 The Big Bad Black Dude of the Streets... He'll bust you up, slam you down and blast you into pieces!
 He's a Streetfighter
Nomination Year: 2009
SYNOPSIS: It's the stirring tale of Fisk, a young black man who started from nothing to become the top street fighter in L.A. Or at least the only one left standing. Along the way, there are double-crossing agents, bloody fights, gangsters, dead girlfriends, drugs, and contracts-on-his-life galore. Another contender for Worst Soundtrack: "L.A. Grey" by Geraldine Kaye. And note that "Martin the Wonderdog" is in the credits. I'm guessing he'll be the best actor. The N-bombs come thick and fast from the first scene!

"Cutting Butter With A Chainsaw"
Getting the Living Crap Beaten into Him
"Boom-Boom" gets smacked down seventeen different ways, including getting his head dunked into a particularly nasty (and full) public toilet. After Fisk works him over (and over and over) he's begging for help from a pisserby (who happens to be an uncredited Edward James Olmos!). But his day's not over yet -- Logan's guy comes in and smacks him around some more (and more).
Crummiest Ending
Now You're Number One on the Street
Ingo was behind it all! Logan. Avon. Fleichman. Fletch. Bea. Fisk kills Ingo. Then goes batfuck nuts and smashes a mirror.
