GhostFighter Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 Anyone know any good movies with Jiu-Jitsu style fights? Everyday is a fight
JEM618 Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Well, I don't know the name of it, but right around the peak of Gracie popularity, Seagel made a movie. In one scene he does some 'text book BJJ'; mounts / passes the guard / chokes the guy out from behind. Really basic but easy to see exactly what he was doing. Anyway, that fight, which takes place in a train car, only lasts 20-30 seconds. Can't remember if there is anymore.

Gumbi Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 You're probably thinking of under siege 2- Rigan Machado I believe was the bad guy and he tackles seagal to the ground- with a good couple of elbows and kidney kicks, seagal sets him up for a quick armbar, then takes his back and chokes him unconcious. Then there's Lethal Weapon with the fight scene at the end choreographed by Rorion and Royce Gracie. Jiu Jitsu happens at the end when Mel Gibson rolls Gary Busey over and is in a headlock- Mel Gibson makes his frame, breaks the grip, takes the arm for the armbar, Gary sits up and counters, and Gibson switches to triangle choke.
