Media Are you going to watch 'The Smashing Machine' - Starring Dwayne Johnson?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Thought I'd ask in this forum, because it's specifically about MMA and Mark Kerr.

It has an 8.7/10 out 10K votes on IMDB, looks highly promising.

Release date October 3rd.

I think The Rock will get his first oscar nomination in his career.

And I believe the first ever WWE wrestler to get an acting Oscar nomination.

 

[Haj01]

Yes i will watch it.

Love that era of mma.

[joy2day]

Yep, looks good.

That's good, should be a very intriguing film.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I will watch a 100% legal version of it one day

 

[Deceasedxo]

eventually, but probably won't get round to it this year.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Is it already on Max or Prime?

 

[don't ask]

I may stream it one day. I have zero interest in anything the Rock is in after Black Adam and the Fast and Furious movies.

lol it's hard to believe he could be a decent actor after all.

 

[Ares Black]

Of course

 

[Lee Danger]

 

[Otto!]

Definitely. I love everything about that era. To me the choice of actor is secondary to the story in this particular case.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Tim Curry is an outstanding actor. It's too bad he suffered a severe stroke.

 

[xhaydenx]

Maybe one day.

I've never seen Kerr fight. Think I started watching MMA just a little bit after he stopped, so he means nothing to me lol.

lol Well you can always see recorded film of his fights. Are you fan of Royce Gracie or Ken Shamrock?

 

[don't ask]

I imagine that an industry full of nepo babies, removed from the hardships they have to portray on screen, rely heavily on their acting coaches. Every now and then a story sneaks out of an actor being unable to cut it, even with the help of their acting coach, and it makes me laugh.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

The rock sucks, I don’t want to watch that guy in anything.

Plus, Mark Kerr? Really? There are plenty of other MMA fighters with way more interesting stories than Mark Kerr they could have done a movie like that on.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

A MMA period piece? About Mark Kerr's time in PRIDE? Everyone should watch

 

[ninja boot]

Its really tough to assume how well this movie does.
The Rock is huge for many people and they'll be excited to see him preform in an mma role. However, I am not this type of person and kind of left those movies behind after JCVD put on the performance of a lifetime dance-fighting at a bar in Kickboxer and then going on to destroy Tong Po.
