England games should work fine, such as Australia and Europe use the PAL region games.

Kid Galahad $7.10 Elvis Presley tries on boxing gloves for Kid Galahad, one of his post-Army pictures that still has some fresh air and innocence in it.

Naturally the kid turns out to have talent with the gloves, and a gamblers/mobsters/boxing formula so…

The Hammer $2.96 No, The Hammer is not the Fred Williamson story, but a surprisingly satisfying underdog sports movie and date movie; an unlikely genre combination, but The Hammer nails it.
