Off Limits is a 1953 American comedy film directed by George Marshall and starring Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney and Marilyn Maxwell.

Hogan's gangster partners persuade him to enlist and keep an eye on the fighter, who is subsequently declared psychologically unfit for the Army.

The bout takes place aboard the USS Iowa at sea, and Hogan becomes so violently seasick the "seconds" work on HIM between rounds and not Tuttle.

When gangsters threaten Hogan that Tuttle had better lose, he takes revenge by destroying what he thinks is their car.

The night of the fight, Hogan escapes from the stockade and ends up broadcasting instructions to Tuttle by walkie-talkie from a saloon across the street.
