What's the best and worst MMA movie in your opinion?

[Mack Yancy]

I think Never Back Down is 00s popcorn DVD junkfood, but it takes itself just seriously enough to be watched sincerley as well as just a dumb fun time. The performances are all consistently good too. Despite how 2008 this film is, it doesn't really date itself too badly. It's the only MMA movie I've rewatched more than once.



This movie is terrible gold to me. Very few things are as entertaining as Ken Shamrock attempting an acting career. Danny Trejo playing a Cartel villian named 'Max Burrito' taunting how he wants to fuck Ken's wife while motorboating her should be enshrined in the national film registry.

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Best? Bloodsport.

Worst? The rest.

I think Bloodsport counts as a TMA movie, not an MMA movie.

If we're just talking about MMA the sport, with cages and BJJ, then I think Warrior takes it.

It's a shame because Red Belt started out really good, but got a little too ridiculous.

I liked Warrior and Never Backdown was just fun.

Boxing movies are so much better.

Warrior; Redbelt; Never Back Down; Here Comes the Boom

vs.

Rocky (+8 sequels); Raging Bull; Million Dollar Baby; The Fighter; Cinderella Man; Requiem for a Heavyweight; The Great White Hype; Diggstown; The Boxer; Ali; Girlfight; Southpaw; The Hurricane, Undisputed...even freaking Real Steel is better than almost any MMA movie.

Never Back Down was a 2k, corny take on the karate kid. too each their own though.

Warrior is easily the best MMA film to date in every category.

I mean, boxing does have a much more rich history. MMA is literally still in its infancy stages. Cant compare.

3rd Best: Lionheart
4th Best: Death Warrant

Like...how are you guys counting some of these as mma movies???

 

[wh4tttt]

Fearless just from the different disciplines Hou fights against in the tournament.

Still a traditional martial arts flick as a whole.

Worst being the newest mortal kombat entry. There was some MMA'ing for a breif moment in the beginning.

 

[snowbro]

I think Lionheart takes first place.

 

[whocares]

Best: Over the Top

Worst: Mayhem Miller gets drunk and shits in the back of a police cruiser....the sequel. It's not even video, just audio. Low budget trash imo

Make the case to @HARRISON_3 why it's better than Bloodsport.

And say it with some fucking conviction.

Because its an actual MMA movie based on MMA. Bloodsport is a fantasy fight movie which leaned primarily towards underground NHB. Great martial arts flick but technically, i wouldnt classify it as an mma movie.
