Retired pro-wrestler and MMA veteran Jack “Horsepower” Silver (director, writer and star Greg Burridge, who is also a pro wrestler) has been taken to Deathpit, an underground fighting tournament featuring some of the world’s worst criminals and fighters, like Hammerstone (Bryan Larkin) and Kasparnov (Thomas Dawkins). Horsepower has no idea if what’s happening is happening to him at times, as he’s been hit in the head so many times that his ex-wife once threw in the towel in his last match when he was punched once.
I don’t know Progress Wrestling or the UK indy scene all that well, but I do know that the man playing Kasparov is Cara Noir. A lot of the stuntwork is done by wrestlers, so the fights are the main draw here, and they’re wild, including X-ray moments like a video game. Sure, I may have watched tons of underground fighting movies lately, but this stood out because of its high-energy style and willingness to go insane in its matches.
You can watch this on Tubi.
