I liked this movie... Erik Estrada really is a good actor and I thought this movie should have catapulted him to fame, and allowed him to avoid the typecasting from CHiPs. It reminded me of the Kirk Douglas boxing movie, Champion. Estrada really was in shape, and the boxing scenes were impressive. Other characters in the movie, including Morgan Fairchild, and the actress who played his mother, were very good. Sadly, Estrada's career seemed to go nowhere after this. Too bad. Very talented and charismatic actor.
