Speed Bags goes Hollywood...

Just watched tonights episode of "Boardwalk Empire" There was a scene in a gym where one of the charecters was getting a rubdown, and prodomenently in the background was a large gold colored striking bag. Couldn't see any markings but definitely old school.

I was just watching The Dirty Dozen. Haven't seen it in years....Got a scene with Charles Bronson doing some bagging towards the beginning of the movie.

Anyone remember a movie from '92 with Cuba Gooding Jr, Robert Loggia, Brian Dennehy, and Ossie Davis called "Gladiator"? A couple of speed bag scenes there. Brian Dennehy at his best, when he's sinister and conniving.

I often take a ***** bag and cut it up and re-stitch it. I make it the shape of a pear. Then i put some laces at the top side and leave an opening. I then put a balloon inside and blow it up.
Then, and then only, do I call it a true ***** Bag!
***** BAG ON!

LMAO i would'nt swap my Fighting sports for a ***** in a million years!!

Night and The City - the remake with Deniro http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105001/
- speedbag makes several appearances.

De Niro seems to like the speed bag for it is in several movies with him. Another reason he is a class actor!

Do commercials count? There was a Chili's spot that had a pro boxer (James Toney?) bagging the babyribs song...anybody remember it? I was trying to find it on youtube but no luck.

"The Dead Pool" with Clint Eastwood. For some early stuff catch "Pittsburgh" with John Wayne and Randolph Scott. Early on in that film there is a scene were they attend a exhibition bout and an old school striking bag with a vaudeville style free standing platform is demonstated.

Three movies that come to mind are:

The Hurricane
The Raging Bull
and Requiem for a Heavywieght

I don't remember if there are any speed bag scenes in these movies, but I thought I'd list them to see if anyone remembers a SB scene in any of them.

I don't. Remember a film from the seventies called "WATERMELON MAN"? with the late Godfrey Cambridge? The opening scene has him hitting a speed bag.

there's also a clip in the Marvel movie Daredevil. That's where i first saw the speed bag. (than of course the rocky movies!)

I totally forgot about Daredevil!! Oh yeah! There's also a clip of Gizmo trying to hit the bag in Gremlins 2. It's a funny little bit.
