Black and white motion picture documenting one of the most overated fighters of all time.

If i met Robert De Niro id ask him to play a role where he isint Robert De Niro doing what Robert De Niro always does ie sneer at the camera with a dramatic pause .

your an idiot. de niro is probably the best actor of our era mate.
he had to put on crazy amounts of weight to play the fat la mota. and he had to live like a fighter to play young lamota. he had amature fights to get into the role properly. he actually worked as a new york cab driver for some weeks ot prepare for taxi driver. he had his teeth filed down to almost fangs to look creepy in cape fear. bobby deniro is a legend.
any any fighter that manages to beat sugar ray robbinson in his prime is hardly over rated mate.
