Based on Charles Willeford's 1962 novel of the same name. "Cockfighter" is Warren Oates and Monte Hellman's finest collaboration. Frank Mansfield (Warren Oates) is obsessed with cockfigthing. He has taken a vow of silence until he wins the 'Cockfighter of the Year' medal and regains his lost reputation. The reason for his silence is simple, Frank used to be a drunk and a loudmouth who lost everything he owned (including his girlfriend) to his gambling pal Jack Burke (Harry Dean Stanton). This movie isn't for the faint of heart, the cockfighting scenes are mostly real and many animal lovers won't be able to stomach it. For those of us who do though, this is an amazing movie. Warren Oates is spectacular in it, and it's amazing how much authenticity and depth he brings to the role without speaking much at all. This is a strangely beautiful film and a treasure chest for lovers of 70s cinema and Warren Oates. One of my personal favorites!

Warren Oates stars as a champion cockfighter who lost out on winning a championship medal because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He vows not to speak again until he wins the medal. This flick is well-known as one of the only films that Roger Corman produced that failed to make any money. Although it's really a great film, you can see why it didn't exactly set the exploitation circuit on fire. The only real exploitation angle that the film has going is cockfighting ... and there's a lot of it and it's real. Corman seems to have dropped his sure fire formula of including some violence, nudity or some other angle to appeal to the punters. What you do get here is a really classy bit of American existentialism, the kind that Hellman excels at, with a very strong wordless lead from Oates, and able supporting turns from Harry Dean Stanton, Steve Railsback and a very young Ed Begley, Jr. If you can stomach lots of birds trying to kill each other and succeeding quite often, it's a real gem.

It's like this thing was genetically designed tom appeal specifically to me. Warren Oates is outstanding. The hundreds of chickens killed during filming is a small price to pay for such awesomeness.

Cockfighting trainer takes a vow of silence in attempt to rebuild his career after loose talk costs him his prized cock in a late-night hotel match. Another gem from Monte Hellman featuring the great Warren Oates in a rare lead role, showcasing the sport's subculture. Cockfighting scenes are rather unpleasant, however, to anyone advocating animal's rights.

This is a blood and guts art film with unforgettable intensity and stark scenes that few films have managed to capture with such fervor.
