Movie Reviews of Ultimate Fighting Championship Classics, Vol. 2
Movie Review: UFC 2 : Better Fighters, Same Result
Summary: 4 Stars
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 2 once again takes place in Denver, Colorado, but at a different arena. This time there are 16 fighters, instead of 8, with the winner receiving $60,000. It is a tournament again with Style vs Style. And Royce Gracie is back, to defend his tournament win from UFC 1. Will he do it?
The DVD starts off with a recap of 7 of the preliminary bouts. The 3 announcers quickly go over the 14 fighters, their styles and who won. For me, this was the only real disappointing thing about the DVD. I don't see why they did not put all the fights on the DVD. I can see why during the PPV for time constraints, but this is a DVD, and there is room for it. Later, in the Special Features section of the DVD, they show 3 of the fights, but we still miss out on 4.
After the recap, they show the 8th bout of the tournament: Minoki Ichihara (Karate) vs Royce Grace (Jiu-Jitsu). Royce quickly takes Minoki down, and eventually submits him by armbar.
Next comes a recap of the differnt styles that will be on display in the Quarterfinals. They show a short segment on each of the 5 styles: Karate, Kickboxing, Kung Fu, Grapplers, and Exotics (ninja). This was informative for any new fans out there.
Now the Quarterfinal Matchups:
Scott Morris (ninja) vs Pat Smith (Kickboxing)
Johnny Rhodes (Karate) vs Fred Ettish (Karate)
Orlando Weit (Kickboxing) vs Remco Pardoel (grappler)
Jason DeLucia (Kung Fu) vs Royce Gracie (Jiu-Jitsu)
There were some great matchups in this UFC with some crazy knockouts and cool submissions. The ending to the Remco/Orlando fight is worth watching this DVD alone. The announcing team were a little better this UFC, but definitely not up to the fluidity that we currently see on Spike or the PPV's. This UFC also featured the debut of Big John McCarthy as the referee. I felt bad for the guy, because he refs every single bout.
For UFC 2, the disc still lacks alot of features. There are the fights, and then a Special Features section. The Special Features has an interview with Hall of Famer Royce Gracie,and then a Bonus Fights/Alternate Angles Part. But as I mentioned before, they only show 3 of the 7 preliminary bouts.
Overall, a great experience for the mixed martial arts fan of the "early days".
Summary of Ultimate Fighting Championship Classics, Vol. 2
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/06/2007Volume two of these classic bouts from the early and mid-'90s includes fierce matchups between UFC superstar Royce Gracie and Jason Delucia (Gracie's own form of Jiu-Jitsu vs. Delucia's Kung Fu), a rare karate/karate brawl between Johnny Rhodes and Fred Ettish, along with more bloody kickboxing, Ninjitsu, Judo, Grappling, and Muay Thai that you can shake a barbed wire-wrapped stick at. The showcase is Ultimate Fighting's distinctive "Steel Octagon," where the bodies flail like rag dolls and the blood always flows freely. The production values of this vicious collection are none too professional and feel delightfully dated. The commentary is contagiously over-the-top (with Jim Brown again in the guest commentator hot seat) especially when the violence is at its peak. That's pretty much all the time, which makes UFC for die-hard, guts-of-steel fans only. --Ted Fry
