Speaker 1:Movies that feature jujitsu. Jujitsu movies the action that scratches your jujitsu satisfaction. It is what you need when you watch a movie and you're like I want to see some real jiu-jitsu. You're built for radio bro, right, shit, I love it, man. I had witnessed some BJJ in action in a movie recently I won't talk about it because Joe's not seen this film but I was like, oh, that's jiu-jitsu right there. Ola's probably not even paying attention. I was like, look, he just did a scissors takedown. She's like what I'm doing, sudoku over here. You're watching it at home, obviously, yeah, but it's just like I get excited when I see BJJ in movies because I'm like it's our thing, yeah, we know it, right, I think all jujitsu players do. You see it. You're like, oh, oh, oh, I know how to do that. Or the guy in my gym knows how to do that. I nailed this guy last week with that same move, but possibly not as cinematically, and what had occurred to me is that…. We're not talking like jujitsu documentaries, right? No, no, no. We're not talking smashing, like you know, choking shit. We're talking the films, the fictitious films that have got the fight scenes Because… Action movies, this is what I'd say. So there's not that many films that are just dedicated to this is jiu-jitsu. So there was a film back in the day called Only the Strong. Oh, mark Dacascos, mark Dacascos, right, and he also played… did he play Bruce Lee in something? It was Capoeira. It was all about Capoeira in Miami. That was fucking cool. It was so great, yeah, and so athletic. And you're like, wow, this is really cool. Heaps of cool Jackie Chan-esque fight scenes, but around the idea of Capoeira, yeah, and that was sick.
Speaker 1:Jiu-jitsu, red jujitsu red belt, yeah, I'm. I wasn't a huge fan and I got really excited because, um, what's the actor's name? I'm going to mispronounce this, but, um, his name is chitwell eegia four enjoy for enjoy, for, yeah, great actor, right, legit. I think he's won academy awards now oscars, all of that 12 years, a slave, like awesome actor. Red belt not the best jujitsu movie in my opinion? Yeah, just my opinion. No, I totally agree. So he was the. Um, interesting, I'm just googling it now. I enjoyed red belt.
Speaker 1:Oddly, definitely didn't scratch the jujitsu itch, but the name of it you're like, oh, red belt, like that sounds fucking gangster. That's the jujitsu and there is like he's an instructor and he runs a gym and it's like a big theme within the film. But if I remember correctly, it was really a drama and it was just set around, yeah, chiwetel Ejiofor as the. It was just set around. He happens to be a jiu-jitsu instructor and that's kind of yeah, but the jiu-jitsu itself wasn't a huge focus. No, but like randy couture's in it there's, there's fighters in it, right, is randy in it? Yeah, and at the end he, you know he gets put in a head-arm choke and he has to like get out of it, he fights um one of the machado brothers. At the end, yeah, isn't he? And he, like, runs up over the wall to get out of this head-arm choke. There's always a way out, you know, if you think about it, I don't know, directed by David Mamet, who I believe has done some weird shit. Anyway, to the side, why I wanted to bring that up is I believe there's other movies that will scratch your jiu-jitsu itch. Wait before we go to the ones that actually have it.
Speaker 1:What about the film Jiu-Jitsu with Nicolas Cage, wasn't it which I never saw? It's about some weird space guy who comes to challenge every however many hundred years. It's like an L Ron Hubbard kind of story, yeah, kind of like Mortal Kombat-esque tournament. Has nothing to do with BJJ. It is rubbish. I haven't seen the film. I've seen clips from the film and I'm like what? What am I even looking? Yeah, it looks terrible. It's garbage and you know, whatever.
Speaker 1:I don't want to speak bad about nicholas cage, but I don't care if he's a pensioner, I'll choke him out. I'll say this is for the real jujitsu. Let's talk about films that actually do it right now. What brought this to mind was I was watching a film which is sci-fi related, but there was a fight scene and the guy did a scissors takedown and I was like, yeah, he didn't go to the heel hook, unfortunately, but he used that to get on top and then start beating the guy up and I was like that was actually like a really good scissors takedown and it made me start thinking about more jiu-jitsu in films and I thought about john wick, there's.
Speaker 1:So there's not just jiu-jitsu, it's judo. He is like shaking dudes out, like, oh, you're a russian mobster, I'll shake you out with your leather jacket and I'll see an argue you and shoot you in the face with your own gun. Yeah, and it's like he's consciously within all the choreography. I mean, he uses nunchucks, he uses everything right, but there's nunchucks and john wick yeah, maybe, maybe the most recent one he's like just slamming dudes with the nunchucks and he, he trains under gorilla jujitsu. Oh, what's his name?
