On an episode of “This is CineMMA,” the MMA Fighting movie review crew discusses the film “Blood and Bone,” analyzing Michael Jai White’s martial arts skills, the movie’s dialogue, and the feasibility of certain fight moves.
Can Michael Jai White handle the raw intensity of Blood and Bone? He’s got the skills, but does he have the grit? That’s the question.
Welcome to another episode of This is CineMMA. Our MMA Fighting movie review crew is back. This time, we’re breaking out of the clink and diving into the chaotic world of Bone (White).
Bone’s a man on a mission. He’s tearing through L.A.’s underground fight scene, leaving a trail of battered and bruised bodies in his wake. Along the way, he crosses paths with real-life fight legends like Kimbo Slice, Gina Carano, and Bob Sapp.
This film’s got it all. Bloody battles, raw language that’s definitely not safe for work, and a storyline that’s not for the faint-hearted.
Our crew, Alexander K. Lee, Jed Meshew, and E. Casey Leydon, are channeling their inner “Just Bleed Guy”. They’re in awe of White’s martial arts skills. They’re picking out the nastiest moves in the movie. And they’re trying to decipher some truly puzzling dialogue choices.
How would Bone fare in the UFC? Is Eamonn Walker a more menacing villain than Conor McGregor? Can someone really jump in the air and kick four people at once? We’re digging into Blood and Bone to find out.
