10 Underrated Movies Starring Wrestlers
9. The Man With The Iron Fists
Dave Bautista is the second most successful former wrestler in Hollywood. Sorry John Cena, come back when you've been in the highest-grossing movie of all time.
Best known for Blade Runner 2049, Spectre, and his many turns as Drax the Destroyer, the former WWE Champion appeared in some very odd movies before embracing the bright lights of conventional cinema.
His fifth credited appearance was in the 2012 martial arts film The Man with the Iron Fists, which was directed by Wu Tang Clan member RZA. The musician also stars in the movie as its hero, the titular iron-fisted man who must unite a group of disparate warriors in order to save his village. Who said rappers had big egos?
Dave plays Brass Body, a baddie who's capable of turning his body to metal at any time. To be honest, it's amazing that this wasn't something Batista could do in real life. Have you seen those traps? They're solid as steel.
Starring alongside names like Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu gave The Animal some serious acting credentials. If you fancy a look at him just before he hit it big with Guardians of the Galaxy, then this is the one for you.
