Short description

Martial artist Mike Terry lives by a strict code of no competitions, for he feels that such contests weaken fighters. After saving a famous action star from a brutal attack, Mike takes a job in the film industry. He soon finds his personal beliefs and integrity on the line as circumstances force him to participate in a prize fight.

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.
