Holy F--- this movie is terrible


Huge MMA fan, finally watched this.

It's amazing how horrible it is!

It's like the worst cliches rolled into one film, with absolutely zero self awareness.

This is like a guy wearing acid washed jeans, with a mullet, and motorcycle gloves, and just thinking he is the shit.

It is beyond terrible.

That is all

Eh...i liked it well enough

I can imagine it being a disappointment for a fighting fan. But it's probably one of Kevin James's least terrible movies.

picking out kevin james least terrible movie is like picking out which turd is the least terrible smelling one. some might be more crusty and dried out than others but they all still have that terrible shit smell

You probably expected too much from it. This is a comedy, and I thought it was rather decent for a day when you're bored and need a movie to make me laugh a bit.

reply

Honestly, I only expected exactly what you describe. A decent popcorn comedy for a lazy afternoon. I found it surprisingly horrendously below that level! Bas Rutten was great though, silver lining.

Ah man, I had successfully completely forgotten this movie existed. But here it is top of the trending topics.

I enjoy this movie as mma fan.

Bas rutten is always funny.

And all the small jokes only mma fans would know were nice.

During the last fight I thing Rogan yells they are going at it like don Frye and takiyama

reply

So did I. The movie wasn't really directed at MMA fans, but it did have Bas and his character was great. Another MMA insider reference - Bas referenced liver shots, his signature move.
