TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It doesn't get any funnier than this show. Produced on a budget that wouldn't buy a happy meal from Macca's, this is the most original and hilarious thing I have seen in ages. Violent? Yes. Satirical? Yes. Funny? As. The first series is a satirical take on extreme sports, among other things. The second series is a different animal again, surreal comedy grounded in tatty realism with a healthy dose of full-on digital effects. Do yourself a favor and if you haven't seen it, you unworthy mortal, then do so immediately, and you too may be inspired to earn "Full Fist", and the respect of your peers. This show defies categorization, except to say it's bogglingly funny and "Fistworthy" in the extreme. "Full Fist" from me.

There are shows in the world that are unique to their country of origin. You watch "Yes Minister" & know that's uniquely English. You watch "Friends" & know that it's uniquely American."Double The Fist" is not only uniquely Australian, it's just simply UNIQUE with some of the most off-the-wall humour ever made. Made on an embarrassingly small budget, everything about the show works in the way intended. Each episode follows a basic guideline of the crew having thought of something completely absurd, then The Womp, Rodd Foxx, Tina T & Mephisto interact even more absurdly (& usually violently) with the idea (with Steve Foxx commentating along the way) until most things are destroyed in random acts of violence while earning "Fist".The show quite rightly won the 2004 AFI award for Best Comedy Series. Here's hoping Series 2 can maintain the impetus generated 3 years ago.Highly recommended if you don't mind cheap production & absurdity mixed into a very unique blend.

an absolute cracker of a show it's a crack up and one of the most original and bloody funny shows i've ever watched an absolute ripper if you haven't seen it you're not fistworthy, the blokes behind the shows are legends.Ever episode was a corker and the special effects make it a one of a kind show, it's great to see some Aussies making high quality original funny shows again, about time and in the ever growing world of reality (bloody boring) television we need shows like double the fist to bring some laughs and actual entertainment back to Australian television. great to see ugly dave in an episode you should have Chad Morgan in an episode he's a funny bloke.and don't get the credit they deserve, now that foxtel's showing it heaps more people have discovered the power of fist. they should make a a fist movie or another series would be tops.full fist!

"Double the Fist" is without a doubt the single best Australian TV show ever made. True, compared to Australian TV in general that's not much of an achievement, but still. A clever, full-on, fast-paced social satire that mocks popular culture, it is one of the most original TV series in recent years.The ABC should be ashamed of themselves for canceling this brilliant piece of Australian television. This series is the true underdog story. It was rejected by every channel except ABC, but only on the condition that it be shown 11:30pm Friday nights. Depite this drawback, not only did it became a cult sensation, but at the very next AFI awards (Australian Film Institute, an awards night voted by judges rather than the public), Double the Fist won the award for best Australian Comedy, sitcom or sketch, beating the favourite "Kath & Kim". To get an idea of what the show is like, think of it as a cross between "Jackass" and "The Goodies". Primarily the show is a spoof of shows like Jackass; where those shows do things that will injure and/or humiliate an individual, the Fist Team do things that would obviously kill them. Tackling subjects ranging from Reality Television, to protesting, to sport, to Terrorism, this show is thought-provoking and a laugh riot. Next time you get a chance, check it out. If you do love the show (and how could you not), then sign this petition I made to bring the show back:http://www.petitiononline.com/FullFist/petition.html Signers will automatically receive the FULL FIST! Even the Fist Team have signed it!And remember, DOUBLE THE FIST! AAAARRGGGHHH!
