The Worst Film Ever

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

PROJECT STATUS: January 10th, 2015 During the production of MONEY FIGHT there were three PHASES of production.. Phase One: This first vision of the film Starring Ernie Reyes Junior, Maria Conchita Alonso, with John Savage and George Takei was licensed and distributed in several foreign territories including: Germany, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Brazil. Phase Two: We decided to rework the project to include more back story to the main characters and add other theatrical elements including; Ving Rhames, Matthias Hues, Aerial Photography, shooting at various gorgeous outdoor locations such as the boot camp in Valley of Fire and the Las Vegas Strip. We also added many elements with high production value, more heart, more romance, more sex appeal, better sound design, etc. We added several fights from known celebrity athletes and re-edited the entire feature to incorporate the full hour of additional footage. From this we created a very fast paced version of the film. The budget of this rework was $2,000,000. This film was showcased at AFM in 2012. This version of the film was licensed and distributed in several foreign territories including: Australia, New Zealand, Middle East, France, UK and a re-release in Germany. However, we did not find a suitable US theatrical distribution deal, so we decided to get back to work.Phase Three: After receiving great feedback from the international distribution community and additional funding from the limited international release, we decided to invest in a more fluid and heart felt re-edit of the project. We consulted with Steve MIrkovic, the award winning editor of Passion of the Christ, Con-Air, 16-Blocks and almost all of John Carpenters films. With his leadership and insight we created MONEY FIGHT. We invested a full year in post-production and another $500,000 into this final vision of the film which included scenes and footage never seen in either of the previous versions of the film, a greatly enhanced sound track, a dynamic re-edit of all the fights, beautiful sound design and color work. One may consider this version of the film "the director's cut." We prefer to refer to it as the final realization of a worthwhile story… Our vision realized. This final cut entitled MONEY FIGHT has not been seen by the distribution community. It was test screened in San Jose on September 21st 2012, and received standing ovations and a one week box office gross of over $9000. Marketing: We have invested nearly $400,000 into grass roots marketing leading up to this point. The entire martial arts community in the US is aware of the project in one form or another and eager for its release. The marketing has included having over 2000 martial arts school owners being bussed from the Martial Arts Super show to a sneak peek screening. Booths and poster signings at UFC Expo's, ATA World and National Karate Tournaments, and most importantly, we have produced three televised live fights that are currently being showcased throughout many TV networks.Current Objective: We are seeking out methods and relationships to release the film MONEY FIGHT theatrically in North America and then distribute the remaining rights worldwide.

Just a great "feel good" movie full of great MMA fight scenes. I'm so tired of the illegal underground fight movies that send out a negative message and giving MMA a bad rap. This movie has Rocky, and the Karate kid wrapped together providing the viewers with a pleasant experience. I enjoyed watching REAL MMA fighters like Frank Shamrock and Grey Maynard instead of actors act like fighters. Also good to see the training scenes filmed at the TAPOUT gym in Las Vegas. Ving Rhames, is classic as the gym owner and trainer and George Takei is alway fun to watch as he plays the villain running a corrupt made for TV fight show. John Savage was also a nice surprise as he plays the prison warden. Ernie Reyes is the movies hero who has to take on life's hurdles as he struggles with life, love and family. Great Job fellas, in my opinion this is a must see!

The fight scenes are great, well choerographed and exciting.Howeva the rest of the movie is the typical bad-boy from the streets gives up everything for fighting takes the wrong path disappoints his family. And now the only way to get back everyhting he lost from fighting is to get back in the ring for a big final fight. of course we have the training montage and the kindly old trainer task master imparts the wisdom of life. The opening scene that explains the RED CANVAS was a white canvas where Viet-Nam POW were forced to fight to the death. it was stained red from the blood. A story about EPW's fighting to death would've been more interesting than this one. Hell another story about prisoners fighting to death (has been to death) would have been more interesting than this. If you like fight movies skip this one, or fast forward thru the drama.

A typical martial arts movie. Although the acting isn't as bad as some, and the fight scenes are above average, the soundtrack is an example of how a poor choice of music and bad mixing can destroy a movie. For example, in the opening scene Voight's monologue is drowned out by the "background" music.The story is typical. The acting average. The main cast is filled with unknowns, but a few recognizable names have been included for billing purposes. Even though the better known actors aren't main characters, the remaining cast manages to carry the movie.Be fore warned, the usual final fight ends abruptly and leaves you wanting for more (perhaps an old UFC tape). The ending could definitely have been extended, and leaves you wondering if some footage was lost in the editing room. I really feel that a better ending, competent mixing and a few more fight scenes would have vastly improved the movie.With that said, the leading actor has potential. He does not over act. He seems to be able to carry a fight scene. And he actually makes the character believable. I will keep an eye out for any future movies he may be involved in. If I had been able to mute the background music, I may have liked the movie a bit more.If you are just looking to kill an hour and a half, and feel like watching some UFC fighters "doin' a movie", then this is for you.
