"Bumfights documentary to be shown."

Wow. Moral outrage over a documentary about the movie, and not the actual movie itself.

crazy.

"Later on, the documentary shows the two going to Las Vegas, where they end up fighting other down-and-outs procured by a character called the 'bum hunter' who pounces on them as they lie in the street. "

And this is crap. It doesn't happen. The "Bumhunter" (a Steve Erwin copy) does jump on homeless people and tape them up, but never forces them to fight each other.

to be honest, the majority of fighting in the DVD's is "backyard wrestling" style footage of american kids beating hell out of each other. Which they are going to do anyway............

couldn't they just replace it with mudslinging? it's mucho moreo entertainingo!

Bumhunter?
WoW!

oh, I see.

hmph.

I'm more concerned about what you were doing watching a Stallone movie.


And yus, I concur with all.
But one thing. I know I really shouldn't, but I can't help but laugh at the title given to the "Bum Hunter".
Sorry.

I was watching a film the other day and saw Stallone shoot someone at point blank range. Everyone in the cinema saw him do it but the very next day he was strolling around at a film premier like he'd done nothing wrong. There were many policemen about but they seemed more interested in keeping the crowd away from the Stars than arresting "Rambo".

As usual, it's one rule for the rich and famous and one rule for evil gangsters, muggers and rapists.

It makes me sad.

I saw a video the other day, don't know if it was legal or not probably underground stuff, but it had two big blokes in leotards hitting each other with chairs and throwing each other on the floor, then one of them was put in a coffin and it was nailed shut. There were hundreds of people watching too, and it was in a big cage live on TV. Like I said, it was probably illegal, so I don't want to implicate myself, but the winner called himself "Macho Man Randy Savage". Maybe the cops should be after him instead of chasing people with guns and stuff.

Bumfights is rubbish anyway. The fights look terrible, just people slapping each other and that 'Bum Hunter' thing is just sick.

Heh, exactly what I was just about to edit into my previous post. :)

Yep, probably just found a suitable scapegoat, like all those idiots that take potshots at people or hijack cars and then blame GTA.

What's to say they wouldn't have done it anyway? I don't see how a video of a homeless guy running headfirst into a billboard "Jackass" style can incite people to set fire to another.

"In Australia a group of teenagers who had watched the Bumfights video killed a tramp when they set fire to his shelter, burning it to the ground. "


Some sick bastrads around. But if the documentary is on, I'll probably watch it.
