This movie in my opinion has to be one of the most underrated Martial Arts movie of all time. The action is superb and the Teen drama is on point too lol
Seth, come on, man, you gotta watch the movie!! LOL. He starts training, then gets kicked out of the gym. There is a whole "double redemption" thing going on! LOL. And he learned that knee bar from the sensei, and the sweep from mount too at the end....ugh...come on, Seth! LOL.
@@animationdude9 of course! Sometimes I crack myself up. And I pretty much work alone. So I laugh out loud all the time, because know one is there to hear me. Does my joy offend you? That's sad.
@@HO1ySh33t I dunno how typical tap out via testicular torsion is, so I guess it would depend on if your just giving 'em a tap, or attempting balloon animals/origami.
when i first saw this movie i called it "the karate kid script wrapped in a tapout hoodie" and i still think it's pretty accurate. entertaining as hell though
Well now we have to have reactions to Kingdom fight scenes! Literally the best bit of MMA-based fiction I've ever seen. Plenty of cameos all through the show too.
Erik Paulson was an MMA consultant for this. There was a kick that was a big part of his MMA curriculum in that bathroom scene. Plus, the Catch he did is "Catch A" in his curriculum. There ya go lol
Remember watching a bootleg copy of this when I was in Iraq in 2008. Definitely the first "MMA" movie that released to a wide audience that introduced a shit ton of people to the idea. While UFC certainly was going by this point it had been sent to the dark ages thanks to John McCain. This movie made MMA seem like the next big thing the kids were doing.
@@toasega McCain was the one who pushed for many states to ban MMA starting in 1997 and running into the early 2000’s. By 2008 UFC had made a comeback thanks to the first season of the Ultimate fighter but it still wasn’t fully accepted into mainstream culture yet. NBD actually helped normalize MMA and MMA training.
@@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302 Why is it that every time something new comes out they try to ban it? Like, we STILL have those stupid speed bump popcorn things on every street corner because people hate skaters for some reason, but now people can't even learn to fight in a safe environment and get a positive outlet for their youthful frustrations?
The Big Bad got DQd you due to an eye gouge in the semis so when Hero found out he tapped the floor at the start of his semi match. When Hero left he got confronted by Big Bad and as the finals started everyone left that fight to go outside for the "real championship" much to the chagrin of the bracket winners inside
The part where your editor buddy breaks down the shots in various movies, pure gold. Would be a pretty cool idea for a series. Guessing how big budget movie scenes are done.
I can't believe you forgot the plot of this masterpiece. He trains with a guy in a garage guy to learn to fight. The fight club doesn't bet busted. The bad guy from Twilight gets DQ'd and then these two start fighting in the car park and everyone leaves the real main event to watch them instead.
that last kick is one of the oldest martial arts movie tricks in the book lmao. you do a close up shot of either a fake leg thats really soft on the end inside a padded version of the shoe, or even just put the padded version of the shoe on someone's hand, and then you smack the person with it. Doesn't feel great, but it doesn't hurt anywhere near as bad as a real strike and you don't risk serious injury. its why basically only his "shin" is visible for the shot, its less work to get a believable angle and look that way. Check out the series called stuntmen react on corridor digital 2nd channel. it'll give you all the coolest Hollywood stunt secrets and tricks.
I think it was a real kick on a fake head. Note the rubbery movement and the dead eye stare. Also, CGI back then was super obvious, especially for faces
Never Back Down was part of a weird trend of 2000’s movies where they would make a movie that was Kid Transfers To A New School That Is Weirdly Obsessed With X. Other examples are High School Musical, Stomp The Yard, and The Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift
Never Back Down and F&F3 Tokyo Drift are the same exact movie. Just replace fighting with racing. They even had the same exact tone. Peak mid-2000's teen angst redemption movies.
Truly a product of its time and the training session is actually cool. I enjoyed it. Haven’t seen the 2 or the 3rd film but seen that Michael Jay White joins in and shows his karate
Awesome video! I always felt that this movie was a MMA copy of Karate Kid, like the storyline mirrored it. I enjoyed it but took it as something Fun to watch, a lot of very Hollywood factors. I definitely enjoyed it more than some of the sequels😅
It’s basically karate kid Kid moves to a new town With a single mother Gets bullied by douchebag Gets with douchebags girl Learns martial arts from mysterious man. Fights douchebag In tournament. Wins by kick to the face.
The leg catching technique is fine if he raises his hand above his head instead of starting so low like you said. Also he's gotta move with the kick. Varga does it all the time.
