Short description
Is there room for principle in Los Angeles? Mike Terry teaches jujitsu and barely makes ends meet. His Brazilian wife, whose family promotes fights, wants to see Mike in the ring making money, but to him competition is degrading. A woman sideswipes Mike's car and then, after an odd sequence of events, shoots out the studio's window. Later that evening, Mike rescues an action movie star in a fistfight at a bar. In return, the actor befriends Mike, gives him a gift, offers him work on his newest film, and introduces Mike's wife to his own - the women initiate business dealings. Then, things go sour all at once, Mike's debts mount, and going into the ring may be his only option.
What's left behind the scenes
- Before starting filming, David Mamet studied Jiu-Jitsu for almost 6 years.
- The fighter biographies in the table – both on the right and on the left – consist entirely of identical text about a fighter named David.
- Dan Inosanto, who played "The Professor", was once a student of Bruce Lee (1940-1973).
- Before filming began, Chiwetel Ejiofor trained for three months, practicing jiu-jitsu for 12 hours each day.
- Pat Miletich, an American mixed martial artist from the welterweight division, served as a consultant on the film.
- During the stadium fight scene, David Mamet gave extras $100 bills for correct answers to simple questions in order to encourage them to look in the right direction and show interest in what was happening.
