“One Way Or Another, You're Gonna Get Slammed!”
Body Slam is a 1986 American comedy film directed by Hal Needham and starring Dirk Benedict, Roddy Piper, Tanya Roberts, Sam Fatu, and Captain Lou Albano. The film revolves around down-and-out music promoter M. Harry Smilac who inadvertently becomes a successful professional wrestling manager. After being exiled from the business by rival manager Captain Lou Marano, he finds success in promoting shows that feature both wrestling and rock music. The film features many well-known wrestlers of the time and references the Rock 'n' Wrestling era of professional wrestling. Needham had arguments with Shel Lytton and Steve Burkow, the pair that produced and wrote the film, regarding his changes to the script. This resulted in lawsuits that delayed the film's release. As a result, the film only saw a theatrical release in the state of Arizona, outside of that state, it was released direct-to-video. It was Needham's final theatrical film.
