As previously reported, Pride and Glory director Gavin O’Connor was having trouble getting his movie released, and was threatening to hold up Warriors, an MMA movie he was developing. Today, Pride and Glory finally has a release date, and Warriors, originally slated for New Line, is moving forward with Lionsgate. I know, I’m as relieved as you are.
[Warriors is] a mixed-martial-arts saga about two estranged brothers on a collision course to fight in a tournament for the heavyweight championship.
…The helmer credited New Line head Toby Emmerich with being "gracious enough to let it go" to Lionsgate.
I bet he even pretended to hold back tears, like I do with skanks when they finally find a ride back to their house the next morning. Elementary school chicks are so gullible. Yet so sexy.
O’Connor conceived the drama as a potential trilogy, and Lionsgate will also be involved in a mixed-martial-arts tournament dubbed Sparta that will be launched in connection with the movie.
O’Connor has partnered in the 16-man grand prix tourney project with UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, who will play himself in the film. [Variety]
Every MMA league except the UFC is currently in bankruptcy or hemorrhaging money, but I’m sure the company that gave us Witless Protection are just the ones to make it work. I mean, it is called Sparta. This. Is. Sparta. OMG, that could totally be their slogan, LOL! Still, many fear that this is yet another setback for Gun Kata.

As the president of the Michael Dudikoff fanclub, this just makes me sick.
Warriors was better when it was Coney Island gang members.
American Fuckin’ Ninja was awesome Burnsy. I don’t care what anyone says.
Do the retards approve of this movie?
All B.S. aside, Couture was a guest star on CBS’s The Unit last year as a CIA agent. I didn’t think he did that bad.
Commence with the Randy Couture is a Unit/Dick jokes.
Couure is Haute.
I swear I typed the t. Uprrrrrrrooooxxxxxx!
I think the left side of his face looks like Britney Spears vagina is melting.
Come on people. These COTWs aren’t going to nominate themselves.
I liked Randy Couture better when he was an everyman’s middle aged badass living the dream and not the Scorpion King.
Fek, wherever you are, next time you’re in One Eyed Jake’s…order a testicle shot and give a cheers to the chick that created it. You won’t be sorry.
Do you think during sex, UFC fighters slip into attack mode then put the women (or men…most likely men) into armbars and shit? Screaming for them to submit whilst pounding the anus.
Also, how bad does Scorpion King 2 have to be to have the Rock read the script and be all, "No thanks, I think I’ll pass." And how far down the line is Randy Couture? John Cena was busy with Marine 2, Randy Savage was busy being old, Hulk Hogan had American Gladiators, they even tried Captain Lou Albano but I think he was dead (even so he said he had other shit to do.).
Gay Pride and Glory Hole is more like it.
New Up!
Georges St. Pierre is currently starring in A Walk To Remember 2.
Plot synopsis for Scorpion King 3 –
Mad that he is braindead and impotent after years of wrestling and gauge films, the Scorpion King rents the third season of Prison Breakon DVD and tries to pleasure himself. The resulting friction burn on his scrotum leads him on an unforgettable trip to the pharmacy for aloe gel and more frozen bons bons.
