The Toughest Man in the World

Hokey tv-movie has Mr. T sticking up for some inner-city kids. His name might be "Bruise" but the action is fairly tepid. It's worth seeing just for the rap Monsieur T does over the opening credits. The video was available on Cabin Fever, in case you're trying to locate it.

Mr Ts best role ever. I like the scene when he gets hit by a chair

In the words of Mr. T himself, this movie is ABSOLUDACRIS. In the best way possible. I've probably seen this movie 30 times, and it never gets old. Corny, cheesy, silly, absurd. Pick a synonym. But you cannot tell me it's not incredibly enjoyable. Mr. T is a treasure, and so is this movie. So watch it, FOO!

The Toughest Man in the World (1984) is a made-for-television movie currently available on Tubi. The story follows a Chicago bouncer who decides to start an afterschool program for at-risk kids. To keep it running, he must navigate legal hurdles and regulations, all while keeping the kids engaged and away from street life. But are the odds stacked too high for this do-gooder?

Directed by Dick Lowry (Pigs vs Freaks), the film stars Mr. T (Rocky III), Dennis Dugan (Happy Gilmore), John P. Navin Jr. (Vacation), Jimmie Skaggs (Lethal Weapon), and Peggy Pope (9 to 5).

This is the epitome of a cheesy, low-budget made-for-TV movie. The acting is painfully stiff, the dialogue is stale, and the premise feels more like a PBS special than a film. The fight scenes are atrocious, with poor choreography and even worse execution. The training sequences are equally bad, and there's a hilariously awkward accident interview that had me unintentionally laughing. Even the obligatory 80s montage-a genre staple-is poorly done.

In conclusion, The Toughest Man in the World has no redeeming qualities. I pity the fool who watches this. I'd give it a 2/10.

In most of his films and TV shows Mr T-to his credit-has always been a good role model to youngsters. He has mostly played moralistic characters who try to encourage people to develop qualities such as loyalty, friendship, thoughtfulness and humility. The Toughest Man in the World is one of those films.

Throughout the movie Mr T as Bruise Brubaker shows a young kid the error of his ways and how to do the right thing. Of course, there's plenty of action throughout. The young kid strays from the path of good on quite a few occasions but Bruise Brubaker never gives up and is always there to pick up the pieces.

It's a shame they don't make movies like this any more. This is a movie that conveys a moralistic message but at the same time provides plenty of action and entertainment.

Well done Mr. T.
