Most everyone has witnessed fights break out while in school, but teachers are supposed to potentially keep the peace. However, thats not the case in the forthcoming Fist Fight, where teachers played by Ice Cube and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphias Charlie Day gear up to kick each others asses in whats built up in the trailer to be an epic battle at the school where they both teach.
Ali vs. Frazier, 2Pac vs. Biggie, Batman vs. Superman flash across the screen in the trailer clip. Thats clearly hyperbole judging from the video, which emphasizes comedy over any trained brawn or long-built tension with world-threatening repercussions.
Still, Ice Cubes character Ron Strickland is ready to throw down with Days Andy Campbell on the last day of class when Campbell accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, as the videos description details. Days character seems rather meek and woefully unprepared for the endeavor.
Im gonna fight you, Ice Cubes Strickland threatens. Parking lot, after school. Its on. With those menacing words, Days Campbell sets out to prepare, but his fight day advisers dont seem to be too encouraging. Tracy Morgans character doesnt find the way Campbell forms a fist very impressive. Meanwhile, Campbell is also told that maybe hed be better off playing dead like a possum or anything thats, like, a pussy animal.
The film also stars Jillian Bell, Dean Norris, Christina Hendricks, Dennis Haysbert and JoAnna Garcia Swisher.
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphias Richie Keen directs the film, which hits theaters on February 17th.
