Why even make this movie ???
I dont get it..
The only fight movie thats been anything just worth trying to watch since Bloodsport was Blood and Bone (and that movie was thing).. Yeah yeah Never back down was ok also if you like that teenage, buddy / girlfriend type of Fast n Furious stuff.. Personally, im just to old for that.
Blood and Bone was thin but for gods sake this is so hilariously LAME !
The acting is so bad, and the punchlines so cheasy that you´ll crumble your toes..
My god...
Anyway, why the hell do a MMA movie like this. If you want to make a fight movie forget about a plot, and a story, forget about sex and tits if i want to see that stuff i´ll visit redtube or something..
So heres the ABC to you fight-movie-writers..
1. So you want to make a fight movie. Cool, i love fight movies so show me some god damn fighting, and for gods sake, make it realistic. Ever think about why "Saving private Ryan" got an Oscar CUS it was god damn realistic, so realistic people puked! If you dont want to make realistic fight scenes be sure to make Jackie Chan the head role in you movie otherwise it will go bust !
2. Okay, you are making a fight movie, WITH realistic fight scenes but you need a plot, or some storyline. NO you DONT! You dont need your movie-hero to have to rescue a girl, or save a girlfriend, or revenge a fallen comrade... Not all that *beep* this movie is about fighting, so use the storyline from the first ROCKY movie.. Ever think about why that movie grossed so good ? Becourse everyone like the story about the underdog from the poor neighbourhood that makes it big-time. That kind of story gives people HOPE, so nothing melodramatic, just the story of how plain Bob, made it in MMA (or whatever) to the top, of whatever..
3. For gods sake dont use Rampage Jackson or some other guy who can´t act. Use ACTORS, yes they cost a bit of money, but hey, thats the buisiness you´ve chosen here ok ? HIRE ACTORS don´t call Rampage Jackson and ask if he will do it for a T-shirt and a case of Diet Coke.. All great movies has great Actors... So HIRE them, use the bucks they cost, and make a great movie. And don´t use Steven Segal, or Dolph Lundgreen or some wanked out actor that was big in the 80´s that now make their own movies (3-4 a year)... Use some good actors! New actors, tend to surprise positively so go on hunting!
4. Dont cheat me for that "fight-of-a-lifetime" fight in the end of the movie. That is what i have been sitting and watching your otherwise boring movie for the whole time ! Remember Rocky 5 ???? No ?? ME neither, and that is for a very good reason. That movie SUCKED balls ! No real boxing fight in the end, no champ, no nothing, just a god damn bar-fight... So if you do it, do it by the book ! Your movie should end with your hero winning a big fight.
THAT CAN NOT BE SO HARD CAN IT ?`And one last thing. Dont write, produce and star in your own movie. What the hell are you thinking ????? Only Stallone and Eastwood are allowed to do that, you DO NOT get to do that. Hire a star for your movie instead !
