4/5
Outstanding
by Kuroda Taiki
I remember this well, this was when MMA was still being called the term NHB(No-Holds-Barred) and examines fights around the world. You see glimpses of true Vale Tudo in Brazil, where headbutts, knees and elbows really don't have the rulings and restrictions held in UFC and Pride, and is closest to a street fight as there are no gloves. This is the highlight if you can't seem to find fights from Brazil.
Fights around the world here in bare knuckle MMA, showed the interviews of each fighters mentality in the ring/cage, and their backgrounds.
You'll see originators here, Frank Shamrock, Enson Inoue, Randy Couture, Kevin Randleman.
It's a look into early MMA, the views before UFC blew up onto basic cable reruns, and is violent in examining the growing pains. You can tell these were the early years as today most professional fighters are very well balanced in all aspects.
4/5
Great mix of fights and fighters
by K. Birdwell (Bellevue, WA USA)
Great collection of fight highlights from all over - Hawaii, Japan, Brazil, US, etc. Some fights are professionally filmed, others are rough single hand-held cameras in crude conditions, much like the fighters themselves. Worth it for the interviews alone - no talking heads, just the fighters telling their stories. For some it's almost a religious calling, for others it's their only chance to make it out dire poverty and the wrong side of the law. Smart, sad, inspiring and brutal. Lot's a short clips from fights and fighters I've only read about. Wish it were longer.
5/5
A Beyond the Mat type movie for NHB fans
by Gary A. Miller (Ocklawaha, Florida United States)
This is a great 2 disc video of the history of NHB fighting. Very well made and has several extra's including behind the scenes with Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman. Well worth the money.
1/5
barely worth the time it takes to watch!
by somewhere in time (Syracuse, NY)
not only was this poorly done as a documentary, most of it seems to play out as a wwe promo video with lots of a-typical aggressive rap and "metal" music playing during most match highlights. this video is not even close to being as professional, atmospheric, and entertaining as "the smashing machine" and "choke". altogether it may be worth a rent (depending on if you think you can tolerate the horribly overdubbed music), but is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH BUYING!!! the only redeeming quality about this dvd is the interviews with some of the fighters like jackson, cotoure, and randleman- but then the film turns right around and portrays a meat-headed view of the sport. not good at all. anyone with a camera and access to the fighters could have accomplished the same product.
