Member AlbertV Posted May 29, 2009 Member Share Posted May 29, 2009 Saw these two films on Spike TV in the past few months...they are basically TV movies cashing in on the whole MMA craze. Ring of Death (2008) stars Johnny Messner as a man who gets a chance to become a FBI by going undercover in a prison and exposing an illegal fight ring led by warden Stacy Keach. The fights are taken in 'The Pit' and are broadcasted on the Net for the rich people to make bets. Freddy Bouciegues was the fight choreographer on this one and yes, we have the fatal "quick cut close up" mishmash that destroys fight scenes. Then comes Street Warrior (2008) starring Max Martini (sounds like a James Bond spoof name) as a former war vet returning home to learn his brother was involved in an illegal fight ring called "The Gauntlet" and is determined to get himself in the underground fight ring to find out who nearly killed his brother. Same fight choreographer, same bad editing. When is Hollywood ever going to learn how to edit a fight scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jesse Smooth Posted June 1, 2009 Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 Last week, I saw Fighting with a buddy of mine. Typical routine underground fighting stuff. Although the fight scene with Cung Le, hurts just by watching it. The lead, Channing Tatum, will be in the G.I. Joe movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Atherton Posted June 3, 2009 Member Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is Cung Le still the champ? How can he defend his belt if he's off doing movies? Whatever he chooses, I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