Speaker 1:Camarillo, camarillo, dave camarillo as his coach, and you know, the guy's done martial arts for a long time kung fu, everything but each fight scene is structured for him to fight, like these weapons versus those weapons, like long sword versus short swords, nunchucks versus whatever. Yeah, exploding shotgun versus machine guns, like it's like a video game. But what is dope is there is actual jiu Jitsu in there. There's foot trips, yeah yeah, leg locks, arm bars. I do. I really liked um, I didn't see the middle ones, I saw the first one and then I saw the fourth one, which is most recent, wasn't it? I really like how he gets to the point of submission and then opts for the headshot. So it's, you're like fuck, that's sick. Totally what I would have done. I totally would potentially forget the braking mechanics, just position of control, blam, potentially shoot your own nuts off, blah. Anyway, he's got balls of steel, it doesn't matter. But no, I, what I do? Like about john wick, even other than the excessive violence, and he has to kill like a thousand guys.
Speaker 1:A movie, there is actual true martial arts in the choreography. Yes, like you've got a guy using a samurai sword in that style. You've got another guy. He's doing something. It is. It is somewhat, somewhat closer to the techniques of that thing. You, it's still very divorced from actual fighting, isn't it? It's not real and that.
Speaker 1:That that actually struck me like like, yeah, like I enjoyed john wick, for I did find it was like I'm sick of saying just more people just get killed here, but the uh people can be like just fucking soft. I'm like man, we got ufc and shit. Now, yeah, can't the fight scenes just be like they can still be spectacular and the stunts and all that. But can't some of them just be like they can still be spectacular and the stunts and all that, but can't some of them just be a little bit more basic, a bit more realistic? But the thing is, you see, the things that make the UFC spectacular are not the normal jab, oh, john Wick's working that. Jab like you know who gives a fuck. Like dudes have got machetes and machine guns and like, yeah, but it's more that I don't know. I disagree.
Speaker 1:I think there is a place for someone who's like hey, all right, let's take what we know about real fighting, my counterpoint movie to the more spectacular Jason Bourne. The fight scenes in Bourne are awesome. They're close, counter, like close quarters, and it's like dude's got a razor blade, he's got a book, he's blocking with the book, shoving dude in the neck. It's like he falls down, he whacks him in the head, he throws him into the toilet and it's all up, close and personal. And he actually does choke a dude to death. In the third or second one he does use jiu-jitsu, even though they're like fighting, striking elbows, all that anything at hand, right, yeah, just dude's got a knife. Yeah, we make it work. I'm gonna roll up a magazine. He starts like trying to extend the weapon length to defend himself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not saying that's super real, but it's not flashy, it's just dudes kind of fighting to the death. Very close, yeah, it's less. Yeah, it's less flashy. Yeah, I, I still, I still think it's not flashy. It's just dudes kind of fighting to the death and very close, yeah, it's less. Yeah, it's less flashy, yeah, I still, I still think it's of a similar vein, though, like I don't know, you know, you, you just, you see them do shit, like, um, they're fighting, and then you pin me up against the wall and then like turn you around and pin you against the wall and it's like, well, why did that guy just stop defending all of a sudden? Why did he just become weak? No, I think, I think that's that stuff irks me. Yeah, for sure, I think.
Speaker 1:If you and maybe have you seen the born, all the born movies Um, at least the majority of, and I like pretty sick, yeah, I think they're kind of closer to reality than, say, a john wick, but we all know john wick's gonna be crazy over the top, yeah, but uh, so for me I go, john wick shows some so shows jujitsu and judo, I think. Recently I re-watched the born series so I was like, actually there's some jujitsu in here which is cool, I'd forgot about. But then it took me to like different movies which I was like, oh, there is jujitsu in there. Now, you may or may not like this show, because I I know there's certain films that you don't like to watch.
Speaker 1:You're talking about fucking Harry Potter or some shit. No, I'm not going to talk about Harry Potter. I was watching this kid's movie, right? Yeah? Anyway, this just joe's perception, but that's okay. A shout out, right? Everyone else? No, I'm not taking that shout out, bro. That's all you bullshit. Harry potter what would you know? What would you know like a single most successful selling book series in the history of books? Kids love it. No, adults love it actually. But that's fine. It's a different kind of adult, but it's cool.
