GRR, MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!
03.07.08IESB today has this and more video interviews with the cast of Never Back Down - a movie that hopes to be The Fast and the Furious of MMA (trailer here). I was most interested in their talk with the star, Sean Faris. His character, as you’ll remember from the film’s original synopsis, "is a a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart."
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the talk-about-your-character-as-if-he’s-a-real-person portion of the interview, but sadly, mostly they just discuss the mma training.
"I’m trying to stick with it. I better – once this movie comes out, God knows how many people are gonna wanna fight me."
Yeah, probably anyone who pays for a ticket. But he trained mma for eight weeks, he should be able to handle a couple teenagers from Arizona. [Editor's Note - that's a burn]

Would he beat Paul Walker in a fight? There’s only one way to find out…
Vin Deisel can referee.
Thank God Jessica Alba aint in this….
Actually, Kimbo Slice is Sean Faris’ identical twin brother. It’s just that when he fights, they use a different lighting that makes him look like a homeless gorilla.
This is like the Dawson’s Creek of MMA. I am going to go beat a truck driver to try to even out the manliness score in the universe!
(Lucky for me, my company has a driver out on work comp with a broken hip! PLUS s/he is a tranny!!! {I swear to God})
A broken hip, tranny trucker Fek? I hear a country song coming on!
God knows how many people are gonna wanna fight me.
I don’t think your extensive MMA training is going to help you when I beat the shit out of you with a Louisville Slugger.
Fek’lhr I can imagine how you broke his/her hip…
You ran him/her over with a forklift?!
(Or was it the gay sex thing?)
AH’LL CAWLTON FISK YA TO DE FAWKIN SKULL WITH A LEWIS-VILLE FAKKIN SLUGGUH!
bryce-A little bit of both.
I like to think that’s what Lance would look like when he fights Uwe Boll.
Signed,
Bunsy
*cocks both gun-fingers and winks*
I like your style, Fek.
If He works up the nerve, he will tell you all some "broken-hip-tranny-truck-driver" stories later. We can call shim "Dakota" for short.
Fek, have you ever been cited for sexual hisassment?
Cited? No…
To all the threads I’ve Durst before…
TOMMY NO!
For fun, on the weekends i dress up as Betty Grable, drive out to military bases, kiss soldiers, and then show them my penis. i kick more ass than the Taliban.
Pop it, Pop it Tommy, POP IT!
The Mighty Fek’lhr is sure Kurg is NOT exaggerating.
Hey, where’s Tommy? Someone find Tommy We’re out on the road
Tommy can you hear me?
This film is only The O.C. of MMA if it includes several rear naked chokes.
Personally I’d like to see The Partridge Family of MMA. In the pilot Keith submits Rueben Kincade via kimura for booking them at a Shriners convention on prom night.
I don’t know about this Tommy fellow, but I have a good idea who Johnny is…

"Did Tommy just sell a MILLION brake pads?!?! TOMMY DID IT!!! HE SAVED THE
REC CENTERFACTORY!!"God rest Chris Penn’s tubby soul.
For the longest time I thought James Spader was a badass. Then I watched Best of the Best again after 5 years and realized my error.
Is MMA karate for mulattos? Halle Barry vs Nicole Richie. Fight!
Has Vin Diesel been in anything good since Pitch Black? I’m drawing a blank
He was ok in Boiler Room because he had almost no screen time. Is that how you spell screen? It looks weird.
I thought Boiler Room was pretty good. His career apexed in Saving Private Ryan. When he died. I thought he died way better than any of the extras from the Omaha beach scene. On screen. It does look weird.
I love boiler room. Not because of V-inthe closet Diesel though
He was actually moderately funny in Find Me Guilty. Don’t take that the wrong way. He still sucks and so does the movie. But he was nonetheless, moderately funny.
Vin Diesel was in The Pacifier starring alongside a duck. The sexual tension was palpable.
My uncle was a MMA fighter when I was a kid, but for some reason he didn’t want my parents to know. I used to help him practice in his basement.
Vin Dicksel was in Private Ryan? Fuck I musta been stoned outta my gourd when I saw that cuz I don’t remember him at all.
Thank you JHC for having a fucking clue what movie I was quoting.
OK, so Dakota. The first thing you have to realize about Dakota is that s/he is a post op tranny (male to female). I don’t know why s/he bothered with the surgery, s/he is about as feminine as a battle axe, and she looks like Lurch wearing lipstick, earrings, and a pink head-band.
I made this visual aide to help:

For all intents and purposes, this is Dakota (well, minus shis greasy jeans, work boots, and flannel shirt).
Luch-I thought you meant that little Barbarian Kid from the D&D cartoon?
Fek, I am so turned on right now.
Luch, I thought you were doing that hilarious Mike Myers impersonation of Streisand.
Yeah erswi. He was the requisite Italian from Brooklyn character. Barry Pepper was the Southern sharpshooter cuz all they do is hunt coons and whatnot. Personally I liked the smarmy Jew. The part when the German stabs him I mean.
Vin Diesel was the pussy who got sniped and fell on the piano in SPR
Nothing beats Sam the bartender mowing down Nazis in that movie. Nothing, I tell you.
Racoons you deviants.
I like the part where a whole bunch of guys get killed to save one guy. LOL. Screenwriters are funny.
GRRR . . . New Post!
Hell yeah, MMA is all about skinny rich teenagers. I’m glad they truly captured the spirit of it. What would have been awkward is if they had invited an actual MMA fighter to their little party.
Definitely The Oc of MMA, since that asshole with the shaved head was a cast member seasons 3 and 4…
not that I watched or anything :-/
GRRRR…FLAME DECALS!!
I don’t know what y’all are talking about. This ain’t the OC of this or the Fast and the Furious of that. This is the Karate Kid of OUR generation! And Sean Faris is the Ralph Machio of our time.
Show me “Sand the floor”!
Shouldn’t there be break dancing in this movie. I swear I remember this movie with break dancing.
