Cage

"Ultimate fighting to the extreme!"

"You win, you live. You loose, you die."

"Two muscled fighters are locked into a steel Cage to fight without rules and without mercy. A howling mob watches as one man is killed.

Across town, gangsters try to convince Billy (Lou Ferrigno) to become their Cage fighter. Billy, who suffered brain damage in Vietnam, always relies on his friend Scott (Reb Brown) to help him make decisions, says he will only do it if Scott lets him. The gangsters have Scott's bar fire-bombed, abduct Billy and trick him into fighting. As Scott begins blasting his way through the underworld to find his friend, Billy is on his own in the Cage.

Every one of the Cage fights is brutal and barbaric. Each combatant looks only to destroy his opponent with a combination of kick-boxing and all the other hand-to-hand martial arts.

By the end, Billy has brawled his way through the most murderous fighters in the savage sport, yet there are still two more battles to be fought ... Scott takes Billy's place for one last Cage fight, and then they both attack the gangland leaders who tried to ruin their lives. And once again, Its is a fight to the death." (From the video cover)

"Unfortunately they took full advantage of Lou's disability. What's worse is he allowed it." A viewer from Chicago

"I think that Lou Ferigno is the smartest man alive. I think that he is GOD" Lou #!

"This is a great film about friendship. Lou Ferrigno couldn't be better. Reb Brown makes the movie. The scene where he cuts loose with the shotgun in the bar is fantastic and a must see for Reb Brown fans." A viewer from New Jersey

Hardcore Ferrigno fans and people who love bad action movies

Comments

"If you can get past some of the ridiculous ethnic stereotypes in CAGE you may have fun watching it, because it's one of those movies that's so bad it's good -full of ridiculous dialog, outlandish situations, and laughably wretched acting. Though CAGE's many moments of unintentional humor make it very entertaining at times, serious fans of the action genre will be bored and possibly even offended by this lame entry." Movie Database

"We suppose this was meant to be taken seriously, but audiences didn't get the hint; Cage has been greeted with raucous, derisive laughter ever since its 1990 release." Hal Erickson, All-Movie Guide

"Pointless, violent film provides viewers with the human equivalent of a cockfight as Ferrigno and Brown go at it in the Asian 'sport' of cage fighting. A better title might have been THE INCREDIBLE HOKUM." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide

"I dont care what critics say, Cage kicked ass. Lou Ferrigno kicks ass."

"If someone says he likes the movie, I'd wonder why, given its cruelty, its pandering, its pedestrian technique, its ethnic stereotyping and its tastelessness (Lou Ferrigno plays a brain-damaged muscleman-child.) The only possible justification I can imagine for this movie is to drool at the sight of blood-soaked beefcake." vjmorton

"Great movie, full action. Lou was very good in this character."
