The premise

Here’s the bit.

Framed as a trailer for an action sequel to the Oscar-winning drama My Left Foot, this In Living Color parody opens with Jim Carrey's Christy Brown painting on his bed before a narrator announces that he is now Ireland's kickboxing champion. At the local pub Christy declines another drink because he is driving his wheelbarrow, then steps in when a local tough harasses a woman. Backed by his Belgian brother, Jean-Claude Van Damme, who wheels him around and passes him improvised weapons, Christy takes on the bar's regulars using only his left foot, flailing and grimacing as the brawl spills across the room, before signing off with satisfaction at a good scrap.

Highly quotable.

Not tonight, Reg. I'm wheeling.

Van Damme, brass knuckles!

I love a good fight.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

My Left Foot, the 1989 film about Irish painter and writer Christy Brown, won Daniel Day-Lewis the Academy Award for Best Actor; this parody aired two years later.
