I rented this movie from my local library and thought it might be good considering I like this type of movie and considering who was in it but boy was I wrong. The acting stunk, the fight scenes were just as bad and they got a couple of known people to be in it but didn't cast anyone with acting ability to play the lead? I noticed some people gave it a 10. Why would you ever consider giving this pile of horse **** a 10. You can say it's worth a 10 for the sheer comedy of it but when you vote on a movie that's not supposed to be a comedy you can't give it a 10 for comedy. You have to rate it on what it was supposed to actually be like and not for something the director wasn't intending. Maybe some of you voted 10 cause you thought it would be funny to have this crappy movie have a high rating so that people would go out and rent or buy it cause you think it's fun to mislead people. You're playing with peoples time and money which you have no right to do. If the movie sucked give it a bad rating if it was good give it a good rating but don't lie. I gave this movie a 4 and am glad that I was able to check this out for free from my library cause this movie sucked and really isn't worth paying a cent to see.

Have you ever seen an unintentional comedy, worthy of an oscar?

If you would like to watch an example of how not to make a film, then you need to watch this. I, myself, with no film making experience could do better. The script is laughable with a weak plot and there is no effort to be seen for any intelligent structure. In order to make up for this flaw, you would think the action would be decent, wouldn't you?
As the acting, editing and overall piecing together of the film is appalling the only saving grace is the dreadful performance by the lead actor. The reason why he is the saving grace, is because he is so genuinely bad at acting, that he should win an Oscar for it. At least some recognition for making me laugh at him so much.
Toss in a dead woman's body after an all male shoot out (where did she come from?), pull the semi automatic trigger tens of times while the soundman pulls off two gunshot effects, reflection of the camera crew in Kool Mo Dee's shades, one and only ONE music track for the WHOLE film, an unoriginal script that has no logic; is a perfect recipe for a really, really bad film. Its actually more fun spotting the errors than actually trying to find something positive. Avoid at all costs.

Purchased this film for one dollar and figured I could never go wrong, my big mistake was watching it. Enjoyed the acting of Ice-T and the rapping which gave lots of class to this film about Los Angeles and the world of pimps. There is a boxer who kills one of his opponents in a practice ring and who has a career, but because of mental problems from childhood and the killing of this other boxer he retires. He gets hired by a pimp who is looking for a bodyguard to protect the girls that work for him at their trade and make sure they are not beaten up. This boxer falls in love with the boss's girlfriend and all kinds of trouble starts. This is entertaining and it then becomes a big laughing comedy.
Worthless from the beginning

Last night, I got bored and decided to watch a movie called 'out kold' which I had once bought with a whole lot of other cheap movies from a videostore. Seemed like a good old action movie, so I took out the chips and coke and was ready for a relaxing evening. Well, the pain started right from the beginning. The main character is a boxer who is the nicest guy I have ever seen. As the good person he has to be nice of course, but he is just a pussy! That totally doesn't fit with a boxer that has 28 KO's and starts working for a pimp to earn some extra money. Even nice guys can still be cool. Well, then came his first fight while he was working for this pimp. Every punch was clearly missed and that became even more annoying because the sound effect weren't synchronised with the punches. Then there is this totally worthless acting of the whole cast, and you have enough reasons to leave this movie for what it is. I gave it a 1 because I have never seen such a bad movie.

In a world of pimps and gangstas, there's only one way out... Out Kold
When down and out boxer, Slim (Clifford Stubblefield), gets hired to protect gangsta pimp Goldie's (Ice-T, Ablaze, Body Count, New Jack City) prized possession, he soon discovers mixin' business with pleasure can be deadly. Now, the only way to win is to learn to be a player. Caught between Goldie and rival gangsta Blackie (Kool Mo Dee, Storm Trooper, Gang Related), he's got just one chance to land on top before the take him OUT KOLD!
Recently purchased this DVD. Ice-T is good so I figured this one will be just as good as his others.

A Direct To Video Film For the Ages
kingross2133 December 2004
First off, IMDb needs to credit THE MAIN CHARACTER of this film. Down and out boxer, Slim is portrayed by Clifford Stubblefield. I hope Mr. Stubblefield works again! Marlon "Diff'rent" Royce also tears up the screen as Chino the pimp. He also needs more roles. Second off, this movie rules. It has action, humor (intentional & unintentional), romance, and was distributed by the standard of direct to video excellence, YORK ENTERTAINMENT. Whoever gave this movie a brutal review obviously does not enjoy urban cinema, or direct to video movies. The only way it could be better is if other York thespians like Sean Blakemore, Aaron D. Spears, and Charles D. Allen made some guest appearances in this classic. And what a swerve ending!!!
