Summary
The Foot Fist Way is an uproarious, full-contact comedy featuring one of this year's least likely of heroes. Shot in just 19 days on a credit card-financed micro-budget with a cast of mostly newcomers, the film became an overnight smash at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. There, audiences fell madly in love with the seriously self-deluded Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons, who talks a big, macho game but falls to whimpering pieces when his wife Suzie betrays him. Featuring the debut of North Carolina native Jody Hill as writer, director and producer and two hilariously tough-yet-tender performances from co-writers Danny McBride as Fred and Ben Best as Chuck "The Truck,” the film helped Hill, McBride and Best garner a place on Variety's "Ten Comics to Watch” list.Cast and Credits
