Ultimate Fights

The fine people who brought you the blood-and-guts mix tape called Boogeymen (that’d be FlixMix) have returned with an all-new roundup guaranteed to bruise your DVD player. Ultimate Fights, as the title hints, brings together all kinds of cool fight scenes from a slew of badass movies. There’s some kung-fu dust-ups courtesy of Jackie Chan in Legend of Drunken Master and Jet Li in Fist of Legend, hot sword clashes fresh from Gladiator and Blade, and even the obligatory bullet ballet from master of the art form John Woo.

FlixMix, like they did the first time, throw in some cool features and games to distract you in case the endless brutality gets too much—pussy—there’s commentary from fight choreographer James Lew (Timecop, The Replacement Killers), a featurette on staging your own movie fight, and even a way to pick you personal Top Five and play them back in the order you choose. Just as Boogeymen provided a cool backdrop to your Halloween party, Ultimate Fights will lend a funky bass line to, um, your next Fight Club meeting, perhaps? Oops…we’re not supposed to talk about that, are we?
