Movie tough guy and former soccer tough guy Vinnie Jones, whom you may remember from the “Oy’m da Juggernaut, bitch!” scene in X-Men 3, was arrested in South Dakota recently over an alleged method acting incident.
Police said Jones got into a scuffle at Wiley’s Tavern and suffered cuts on his face from a beer glass.
A police sergeant said Jones apparently charged at Jesse Bickett of Montrose, South Dakota, who hit Jones with the glass.
Bickett, 24, was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault.
One of Bickett’s roommates, Juan Barrera, said they were playing pool when Jones asked to play, then got offended when one of them asked if he was “that guy from X-Men.” Barrera said he was punched by Jones, who is mostly known for his tough guy roles, and countered with one or two of his own.
“He got offended by that, and he started pushing my other friends around. He said he’s been in so many other movies or whatever,” Barrera said.
Authorities said Jones was treated at a hospital, then was charged with simple assault and posted bail Friday morning. [International Herald Tribune]
Jones was supposedly in South Dakota to hunt peasants pheasant. The best part of this whole thing is that Jones was pissed because someone remembered him for a Brett Ratner movie. Keep in mind, Vinnie Jones has also starred in a movie opposite Stone Cold Steve Austin, done voice work on Garfield 2: A Tale of Two Kitties, and will soon be appearing in Not Another Not Another Movie. And yet the mere mention of X3 sent him into a violent rage. I happened to re-watch X3 myself when it was on cable over the weekend and I can see why he was pissed. In other surprising news, at least one Mexican guy lives in South Dakota.
UPDATE: Thanks to a sexy FilmDrunkard from the UK, you can see video of the fight here (UPDATE X2: or above). The Juggernaut got a couple punches in but eventually succumbed to a hip toss from a fat guy. If you think that’s something, you should see him take down a plate of nachos.

South Dakota is Nebraska’s used jimmy hat.
Jones was also in a movie titled ‘The Midnight Meat Train’ which, as it turns out, is not a porno.
Having seen the photo of the guy on the receiving end of Vinnie’s fist, I’m willing to bet his comment included, “mericon.”
South Dakota is so white, it makes Iowa look like the fucking UN building.
Chuck Norris checks his closet for Vinnie before he goes to bed at night
Jones was also in “Gone In 60 Seconds”, which ironically describes my sex life. Actually, that gives me about 50 seconds of cuddle time. Call me ladies!
While it may seem that Deb Bickett is just talking up a big game with “He doesn’t want to run into me”, that’s not really the case. Deb Bickett was the inspiration for Sylvester Stallone’s character in ‘Over The Top’.
I asked Jonathan Silverman “Hey, you’re in that new Beethoven movie: ‘Beethoven’s Big Break’, right?” and he replied “Do you have a dollar I can borrow?”
“Aren’t you the guy from a shitload of movies I never knew existed?”
In other surprising news, at least one Mexican guy lives in South Dakota.
At least until the meat packing plant closes or INS sees this incident come across their “Hotwire”.
*stirs appletini*
Aren’t you the guy from She’s the Man?
FACT: The one and only person He know from South Dakota has to keep their phone number unlisted because their ex stalks them.
When reached for comment, the State of South Dakota said “We’ll take any press we can get. The whole ‘drunken Indian’ thing has pretty much run it’s course”.
Vinnie Jones should change his name to Vinnie Jpwns.

You know, I read this story and I couldn’t help but think, “Needs more fat guy ass crack.”
Fat guy with glass – 1
Vinnie Jones – (Jugger) Naught
The fight actually broke out because Jones rudely assumed he could simply walk up and use the only pool table in South Dakota without proof of residency.
More like JuggerNOT.
More like Jiggawhat?
Dor sho gha! He wants to see the vid so bad. :(
Blob > Juggernaut
Hey Stoney, send me an email. screen_name@hotmail.com
I gots to talk to you about something.
It’s a junk address, so any of you thinking of trying something funny are going to be disappointed.
I just got called sexy.

This happens to Robert DeNiro all the time. People say “Aren’t you the guy from ‘Stanley & Iris’? What’s Jane Fonda really like?” and he goes all “Raging Bull” and “Taxi Driver” on them. Really, he’s a dangerous psychopath but the liberal media covers up all of his murders.
If every newspaper passes on the “Thuggernaut” headline, I’ll be truly surprised.
Hey ack!, if you’re talking to Stoney, try to convince him to get into our FB group. Or at least the Busey thing.
Oh yeah, congrats Donkey and Happy Birfday Fek!
Similar thing happened to Lindsay Lohan in North Dakota. She was shooting pool in a bar with Sam Ronson when a bunch of drunk guys tossed Sam out the window and had their way with LiLo on the pool table. This is either a true story or I’m getting reality and Jodie Foster movies mixed up again.
Hey it happens, ask John Hinckley Jr.
Omission of the “J” was purely accidental, I promise.
Story of my life.
That’s not a Mexican, actually it’s a fat Native American.
Those were some of the reasons I was contacting him, Al.
Thanks for blowing the surprise.
Oh well what were the other reasons, Jack!? Now we all want to know.
BTK, he’s married, and I don’t think you’re his type anyway.
My favorite part of the video is the part where nothing happens, with the part where you can’t see anything happening coming in a close second.
I can’t believe I said Al blew something, and nobody followed it up with a vulgar moose joke.
Hey, I heard Al knows a vulgar moose with a cold.
Al=Sarah Palin????
All that and the dude wearing the Penguins shirt didn’t get his ass kicked? Fuck South Dakota.
I thought Simple Assault was when you punched out a retard?
Busey forum, yes. Facebook, no.
And no, Jack!, I don’t want any of your ‘male enhancement salve’.
But it almost got me up to 5 inches! That’s a tremendous improvement!
Vinnie Jones would have gotten worse than simple assault, but the boot that was supposed to kick the bowling ball down the ramp to land on the victim’s head misfired when the string attached to the dog chasing the mailman broke.
Awww, c’mon Stoney. It’s literally helped threes of men get extra inch
esout of theirmanhooderectionsjunk.New up!
Wiley’s Tavern = 3.81 miles from where I was conceived.
So for me it’s fuckINsouthdakota, thanks
*wusses out, goes home*
There should be a law that, if you’re in a Brett Ratner movie, you can blame any shitty behavior on said shitty movie.
I mean, I’d be pissed too if some guy only recognized me from a crap movie where my biggest scene referenced an internet meme.
The fact that you call this a film blog, and can only cite X-Men as a film in which Vinnie Jones has appeared is pathetic. Anyone ever heard of two little unpopular movies called “Snatch” or “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels”? Vinnie Jones is motherfucking Bullet Tooth Tony, and all you could dig up was a smaller role as the Juggernaught in X-3? You people are ridiculous.
I didn’t “dig it up”, that was part of the story. The people in the bar asked him about X3, not Snatch. If you’d read any of my reviews you’d know that I’ve seen both those movies many times. Wait, no, I meant “Snatch, wut’s they-at? I am an igno-rant Uh-mare-eye-can! When’s the wrasslin’ on agin?”
