Accurate BJJ in this

Some of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I've seen in a movie, that last triangle transition was nice as well as posturing in guard.

during the scene where Pon (?) and the mean chick are fighting, the subs in the version i saw had screaming DIE! DIE! DIE! while they were leg locking each other. Pretty sure no one has ever died from a heel hook... :P

also, i felt this was at least as representative of japanese jiu jitsu as BJJ. I mean there was guard work, quite a lot, but there were also a lot of standing subs and throws that you dont really see in BJJ too much.

Japanese Jiu jitsu is an umbrella term it could mean anything, I didn't see anything that wasn't BJJ, the director is a BJJ purple belt.
