Should have been set in the florabama.

Was that Conner Macgregor? And was he bigger than he's ever been?


Yes. He was clearly on roids. He's now trying to cut off all that roid weight to get ready for a fight this summer in the UFC.

Literally my first thought. Panhandle would have made some sort of sense. This is stupid

Trailer looked fun though

Agreed. Dalton should be putting some fat idiot in an Auburn PFG in a chokehold somewhere in Panama City.

And here I thought Conor McGregor would be a terrible choice, but after seeing the preview he seems perfect for that role.

I love Conor McGregor, I think he's a likeable guy in a lot of ways, but he is a natural a-hole. He brings credibility to the role as a real fighter and a surly prick.

McGregor has charisma for days and put on 200lbs of HGH muscle after he broke his ankle. Of course he would be great in this, especially with Lyman as the director.

I just always figured he was going to be the Sam Elliott character from the set shots. Never even Considered him as the villain, but of course it makes perfect sense now.

As for the bar owner chick in the movie. I'll only say this:

I'm sure there are thousands of 27 yr old black females who look like a model and own and shithole dive biker bar in the Fla Keys.... Like... Hundreds of thousands...


As for the theatrical release, this is an absolute travesty it isnt getting a theatrical run. With the proper marketing around a big UFC event and in the middle of the summer when ppl are dying to go see something at the movies, this would have been a $100M+ movie very easily.

Bezos can dump $1B into his shithole Rings of Power series but won't release an actual good film in cinemas. The guy is just evil.

Love the original.

This looks like shite.

Start with Gyllenhaal's weak voice, add in the black broad bar owner, and UFC shite while taking away the hot blondes showing their tits and I'll rate it a hard pass.

Welp, most of the comments liked that trailer a lot more than I did. Don't like it being in the keys and not sure about Gyllenhaal being the lead. I'll watch it though McGregor's character looks fun.
