"Body Slam" is a song that was recorded by Bootsy's Rubber Band. It was released in 1982 by Warner Bros. Records. The song was never featured on any of Bootsy Collins' albums until the 1994 release of the compilation Back in the Day: The Best of Bootsy. The song is a reconstruction of the track "Countracula (This One's For You)" from the album The One Giveth, the Count Taketh Away. The single reached number 12 in Billboard Magazine's Black Singles charts. The b-side of "Body Slam" was "I'd Rather Be With You".
Body Slam is a 1987 American comedy film directed by Hal Needham, starring Dirk Benedict, Roddy Piper, Tanya Roberts, Sam Fatu and Captain Lou Albano. The film revolves around a down-and-out music promoter who inadvertently becomes a successful professional wrestling manager. After being exiled from the business by a rival manager, he finds success in promoting shows that feature both wrestling and rock music. The film features many well-known wrestlers of the time and references the Rock 'n' Wrestling era of professional wrestling.
Hal Needham, who had previously directed the successful Smokey and the Bandit films, had arguments with the pair that produced and wrote the film regarding his changes to the script, resulting in lawsuits that delayed the film's release. As a result, the film was never theatrically released and was instead released direct-to-video. It was Needham's final film.