Speaker 1:What I wanted to go to is black pan. Oh, why do I say this? One Black Panther, or is there two? No, there's two. They did the first and then they did Wakanda Forever, okay, yeah, so the first and we'll possibly do a third.
Speaker 1:But in the first, when the character T'Challa gets challenged of being Black Panther from M'Bbaku the big gorilla cat, yeah, he reverse triangles him with the overhook armbar. They're on the edge of the, they're on like a water, it's like a waterfall, they're on a cliff. You need to tap, like you need to choose to submit or I'll break your arm, and he's like choking him. He's got like the yeah, reverse body triangle from like like sorry, the body triangle, but like high up and he's got the overhook on it. It's like legit jiu-jitsu, yeah, and Mbaku taps and then T'Challa becomes Black Panther, which dictates the fate of the MCU. So jiu-jitsu is quite important, even in the MCU. What's the MCU? Oh, like the Marvel, whatever universe. Oh, okay, like the whole world, right, okay, if, if he didn't become black Panther, then that whole universe is under threat, yeah, everything would have collapsed, okay, but, yeah, he's actually like legit jujitsu in that, in in that moment in that film, so just in that, in that kind of scene.
Speaker 1:There's plenty of other fights in that, but there's no more Jujitsu in that movie, really, right. No, there is a bit of Jujitsu when he fights Killmonger at the end, but that doesn't determine the nature of the fight. It's more stabbing and punching and that kind of thing. So you see a lot more striking If you look at early action movies in the 90s, look at James Bond or anything. They don't kick, they just go one for one, bang, bang, bang. I punch you, you punch me, and maybe there's a dirty elbow Throw you through a window. Yeah, but you're not seeing like Muay Thai, leg kicks and stuff like this. So here's a wild card for you, please.
Speaker 1:And just when you brought this up, I was like oh, there's a fucking movie from way back. Lethal Weapon, yes, mel gibson and gary buzy. He's like tied up. Uh, that could be where it happens. It's the final fight scene. He triangle, chokes him right, triangle to finish him right, and it's like and so I just looked it up and he was training with hori and gracie at the time.
Speaker 1:Well, awesome that you say that, because that reminds me there's a moment where it's him versus, um, the danny treyo of asian dudes. He's like the ratty, goaty, receding hairline mullet guy, yeah, who's guarding him. And he's tied up and they're torturing him. Oh, that guy, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he gets his feet around, never says anything, no, yeah, he's just there with a machine gun or a machete and he's in so many films henchman, henchman, henchmen, one, um, yeah, he like not gogo platters him, but like gets his feet up around his neck, yeah, kind of chokes him with his feet and then like twists and pops his neck and I was like whoa, mel gibson with that furious mullet just sprinting down right pumping fucking marlboros. Mel gibson was such a boss in those films back in the day, yeah, that that main of a yeah of a mullet. And he, back in the day, yeah, that main of a yeah Of a mullet. And he's like the Craig Jones of Of cops you know what I mean. Like he's an Aussie guy that made it there there wasn't a lot of Aussies in Hollywood at the time. No, he, definitely. He broke through on that. Yeah, but man Smoking and just drinking coffees and just give a fuck. You want to know a funny story about mel gibson please, sort of indirect.
Speaker 1:We went to um when I was 13. My dad was like, hey, we're gonna buy a new pool table like billiards, not billiards, but a pool table, small table. Yeah, we always had one growing up. It was a shitty old one and so dad's like we'll get one, we'll get it, we'll get a proper one. And uh, so we went to the shop, was it right? I remember it was like the pool shop shop and in there and there's you know, a bunch of pool tables and a really nice guy came out and was like the salesperson and Dad was like I recognise that guy and I couldn't place him. And then, anyway, sometime later that day, he's like I fucking know who it is. He said it's the guy who starred in the movie Gallipoli, which was a, you know, war film, preliminary Aussie kind of film. Yeah, and it was him and Mel Gibson were the two stars. Oh, there you go. And it was like holy shit, that guy's working in a selling pool tables. Mel Gibson's, mel Gibson. You're like how interesting it can go so many different ways. Yeah, man, it's pretty. It was a great pool table. I strongly recommend Shop's no longer there. But if you, I'd give it a five-star review if I could.
