Rare film of a Battle Royal

:admin Blindfolded?

 

thanks Mendoza. I thought battle royals were only used in wrestling. it looks pretty offbeat and is the most viloent occurence since I watched that UFC fight the other day when that guy's leg disintigrated after being kicked

 

Barbaric and demeaning.

 

Slakka - would you upload the above-referenced Jack interview and the picture? It'd be very interesting. Thanks.

 

Sickening. Couldn't even watch it till the end. The commentator makes it unbearable. Even knowing this happened, watching it makes it hard to believe.

 

republicans look at that and don't understand what's wrong. that was ****ing disgraceful.

 

I watched it with the sound off so haven't heard the commentary.

I didn't think it was as bad as a lot of other incidental racist stuff from that era .... for example, black people's roles in films from the 1930s and '40s, stupid "co0n" character roles spoiling otherwise decent movies.
Hey, I don't even have to go back that far. Here in the UK I was watching more racist stuff than that on the BBC in the 1980s.

Then again, maybe in a few years time people will look back on the Rumble in the Jungle or the Thrilla In Manilla as pretty vile stuff too. It's possible.

 

You can now on the BBC. Racist towards whites, natch.
