[edit | edit source]Filming
[edit | edit source]In her memoir, The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide, Fischer states she was paid approximately $300 for her role in the film. She said the film was "basically the same plot as The Karate Kid, except instead of karate he did motocross". Fischer had been acting professionally for three years upon the release of Born Champion, and it was her first widely distributed feature film role.[3]