Speaker 1:The next movie I wanted to go to, which is an obvious movie in my opinion, which is Warrior, with Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton Tom Hardy when they were brothers. And Tom Hardy is just like. All I think of that film is just traps, traps, tom Hardy, traps. And Tom Hardy is just like. All I think of that film is just traps, traps, tom Hardy, traps. It's just all like. Nothing below the waist, it's just all shot here. Yeah, because they make him look big and he's quite short, isn't he? Yeah, but he's pretty jacked in that one. Short guys are, that's true, that's true. But the great thing is Tom Hardy, now very much in transition too. But why I say that is Tom Hardy gets omoplated and gets his arm dislocated by Joe Edgerton.
Speaker 1:Does he, joe Edgerton, the total underdog like, steps in for his coach, that's right. Beats the greatest of all time, cobar oh, is that the Brazilian guy? No, no, no, cobar is Russian and he's meant to be like a Fedor Emelianenko-esque, like crazy. Undefeated 100-0. Kurt Angle oh, it's Kurt Angle. Yeah, how funny. Yeah, I mean, there is a Brazilian in the tournament, this eight-man super tournament, and Joel Edgerton knee-bars him. He switches to like an overhooked knee-bar, fuck yeah, and pulls out the win, which is huge. So, even though this fight, even though this, this movie, is about brothers and brotherly love and all kinds of other shit. Ultimately, jujitsu wins that movie. He wins via nearby and he also dislocates his brother's shoulder via, but he I'm a platter and you're like jujitsu wins. This is a great story. He breaks his brother's shoulder and that guy might have to go to military jail but now they're friends again. What a happy ending.
Speaker 1:Joel edgerton has done so well for another great Australian export to Hollywood, but under the radar, right, yeah, never had superstar roles but then, just yeah, never became like the Sam Worthington in terms of his name, but arguably has a better portfolio Doing well, yeah, and also directing. Yeah, better actor, I think. How interesting. Yeah, okay, it's so funny man. Funny man Because I don't know. There's the Jake Gyllenhaal film Coming out. He was involved. Roadhouse. Yeah, okay, it is Roadhouse. It's a remake of Roadhouse and Conor McGregor Is playing the villain.
Speaker 1:It looks a bit ridiculous. Actually, I'd kind of forgotten that's what it was, but I saw the trailer. I was like this looks a bit ridiculous. Well, he's an ex. You right, sell on it. But so I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm like it's funny that we had films like red belt, films like warrior, when jujitsu and mma and stuff were really quite less established. Yes, you would think now they could do a lot better job of it, because there's a lot more people watching those things. Yes, especially the mma side of things, but maybe, I don't know, no one wants to touch it because it's like, oh, it's a hard one to do. Well, when it was a little bit more abstract, it was like whatever, we'll have a crack. Yeah, maybe I think you've got harsh judges, no, maybe.
Speaker 1:But you're seeing jujitsu in more fight scenes, like you're seeing someone jump up and do like a flying triangle to a takedown but then doesn't finish in a triangle. You, you know, it's just. It looks cool Like Scarlett Johansson does this takedown where she runs up, jumps off a wall, wraps her leg around his neck and his arm and all the nerds are like I would be that stunt guy. I would totally get my neck broken to have my face in her crotch. It's just nerd porn, right? She takes him down and then beats's your harry potter friends, beats him in the face. No, I mean, this is just calm down, it's just nerds. The nerds are everywhere. You don't have to be into harry potter, be a nerd, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:You're seeing things which are probably taken from jujitsu which are not, it's just, it's cultural misappropriation. That's what it is. That's exactly what it's like the italian restaurant that's that starts selling burritos what are you thinking? You're like, guys, you're crossing some lines right now, get out of here. It's like one strong mafia meets another strong mafia. Who's gonna win?
Speaker 1:Um, so I was looking at all these different films now when I actually I did a little google search and I was like what you know, what does the internet think? Uh, good jujitsu movies are. And I was like what you know, what does the internet think good jujitsu movies are? And there was one called Tokyo Zombie. Now, I have not seen this film. If you have seen this film, please, you know, write an analysis in the comments. But it says that these jujitsu enthusiasts use their jujitsu skills to combat zombies. And I was like that is one time when jujitsu is not helpful.
