For serious fans

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2016

A window in time to the early 2000's fight scene. Cheesy rap/rock nu-metal soundtrack does it no favors but some of the interviews and fights are good. It's an interesting time in the sport but probably only serious fans would really enjoy. I did enjoy it, btw.

Outstanding

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2007

I remember this well, this was when MMA was still being called the term NHB(No-Holds-Barred) and examines fights around the world. You see glimpses of true Vale Tudo in Brazil, where headbutts, knees and elbows really don't have the rulings and restrictions held in UFC and Pride, and is closest to a street fight as there are no gloves. This is the highlight if you can't seem to find fights from Brazil.

Fights around the world here in bare knuckle MMA, showed the interviews of each fighters mentality in the ring/cage, and their backgrounds.

You'll see originators here, Frank Shamrock, Enson Inoue, Randy Couture, Kevin Randleman.

It's a look into early MMA, the views before UFC blew up onto basic cable reruns, and is violent in examining the growing pains. You can tell these were the early years as today most professional fighters are very well balanced in all aspects.

Somewhere In Time

barely worth the time it takes to watch!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2005

not only was this poorly done as a documentary, most of it seems to play out as a wwe promo video with lots of a-typical aggressive rap and "metal" music playing during most match highlights. this video is not even close to being as professional, atmospheric, and entertaining as "the smashing machine" and "choke". altogether it may be worth a rent (depending on if you think you can tolerate the horribly overdubbed music), but is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH BUYING!!! the only redeeming quality about this dvd is the interviews with some of the fighters like jackson, cotoure, and randleman- but then the film turns right around and portrays a meat-headed view of the sport. not good at all. anyone with a camera and access to the fighters could have accomplished the same product.

One of my favorite NHB docs

One of my favorite NHB docs. Got a good length to it and its pretty entertaining. The enson section is my favorite, dude really had the mind of a warrior. Gives a whole new insight to what its like for fighters that put it on the line and why. Awesome.

Great mix of fights and fighters

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2006

Great collection of fight highlights from all over - Hawaii, Japan, Brazil, US, etc. Some fights are professionally filmed, others are rough single hand-held cameras in crude conditions, much like the fighters themselves. Worth it for the interviews alone - no talking heads, just the fighters telling their stories. For some it's almost a religious calling, for others it's their only chance to make it out dire poverty and the wrong side of the law. Smart, sad, inspiring and brutal. Lot's a short clips from fights and fighters I've only read about. Wish it were longer.

Good look at MMA Director Bobby Razak Early Work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2012

Anyone who follows the MMA world closely knows that Bobby Razak is recognized as the number one MMA Director in the world. He founded Tapout Films so he does all the TapOut commercials and has done some excellent Mixed Martial Arts documentaries about Cain Velasquez, George St. Pierre among others. I have been a big fan of his work so I was very excited to find this early film of his from way back in 2001! This film shows how far the sport has come from non acceptance to national explosion. I enjoyed the interviews from fighters from this period and I would recommend this film to any big fan of Mixed Martial Arts, especially the early days when there were alot less rules!

A Beyond the Mat type movie for NHB fans

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2003

This is a great 2 disc video of the history of NHB fighting. Very well made and has several extra's including behind the scenes with Mark Coleman and Kevin Randleman. Well worth the money.
