BUMFIGHTS
Vol. 1
A Cause For Concern
(2001)
Starring a couple of bums




Shocking.  And it takes a lot to shock me.  Although some scenes were
disappointing.  After hearing about this "movie" on the internet, I was
ready for some homeless people attacking each other in a sort of real-life
WWE.  However, most of the fights involved teens in after school scuffles.
Where this really shines is in the bums and crackheads we spend time getting
to know.  There's Rufus, who becomes the stuntbum for the filmmakers.  He'll
run into signs and get pushed down a hill in a shopping cart and whatever
else you'd like him to do.  And there's another bum who we never really
learn the name of, but he was willing to tattoo "Bumfights" in big bold
letters across his forehead.

And how could I forget Bling Bling, who tells us of his expertise in smoking
crack, and after taking a hit, he sings for us, opening his toothless maw
wide.  And the elderly tattooed freak who feels the need to show us his
"little dick" and then informs us he's "mentally disturbed ...  from the
military!".

I could do without most of the fighting scenes, and the parody "Bumhunter"
left a bad taste in my mouth.  I really can't explain too much more of
this - you'll have to see it yourself.  But it'll be tough to get certain
images out of your head after viewing.