Speaker 1:If there's one way you're going to get bitten, it's by, like trying to triangle a zombie. You double-leg a zombie. You're going to definitely get bitten. This is made in 1999. Oh, no wait, I'm looking at the comic book. So it was a manga book first. Right, fair enough, okay, oh, tokyo Zombie at the comic book, so it was a. It was a manga. It was a manga book first. Right, fair enough, okay. Oh, tokyo zombie z-o-n-b-i oh my bad.
Speaker 1:In 2005, horror comedy about two blue collar factory workers who happen to be jiu-jitsu experts dealing with a ravenous, flesh-eating zombie uprising in tokyo. Sounds fucking, it's right, it sounds like it could be great. But like, if there's one art that I would say would not be good for beating zombies, yeah, it would be jiu-jitsu, not jitsu. Yeah, stay on your feet, man, keep working that jab, work that, jab, work that teep. So I just um, I just look at that.
Speaker 1:Did you watch that? I, I have not seen it. I read the synopsis and I went that's too short. I call bullshit on that. Yeah, just go. No, I have not seen it. I read the synopsis and I went last two shot. I call bullshit on that. Yeah, just go. No, I don't think that's the case. Um, but then I want to throw to an old film, which is where I first saw jujitsu in a movie. Right, and we've talked about this before.
Speaker 1:Enter the dragon. Oh, bruce lee. Yeah, versus sammo Hung at the start, and he armbars him. He does, doesn't he? They've got the modified MMA gloves. Bruce had those made custom, really Like fingertips, exposed gloves, that wasn't a thing. Wow, he got those made and you know it's cool.
Speaker 1:That's that kind of opening scene like don't look at the finger, like just prior to that, before that, yeah, the monk is like the head of the shell in order is like standing there watching with the wispy beard and it's Sammo Hung, not as fat as he can be, or is this when he's on the island? No, no, no, this is at the start. Okay, yeah, he's got long hair, sammo's kind of slim. Well, compared to his later form, yeah, yeah, less of a butterball, but he does do a scissors takedown and I think he ends up armbarring him. Even though he like jabs him up, kicks him, wow, he finishes him with the armbar.
Speaker 1:And then, yeah, I think that there's a bunch of jujitsu throughout that. Yeah, even though most of it is stand-up fighting, yeah, and you know, I saw that when I was a kid and I was like whoa, that's some magic shit, that's dark arts, what's he doing? So you were able to kind of recognize that as something different and unique. I didn't understand that it was Brazilian jiu-jitsu, yeah, but it was. Well, it was jiu-jitsu. It was jiu-jitsu, but I just didn't understand what the hell's going on when you, yeah, understand what the hell's going on when you, yeah, see, I think for me, I'm like I, I can't even I don't know if, like, if that movement in the fight scene even registered as a kid, I'm just like, I just want to see people getting hit, yes, you know. Which is why don't you fucking fly kick him? Just knock him out. What is a fly kick? Just I don't care, just fucking in the air legs splits someone flying over there, yeah, and then nunchuck his ass. Yeah, that's right, nunchucks all the way. Fuck man, how about that? Enter the Dragon was ahead of its time.
Speaker 1:You know, I did tell you when I went to Hong Kong, I went to the. There's a museum there that was hosting a Bruce Lee exhibition. I had hosted it for many years it was coming to an end sometime around when I was there, oddly enough, and they had really cool pieces relevant to Bruce Lee and, you know, storytelling and stuff. One of the things I had, which actually brought it kind of welled up a bit looking at it, was his handwritten notes from his journal oh wow. And it was his like training journal oh wow. And you could see they just had, I don't know, maybe half a dozen different, like like two pages kind of spread, and you could see his notes on his weightlifting and it was like um, jerk clean, you know barbell press, bench press, like just basic barbell stuff. It had boxing training and it had notes on jujitsu and little drawings of positions. Oh, wow. And you're like this motherfucker like was actually putting it all together. Yeah, like kung fu, people weren't doing olympic weightlifting. No, not at all. They weren't doing western boxing, like it was so ahead of his time. Yeah, but to see the notes that he had taken and it was really cool. You get each set like how much weight he lifted and formulated the thing. Yeah, it's pretty cool, so incredible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was obsessed with with Bruce Lee since such a young age and to think about all the different things he brought together. Yeah, really, as the grandfather of MMA, as a style, like all styles together, but then also as an entertainer to break through into Western. He was in Hong Kong cinema a long time to then take that step and become a star in the US. Yeah, pretty amazing. Like really set that groundwork. Movies have a huge effect on how we see something being popular and what we're seeing is more and more jujitsu in movies, whether it's a Marvel movie down to like an indie movie. Now there was a Hong Kong movie many years ago Like a.
