Never Back down, Best MMA movie ever.

[Pem123]

it's one of my personal favorite martial art movies, and i think it's best mma movie ever (warrior is close though)

a lot of complain about the movie comes from the fact that the movie is like Karate kid for MMA, but i actually like that part.

fight scene is really solid ( got mtv movie award for best fight scenes), the cast performance is strong and the targeted audience ( young mma or action movie fans) will most likely love this movies.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Its pretty good

 

[Damien Karras]

Should have been presented at Cannes in my opinion.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Ban imo

It was good. But I think Here Comes the Boom takes the cake. Sure it's a B level comedy but it was damn good.

They got the MMA right. It didn't look overly choreographed. Everything was gritty and sloppy just like a real fight. You can tell Kevin was doing real drills and becoming a real fighter through the film and not just doing pretty nonsense.

I like Never back down but that's where it falls short. The fights were too clean, and pretty with flashy moves. It didn't capture MMA in the same way as a comedy.

When I watched HCTB in theater I was actually damn near standing up shadowboxing. Even the scene with them slipping in a wet outdoor cage reminded me of real event I was at. It was so real at times I forgot it was a comedy.

When that kid says “Vale Toe-doe!” I think it might have been one of the best line deliveries in modern cinema.

TS obviously never watched this classic.

Warrior was better.

 

[Pem123]

and the theme song too !!!!!

Warrior was better.

it's pretty close, but the action in Never Back Down i thinks is a bit better, therefore for me it is a bit better.

i really enjoy warrior though, one of the best action movies.

It's like if you combined High School Musical with the original Fast & the Furious movies. Still way better than that sack of shit Warrior.

 

[An Uncertain Choice]

TS obviously never watched this classic.

How in the fuck did they manage to get Michael rooker to star in this cinematic gem

 

[SFMMA]

I’m not sure if you’re serious, but that was one of the worst pieces of dog shit to ever grace the screen. TS definitely a Team Alpha Male fan.

 

[Madmick]

Might as well introduce the other major contender to the thread:

 

[Jack Stevonovich]

and the theme song too !!!!!

 

[Which Doctor]

 

[Threetrees]

The Capoeiria guy was the GOAT

 

[Blowing Dixie]

Warrior is the only good MMA movie.

 

[tobiaswins]

That movie was terrible imo. Warrior was pretty good and Redbelt had its moments but to be honest I’ve yet to see a good MMA film.

 

[Problem Child]

That high school life was top notch in that movie.
