The Foot Fist Way

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I recently watched the film The Foot Fist Way and really enjoyed it.  It’s absolutely hilarious.  

foot_fist_wayThe movie was made in 2006 and follows intense Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) as he loses his confidence after he catches his wife cheating on him. In order to restore his confidence, he attends a martial arts expo to meet his idol, B movie action star Chuck “the Truck” Wallace.  And not everything turns out as he expected.

It’s a low budget film shot on 16mm for only $70,000.  It premiered at the LA Film Festival and would later show at Sundance.  It was soon picked up by Will Ferrell’s production company, Gary Sanchez Productions.

Danny McBride is going on to bigger and better things (so I’ve heard) on the new show, Eastbound and Down.  I haven’t gotten to see it yet - it’s on HBO - but I plan on downloading an episode soon to see what I think.  McBride was also in the Judd Apatow flick Pineapple Express.
