I've stuck in it so far, by the way... it actually plays stuff my dad's top-end RCA won't play) and what do I get... NO DISC. I turn the disc over and there's an insane amount of tiny surface scratches on it. So my question is... Did somebody honestly watch Ready to Rumble that much... or has my DVD player evolved over the years and decided not to let me watch David Arquette stick his hands down his pants to get free drinks? Oh, and I gotta go back to the store to exchange it.  |

I paid 'round $24 for it when it was first released. It really is one of the best things ever. Saw it at the theater twice, have the soundtrack and used to have a Ready to Rumble shirt that had the logo.
The dvd commentary s great. "Your mama's Bam Bam Bigalow", truly something really special.

I went to the theater to watch that movie with some friends and I can honestly say that was the first day I was embarest to be a wrestling fan. That movie sucked ass! They made it seem like all wrestling fans were as stupid as the main characters. I don't know about you but the wrestling fans I know are intelligent people who know that the show is rigged but can appreciate it on a different level. This must have been what the heads of wcw thought their fans were really like outside of the arenas which would explain the booking that was going on at the time.

I enjoyed it. Not enough to buy it, but an occaisional netflix rental does me just fine.

I thought it was just boring. I didn't find it embarrassing or "an affront to wrestling/film making", but it was all pretty paint-by-numbers.

You should try your local video rental stores, likely they have it for sale as a used rental. If you had Cinemax about 3 months ago or so, I remember them playing it all the damn time.
I like the movie because it destroys what little semblance to kayfabe there actually is anymore. Good stuff, indeed.

Yeah, I got the soundtrack through my dad's BMG a while back for hella cheap one year (I think it was buy 1 CD, get 3 free). Awesome CD. My bro, who was never really a fan, burned it and used to play the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" version a ton in his car. |

I'm just glad that I'm not the only guy who loved that movie!  Sure, it's Wrestlecrap, but it's fun Wrestlecrap. And Sting kicks some @$$ in the end, so it's all good! |

Nothing beats a van of farting nuns singing "Running With the Devil" and Sid Vicious and Perry Saturn getting owned by shoot fighter Martin Landau.

I must admit it is something of a guilty pleasure of mine, like the Police Academy movies and BASEketball. It wouldn't get as near a bad rep as it does if they didn't actually make Arquette the champion.

I hate this movie with a passion typically reserved for John Cena's superman push Are you serious??? This movie freakin ROCKS! I first saw it during a family vacation years ago. I stayed in one day and it was on. I have yet to see it since. As long as I never have to see the guy that wasn't David Arquette's ass again I'll be happy. |

I'm serious it's horrible...we have people sticking fingers up their own asses, Arquette acting like a young mark, the plot makes as much sense as NO HOLDS BARRED |

There is honestly nothing better on this planet than channel surfing at 2 a.m. and finding "Ready to Rumble" on TBS once every month or so.

I bought my VHS copy from The Warehouse (used to be Blockbuster Music) new for like .99 cents. One of my favorite movies that I'll never...EVER...part with.
