Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJerry Quarry was a heavy weight champion contender in 1967 after Muhammad Ali had been stripped of his title for refusing induction into the military and had an impressive lifetime record of 53-9-4 with 32 KOs. In later years he suffered from dementia pugilistica due to repeated blows to the head and passed away on January 3, 1999.
- GoofsThe kind of metal locker Jeannie was "trapped" in is easily opened from the inside. As the handles were not locked, the latches could have been easily moved on the inside. Also Jeannie could have smoked out through the wide cracks around the doors or through the air vent holes and slots that these lockers all have.
Featured review
Punch drunk
"The Strongest Man in the World" opens with Jeannie being accosted by three punks in a movie theater, Tony able to knock them out with a single punch (with her help, of course). This is witnessed by General Hamilton (Richard X. Slattery), who decides to enter Major Nelson in the NASA boxing tournament. Training under the actual Jerry Quarry, who also goes down from 'One Punch' Nelson, it looks like a shoo-in for Tony to emerge victorious, unaware that Jeannie is responsible for his great strength. When she's accidentally locked in a NASA gym locker, Tony has to survive alone against his bruising opponent. The ring antics make this one memorable.
