The King of Fighters
Ok, here's the breakdown of my unknown movie.
It's a early to mid-90's martial arts flick that came on a few dozen times on HBO back when they had these MA flicks specified time block on there line up. It was kinda low-budget, American made joint about this young white guy who's older brother was an underground street fighter who got killed by some mystery fighter. So he comes to the city (which I believe was either Detroit or NY) and he's trying to find his brother's killer. He hears that he was killed by another underground fighter, except that it wasn't even during an official fight, but behind the scenes or some shyt and there wasn't really any witnesses.
The guy starts asking around the fight scene and I think he gets his ass beat initially, but this fat black guy (not really huge, more like a Forest Whittaker body type) takes him under his wing to train him so he can win at the underground fight scene. At a few points in his training regime, the black trainer has the white duke running against the city bus and the first few times he can't keep up, but of course he later beats the bus, which I believe his trainer figures that means he's now ready to tackle the fight scene.
Another notable character the white kid meets is this slick haired greaser looking muscular fighter that he somewhat befriends and this guy sometimes fights dirty, as in one fight his in, he eats a raw onion before fighting and during the fight, he breathes his onion breath on his opponent to distract him for the win, lol! I think this guy eventually either loses and/or gets killed too.
So anyways, the main duke ends up winning the fight scene circuit and is celebrating with his trainer and the either go off somewhere alone in some back alley or they stuck around where the fights were held in the alley after everyone else was gone. The black trainer ends up telling duke that he knows who killed his brother and that he was the killer, and that he was now going to kill him, so they start battling of course. The black duke ends up being much more of a fighter than you'd think a guy his size would be, as there's a few Van Damme-ish slow mo aerial spin kicks they have him doing against the white boy. Of course tho, the white boy ends up beating/killing him at the end and the movie ends shortly afterwards.
Anyone got a ideas of this? I can't think of any noticeable actor/martial artists that were in this movie, so it makes it even harder to look up, but if I saw a brief vid of it, I think I'd know of it was the right movie.