Seth bro I thought of a few movie fight scenes for you to react to that I think you may like: •Grosse Point Blank - hallway fight with Benny the Jet •Stranger Things - plane karate fight •Coriolanus - ending knife fight scene •Hunted - has many knife fights using kali techniques
I didnt know much or care about mma until i saw this movie in 2008, and I've been training ever since then! It was my favorite movie for a long time, and even though i cant say its the Best movie ever, it did literally change my life. Definitely ahead of its time, and on top of cool fight scenes and training montages, theres a lot of life lessons that taught me important things back then 👍🏽
This was one of ther earlier mma influenced movies. And i was getting into mma and probably close to signing up at my first mma gym. This was really hyped among me and a couple friends.
Never back down 2 was such a weird departure from the first one and a lower quality. I highly recommend the Undisputed movies. The first one is a straight prison boxing movie but the rest turn into MMA. The protagonist changes with each movie but the third and fourth star Scott Adkins and Boyka: Undisputed goes hard
So if you want to know more about that roundhouse kick to the face at the end, it is practical, but when it is that close, it was most likely a hand that they put a shoe on, then did a close up shot, making it look like a kick to the face. That is a trick they do in Jackie Chan movies and other martial arts films.
Yeah, as far as all Jake’s moves and efficient skills with jiu jitsu, he trained, in movie time at least, for like 2 and a half months. Now, I’m not a trained fighter, buuuuut, I do think, even with quick learners, it takes a little longer than 3 months to get THAT good. But everyone’s different I guess 🤷🏻♂️ as far as the sweat, I’m thinking that was just a continuity error. Cause as anyone who’s trained jiu jitsu or really any fight discipline knows, it’s A LOT of cardio. So you will be drenched in sweat pretty much the whole time
Sensei seth gives his interpretation of a movie he hasn't seen, and doesn't know what happens. Top tier entertainment for real.... but everything was wrong.
@@senseisethreacts me too, but i remember much more from movie. It is almost like you never saw it. It was like watching movie, with my mother, who is she? What happened? Like are we watching the same stuff? :D
@@senseisethreactsThere is three of these movies Michael Jai White is in the other two he has black belts in 8 arts and has done point and full contact Karate and has done martial arts most of his life two of his best movies are Blood and Bone and Undisputed 2.
This was the best "Never back down", even though it wasn't that good. The other ones that came after are just so bad. The story of the movie is essentially, main guy moves around a lot because he keeps getting into fights. His dad died because he let his dad drive drunk and he crashed. He ends up going to a school where there is an underground fight scene, and the main antagonist is the best fighter in the school. Amber Heard is the girlfriend of antagonist, but is into the main character for no real reason. After going to a party (early in the movie still) the main character gets his ass kicked by the antagonist. Buddy finds a MMA that will train him, and thus begins the Rocky training montage shit. Blah blah blah.. Quicksilver gets his teeth kicked in by the antagonist, thus forcing the MC into a underground fighting tournament. They expected to fight in the finals, but the antagonist got disqualified for an illegal blow and the MC quits.. They then fight in the parking lot and the movie is over.. It is pretty shit.
I remember watching this as a kid and not understanding the moves. I started watching MMA/UFC in my early 20s and when I rewatched this it was a completely different movie.
The movie is actually very underate specially on the training montages, the fighting might not be the most realistic for pepole who train and fight but, it's entertaining. Much better than the second one, that michael jay white is just horrible to see as an mma coach, bu the guy playing Jean Roqa is actually pretty good at pretending to be a martial arts coach, not pretending to be a tough guy like michael white or this, unbeatable guy...
Do the break down of never back down 2: the breakdown 🤣 it needs to be a series I watched this movie so many times when I was a teenager and thought I was super cool 😂
Godammit Seth im about to piss myself laughin....Everytime you did a contact to your face take ....i got this , ( hummer fight , seth pushes the one seth, then googly eye turns to face the other seth who punches him ) ...>push< >turns< >PUNCH!video cuts< GET MORE OF THE THINGS YOU NEED DONE WITH HARBOR FRIEGHT!" hahahah
The Capoeira guy in the fight club scene, I know him personally. Used to train with him in Orlando (which is where this movie takes place). Don't let this scene fool you though. He would've more than likely kicked the other guys head off in real life. Just sayin'.
Choreographed by 87eleven stunts (aka the team behind John Wick and The Bourne series) with assistance and technical advising by Erik Paulson (legendary MMA coach). Brilliant modern take on the karate kid!
My guess is that the roundhouse kick is actually just a guy's arm with his hand in the shoe. That's how they did it in all the old school kung fu movies
The choreography reminds me of Ip Man. Not realistic, heavily stylized, but they did their homework. A balance between cool factor and incorporating real stuff not in previous choreography. If only NBD had a real story to make you invested.