Speaker 1:Here's a guy who played Ip man, very famous guy. He's got a really good back kick. Oh, yeah, donnie Yuen, donnie Yuen, yep, donnie Yuen, and he's got the best spinning back kick ever. And he was also in John Wick more recently as the villain. The most recent one he played the bad guy who kills his master or whatever. No, the most recent one was the big, tall Scandinavian bloke. No, donnie Yuen is like a sword guy and he kills John Wick's Japanese mate. Oh, he's blind. Yeah, that's right, the blind swordsman, blind swordsman, sub-villain, sub-villain, not the arch-villain, but yeah.
Speaker 1:So anyway, he was in another film where there's an epic fight scene which is very unrealistic. That goes for like half an hour. It's in a building construction site, the five-round banger oh, mate, it is the UFC Hall of Fame type shit. But they do every fighting style. It is sick Within that one fight. Yeah, so the guy starts doing Muay Thai. So he starts doing Muay Thai versus Muay Thai and then he goes now I'm gonna do Tiger Kung Fu. And so he starts doing those moves and then he's like, well, I'm gonna now judo, throw you. It's like, oh, we're doing grappling, now are we? And they, and they literally go through every striking form and every grappling form in this epic fight scene.
Speaker 1:And I can't remember the name of the film, unfortunately it was very abstract. I was watching it in a asian supermarket. I was in an asian supermarket trying to just get some, some cheap snacks and I just saw it up on tv. I just stopped and I was like this is the greatest fight scene of all time. What fucking shop is this? This is awesome. So I mean, maybe, if you, if you know what that movie is, donnie donnie yen, donnie yen, awesome martial artist all around everything.
Speaker 1:And yeah, what I'm stoked on is that I am seeing Jiu-Jitsu more in movies. But what I would like to freaking see is an actual, just good Jiu-Jitsu movie, a movie that's based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you know, based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, accurate to the culture and shows good grappling. That would be freaking awesome. Can we not organize that? You know, keanu, could you sort it out? You know Ashton Kutcher, I wonder what it is. I wonder what you know, does it? I mean, we know that Jiu-jitsu in its regular form is not the most spectacular, friendly form of combat.
Speaker 1:I'm thinking for these movies. If you're a writer and you write this thing and then it gets to the producers and they're like it looks good, but let's get some gunshots in there, they're like, no, no, it's jiu-jitsu. They're like, yeah, I don't give a fuck, it's an action movie. I need some people getting shot, you know. And the writer's like but I got this idea, no one's done it. They're like we're gonna give a shit dude, but no, but maybe that could be possible. Like, so, say, for Batman.
Speaker 1:Batman's not allowed to have guns. Within the culture of the ah right, the canon of Batman, he can't use guns. He has to just punch and bash dudes. Yeah, because that's his character, for whatever reason. Right, it must be a rich white guy thing, I don't know. Um, but how funny he doesn't. He doesn't have guns. No, he people, he gets shot at and stuff, but he will never use guns.
Speaker 1:That's a really important thing there. Maybe there's a jujitsu guy. His parents were shot, weren't they? That's right. Yeah, yeah, by allegedly by the joker, but there's some conjecture around it. Yeah, that was a bit fucking. That's not what the.
Speaker 1:The original comic book that I read didn't go down like that, please. But yes, I'm not into these childish things Comic books I am when I was a child. I'm a grown ass man now, fam, allegedly Look at that, leo. See how Batman doesn't use guns? Yeah, but no, I think what would be interesting is a jujitsu character who defeats people with guns without using guns, like a pacifist kind of not pacifist, but you know in, yeah, like doesn't kill them, just, but just subdues them, chokes them yeah, sits down with them, talks about the error of their ways, maybe shows them how to work on their foot sweep yeah, right, you keep making the same mistake.
Speaker 1:Let me give you a hand with that. We should do it private. Come by my school, I can see it. I can see the storyline unfolding. It'll be amazing. All right, maybe you need to write this screenplay, bro, you're a man of the arts. I do enjoy these things, but no, I think…. 2026. There's so many things you can do. I'm working on it. I got a jiu-jitsu superhero. I'm working on it. That's it, my friends, and look, if you want to get behind more of the stuff that we do and we do appreciate your support.
