Member sifu iron perm Posted April 7, 2018 Member Share Posted April 7, 2018 I saw part of this movie maybe 7-8 years ago, all i can remeber is some underground tournament in a dungeon type setting. A fighter squares off against a beast or some part human part beast.? The beast thing kills the fighter and savagely rips him apart. Another scene i recall is the friend (a black guy..don't think its michael jai white, unsure?)of the fighter who got muelled to death enters the tournmanet to take revenge. sorry for the lack of details.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted April 7, 2018 Member Share Posted April 7, 2018 At first I thought you might be describing a scene from Brotherhood of the Wolf, but that's not a tournament film and Mark Dacascos is easily recognizable. A few questions for you @sifu iron perm: Was this a period piece? I ask because of the impression I'm getting. Did you happen to catch to the release year? Was there no one you could identify or have ever seen in another film? I recently got Metal Hurlant Chronicles which came out in 2012 and features Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins, and Darren Shahlavi. It's a sci-fi/fantasy series that has some tournament style fighting in it. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, so I don't know if there's some freaky half man/half beast in it. Maybe you caught some of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted April 7, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2018 More questions - what country do you think it was from, or at least region? Was it a US production, Asian, European? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member slinky#1 Posted April 8, 2018 Member Share Posted April 8, 2018 Sounds like Arena(1989). Sounds alittle different though because this is in space and aliens(no black guy), so not sure. 2011 was another Arena movie with Samuel L Jackson. There were a few other alien ones too. Was this new at the time or did it date back like Arena did? Also there might have been a few not quite 7 or 8 years ago that might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched the first Arena movie recently, and I don't think it's that movie personally. However, I've never watched any of the sequels, it could be one of those?. Never even knew about the sequels, before reading your post @slinky#1. Being thinking about @sifu iron perm post, and I honestly don't know what movie it is.

Actually I think he meant and this is true, there was another movie called Arena that had both Samuel L. Jackson and Kellan Lutz (who played the underground fighter) that came out in 2011. It was OTT at times...fights were okay for what they were...had to do if I remember right with something involving fighting for the online universe and Jackson was the mastermind behind it.

'Beast' came out just a couple of years ago, & @sifu iron perm said he watched it 7-8 years ago. It was supposed to be a crowd-funded movie helmed by one time Sammo Hung protege Bobby Samuels, but it fell considerably short of its goal, & was eventually released as a (very) low budget short film at some point last year, noticeably lacking any of the promised cast members like Lo Meng & Chang Shan. Most infamously, it won the Best Action Movie award at the 2016 Urban Action Showcase (which Samuels was involved in)...despite it not even being finished. There's a dedicated thread here, but most of the posts covering its latter stage problems & eventual release were lost in the forum black out - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
