Charlie Day and Ice Cube go to war in new trailer for Fist Fight

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

While the frequency of their occurrence varies from school to school, most of us who attended (or are attending) high-school have either witnessed or participated in an after school fight. That said, I doubt many of us have seen two of our teachers battle it out on the parking lot after school. If you've ever wanted to witness such a brawl, the upcoming FIST FIGHT has your back. Starring Charlie Day and Ice Cube, FIST FIGHT's premise is awfully simple but loaded with the potential for laughs. After Andy Campbell (Charlie Day) accidentally crosses Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), his much tougher and deeply feared colleague challenges him to an old-fashioned throw down after school. The latest FIST FIGHT trailer certainly looks promising and, for me, was totally worth it just to see Charlie Day dragged down the hallway by a horse.

"This shit is violent! I look like a Minion!"

The official synopsis for FIST FIGHT:

On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line.  But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school.  News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.

FIST FIGHT will burst into theaters on February 17, 2017.
