Malaipet


So Malaipet is in the trailer and the production photos and on the poster but hes not listed in the cast. um, why not? was he cut out of the film or what? I mean I would think being world IKBA and IKKC champion, among others, would be enough to be listed in the friggin credits of the film. Can anyone from production shed some light on the subject. Is it because he has no lines in the movie or something?

reply

wasn´t malaipet supposed to play a fighter role in jean-claude van damme´s new martial arts movie KUMITE?

reply

He's credited in the end movie credits. Your exactly right about not having any lines in the movie. We are well aware of his talents, thats precisely why he is in the opening fight scene. The poster art was designed with his picture out of pure luck, we say the photo and wanted to use it because of its tough look. Hope that helps.

Thank you it helps somewhat. Malaipet is a great fighter and a great guy as well. Still wished his name could have been on the poster. I do not think you could have found a better or more authentic looking model to make that poster any better. Malaipet made the poster look great!!!!
