If you've ever wanted to see two educators go at it like a couple of pissed off teenagers, FIST FIGHT may just be your cup of tea. Starring Charlie Day and Ice Cube, FIST FIGHT's premise is awfully simple but loaded with the potential for laughs, especially with that stacked cast of hilarious people. 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. With just two weeks and change until we get to see FIST FIGHT for ourselves, a brand new red-band trailer has dropped which doubles down on the strong language and high-school related hijinks.
The official synopsis for FIST FIGHT:
On the last day of the school year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst outrageous senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that are putting his job on the line just as his wife is expecting their second baby. But things go from bad to worse when Campbell crosses the school’s toughest and most feared teacher, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), causing Strickland to be fired. To Campbell’s shock—not to mention utter terror—Strickland responds by challenging him to a fist fight after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire as Campbell takes ever more desperate measures to avoid getting the crap beaten out of him. But if he actually shows up and throws down, it may end up being the very thing this school, and Andy Campbell, needed.
FIST FIGHT is set to hit theaters on February 17, 2017.
