The Foot Fist Way is a 2008 low-budget comedy film directed by Jody Hill and staring Danny R. McBride. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, has picked up distribution rights to the film and hopes for it to endure a Napoleon Dynamite-like success. It premiered in 2006 at The Los Angeles Film Festival and was screened at Sundance that same year.

In The The Foot Fist Way Danny R. McBride plays the self professed "King of the Demo" Fred Simmons. All is normal until Simmons finds out that his wife has been having an affair with her boss. He then takes his frustration upon anyone that challenges him.

Danny McBride appeared as a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on February 26, 2008 as the character Fred Simmons. Many viewers were not familiar with either the character or the actor and as a result there was initially much speculation as to whether the seemingly disastrous Tae Kwon Do demonstration--during which Simmons asked for a "redo" after a failed block-splitting attempt--and awkward interview--during which he repeatedly lashed out at fellow guest Will Ferrell for dancing around in a sexual nature during his interview segment earlier--were real or staged. Among the only immediate clues to suggest the interview was a setup was when the website for the film was flashed onscreen during the interview.

Variety gave the film a fairly positive review stating that the film is "crying out to be discovered by midnight movie mavens". It currently holds a 65%, "Fresh" rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 31 reviews.

The opponent, Chuck "The Truck" Wallace, is most likely named after two of the greats of competitive martial arts, Chuck Norris and Bill "Superfoot" Wallace
