the price fight wasn't good enough


Price was suppose to be this amazing fighter and he lost quick.

The thing is Price was just starting to get the better of the fight when he hit Bone and then took his shirt off, and then he lose the fight in 30 seconds ? what the hell ?

the fight was way too short

Hi, Loco

I must say, i think you did a great job choreographing the fight scenes in this film. You are a pretty good choreographer in my opinion.

Wow I thought the "Price fight" was perfect. You could see both guys sizing each other up in the beginning, both of them threw a few strikes that didn't even land, and eventually Bone took him down with better execution. I thought it was one of the more realistic fight scenes in recent memory and took just the right amount of time. I actually thought a couple of the other fights in the movie should have been just a little bit longer.

Sure a good long fight scene is fun sometimes, but its not realistic. In this movie, they go for realistic, with lots of blood and knock off victory. I really like Never Back Down, but honestly i don't think somebody could sand that long with all the hits the hero take at the end and eventually win. The fight was good but not realistic.

The funny thing maybe is that compare to Hammer Man that looks like an incredible hulk, price is actually ordinary, he is a good fighter, but not big, not asian kung fu style or anything...

I liked the price fight as the ending when Bone kinda pulled out was very original for a B-movie, any other random movie the protagonist woulda kicked the arse out of that opponent

so what your saying jjlocoperry is that if you have a low budget then you should do the audience a diservice with a short concluding fight? Question did bloodsport have a big budget? no and van damme vs Bolo was classic so STFU!

Price was overconfident and didn't take his opponent seriously. He quickly learned that his opponent was very skilled, but it was too late to regain his composure and develop any kind of strategy for how to fight Bone. So the real question is, would a fighter of Price's caliber ever fall victim to his own arrogance in such a high stakes match?

Fights only last a long time when the people in the fight have no finishing power. It only takes a few clean shots from someone with power to end a fight, if anything I would say Price had a pretty good jaw. I liked the fight.

i though the price fight was great, Price was an over hyped fighter and yes his ego got the better of him, but bone was a more technical fighter. This film was written as a sort of spagetti western where the hero (bone) is faster and better than most, Like Clint Eastwood in the dollars movies, he's faster and smarter than the men he come into contact with. Bone is like this type of hero. The other fights were just that, fights. look at the fight under the bridge, with latina, they were just gangsters and brawlers, they didn't stand a chance against bone, hence the reason the fights ended fast. Price was fast but bone was faster.
