The Top 5 Must-Watch MMA Films

Source

Martial arts have seen plenty of success in the film industry. Think Bruce Lee’s legendary fight scenes in the 1970s and Sylvester Stallone’s immaculate performances in the Rocky franchise, not to mention that film that you are not allowed to talk about…The first rule of Fight Club.

But while martial arts are widespread in Hollywood and beyond, MMA rarely gets a mention. Boxing, karate, and kung fu have gained huge followings off the back of successful movies. But even though the discipline is popular today big-time broadcasters show bouts frequently and many sports betting providers regularly feature MMA betting on their sportsbooks it’s a lot harder for the general public to name a film involving MMA.

If you have an ESPN+ subscription or an account with a sportsbook provider, you will most likely find a bout, be it live or a rerun, on the television or sportsbook stream, but it might be trickier locating a MMA movie if you are looking for an alternative martial arts fix.

That is why we have put together this guide to the best MMA films of all time, so you can add them to your watchlist.

1. Warrior (2011)

One of the greatest modern MMA films of all time, Warrior starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton tells the story of two estranged brothers who reunite during an MMA tournament. With a dramatic family dynamic and twists and turns throughout, Warrior is a must-see for any MMA or martial arts fan. It had a budget of $25million but grossed just over $5million on its opening night. Despite commercial failings, it was heavily praised by critics and fans alike.

2. Bloodsport (1988)

Jean-Claude Van Damme is the protagonist of this cult classic, which essentially kick started his career. The film is about the life of Frank Dux, a US Army captain who competes in an underground martial arts tournament in Hong Kong. Despite negative reviews, Bloodsport became a huge success, spawning an entire franchise from its popularity.

3. Here Comes The Boom (2012)

Part-comedy, part-drama, Here Comes The Boom was produced by Happy Madison Productions, owned by Adam Sandler. Scott Voss, a bored biology teacher, starts competing in MMA competitions after learning that even the loser wins money to raise funds for his struggling school. If you want to see a high school teacher throw some punches, this is the film for you!

4. The Hammer (2010)

Not as well-known as some of the others on our list, The Hammer (previously called Hamill) follows the life of Matt Hamill in his youth. Hamill (played by Russell Harvard) is a deaf wrestler and MMA fighter who competes in collegiate competitions at Rochester Institute of Technology.

5. Undisputed II: Last Man Standing (2006)

While we could have recommended any of the films in the Undisputed franchise, the sequel stands out to us most. While the first one is a boxing film, the sequels bring in new forms of MMA to make the fight choreography even more exhilarating. Undisputed II stars Michael Jai White and Scott Adkins as the two are made to battle in an underground fighting ring in a Russian prison.

By Paul Bramhall 

3 years after the unexpected global success of the Netflix series Squid Game, the streaming giant continues to plough money into Korean content, with the countries K-dramas coming to enjoy the same level of popularity globally as they have within Asia for most of the 21st century. Movies haven’t escaped the streaming services sights either, sometimes exclusively distributing them, and other times producing them. The latest to arrive on the platform is Mission: Cross, frequently referenced as a Korean mix of Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets True Lies, which while feeling like a lazy comparison also isn’t entirely untrue (and at this point any action movie that escapes a “insert movie title here meets John Wick” comparison must be worth a look.

For fans of Korean cinema, particularly those that got into it during the Korean Wave of the early 2000’s, the biggest selling point of Mission: Cross will be to see 2 performers synonymous with the era sharing the screen together for the first time. While Hwang Jung-min’s popularity skyrocketed during the 2010’s, personally I’ll always associate him with the likes of 2001’s Waikiki Brothers and 2003’s A Good Lawyer’s Wife. When it comes to Yum Jung-ah, when I was first getting into Korean cinema it felt like it was impossible to watch a horror movie without her Continue reading

Christmas Carol (2022) Review

"Christmas Carol" Theatrical Poster

“Christmas Carol” Theatrical Poster

Director: Kim Seong-soo
Cast: Park Jinyoung, Kim Young-min, Heo Dong-won, Song Geon-hee, Kim Dong-Hwi
Running Time: 130 min.

By Paul Bramhall

While the English title of writer and director Kim Seong-soo’s 3rd feature Christmas Carol may sound like another disposable entry in Netflix’s festive movie lineup, thankfully the reality is very different. Taking the classic tale of a revenge seeking protagonist who intentionally gets sent to prison to hunt down those responsible for an injustice, those expecting a warmly festive themed dose of Korean cinema are best to look elsewhere.

Former K-pop group member Park Jinyoung (Yaksha: Ruthless Operations, A Stray Goat) plays an 18-year-old tearaway youth living on the bottom rungs of society. The breadwinner of his family, consisting of his dementia ridden grandmother and his mentally disabled twin brother (whom he also plays), when the latter is found dead in their apartment buildings water tank on Christmas eve, the authorities surmise it was a suicide. Despite the body showing signs of violence, the police visit the grandmother while Jinyoung is working and, not knowing any better, she signs off on the death certificate, only to also die a few days later. Jinyoung Continue reading