The bad kid was actually Daniel on y&r for a little while before he was replaced with another actor. Probably for the best. He dose not look like he would have let JT bully him. He looks like he would have kicked JT ass, other actor not so much.
Brother you gotta watch the movie before you review it. He put his shirt back on because he did not fight yet in the movie it was a mistake they thought he called his name and that’s why they had that face-off in the beginning.
Dude, you should react to No Retreat no Surrender, awsome movie, Van Damme is a russian villain, the protagonist pray for Bruce Lee, so Bruce Lee ghost appear, train the kid in karate so he can save Seatle Karate scene from the Russian mafia.

This movie came out in '08.. RUclips was only in its 4th year at the time where 30k views is the equivalent of 1m views today. I made my first youtube account in '07 when I was in grade 6 and can vividly remember the old youtube format and how 99% of videos uploaded were truly home-made videos with generally bad audio and 480p was eye candy to the typical 240/360p.. Probably less than quarter of a percent of videos made it passed 100k views at the time- with far less saturation with the lack of content creators compared to today. There's probably more channels today with a million subs than there were channels back then with 25k subs. Just a totally different era of youtube.
You gotta do some Power Rangers. Jason David Frank as Tommy, Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam, Austin St.John as Jason, Steve Cardenas as Rocky, and Walter Emanuel Jones as Zack
Id love to see Sensei Seth react to the opening fight scene in season 1 episode 1 of Into the Badlands. Could be fun But then again theres always The Raid (honestly pick a fight from the 1st movie. They are all great but I love the hallway fight)
This movie ain’t exactly good and is very cheesy, but it’s a guilty pleasure of mine forsure lol. This is probably the 2nd best mma movie after Warrior, but only because Warrior is the only actual objectively good mma movie that’s been made. I’ll say NBD is half decent. It’s especially super cheesy now since I’ve actually been training and competing in mma for a few years now 😂

It mirrors it quite closely and I love it
It 100% is.
Just like No Retreat No Surrender was Cory Yuen's version.
The title might be a Nod to the CoryYuen film.
Wait, Never back down is basically modern day mma karate kid
I’m sure Kim Bo slice was a huge reason they made this movie. They even put up the dance fight scene unedited so people thought it was real.
Oh yeah, it was taken by one of the extras in the crowd I think and was labeled "Marine KOs Capoeira fighter" or something like that LOL!
It’s basically karate kid
Kid moves to a new town
With a single mother
Gets bullied by douchebag
Gets with douchebags girl
Learns martial arts from mysterious man.
Fights douchebag In tournament.
Wins by kick to the face.
You should breakdown the second movie, which has Micheal Jai White with traditional karate and mma
Not ashamed to say, this film inspired me to get into MMA. 12 years later, I'm still training, but I can see I was lucky I didn't become an ass 😂
Yeah same here 😂
The leg catching technique is fine if he raises his hand above his head instead of starting so low like you said.
Also he's gotta move with the kick.
Varga does it all the time.
Never Back Down = Awful
Never Back Down 2 = somehow worse

•Stranger Things - plane karate fight
•Coriolanus - ending knife fight scene

I made my first youtube account in '07 when I was in grade 6 and can vividly remember the old youtube format and how 99% of videos uploaded were truly home-made videos with generally bad audio and 480p was eye candy to the typical 240/360p.. Probably less than quarter of a percent of videos made it passed 100k views at the time- with far less saturation with the lack of content creators compared to today. There's probably more channels today with a million subs than there were channels back then with 25k subs. Just a totally different era of youtube.
You gotta do some Power Rangers. Jason David Frank as Tommy, Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam, Austin St.John as Jason, Steve Cardenas as Rocky, and Walter Emanuel Jones as Zack
Id love to see Sensei Seth react to the opening fight scene in season 1 episode 1 of Into the Badlands. Could be fun
But then again theres always The Raid (honestly pick a fight from the 1st movie. They are all great but I love the hallway fight)
This movie ain’t exactly good and is very cheesy, but it’s a guilty pleasure of mine forsure lol. This is probably the 2nd best mma movie after Warrior, but only because Warrior is the only actual objectively good mma movie that’s been made. I’ll say NBD is half decent. It’s especially super cheesy now since I’ve actually been training and competing in mma for a few years now 😂
NHB match but there are rules also when the fight hits the concrete I think eye gouges and kick to nuts and biting are ok
Have you watched Warrior, starring Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, and Nick Nolte? If you haven't, I really recommend it.
All i remember from this movie is them doing the thing...saying the title of the movie, in the movie!! NEVER BACK DOWN!
IT'S A SHOE ON A STUNT GUY'S ARM! I know that trick. That's how they did the kick. Look closely, and you can sort of see the wrist.
