some middle class bored teenagers thought it would be a good idea to see what homeless people will do for money - rip out teeth with pliers etc - have 'bumfights' tatooed on their heads. from what ive seen on the internet - they show lots of real fights too that people film and send into them.

I have downloaded both. They are a bit sick in places. Especially when the fights go way too far and people are getting stamped on the head and stuff. Other than that its pretty shit. Especially 'bumhunter'. Thats boring as fuck. Bumfights 2 is on par with Bumfights 1 i'd say. The fight in 2 at the start near the phoneboxes is sick, the tramp is jumping on this guys face when he's down, blood pissing from his face and all sorts.

It's not even based entirely on tramps. Most of it is random fighting in car parks. Plus the tramps are willing so there isnt a problem. Yes its degrading but they are tramps, cant get more degrading then that really.

tbh, even though its sick a twisted this whole thing....its pure genius of the lads to do something like this, as it shows real life reality stuff rather than the crap you get when people are locked up in a house etc etc
Plus the whole project shows what people would do for money (pretty much anything) and they obviously saw this as a place in the market for the rest of weird sickos...so they made money out of it.
However, the 3-11s, took the whole thing to far, especially with chasing people down to beat them to death

Oh yea, it is really intersting. It's basically an experiment on society, and it shows how low people will go just for money. The sad thing is, is, the government and police were blaming the kids for putting the bums through all that shit, but to be honest, most of them were war veterans, who's fault is it that they are on the streets? Oh yea, thats another case of the American government fucking up again.

TBH i dont blame the kids, all americans aim to live 'the american dream' where your rich and powerful and can have anything u want. ther put under so much pressure to succeed.
the boys are as said before, very smart, the way they went about things, not REALLY breaking any laws is very impressive, and to be able to source the fund to distribute a DVD WORLDWIDE is also impressive.
i dont really feel it is THAT wrong, i feel that the tramps r the way they are, coz they wana sue (typical america, money grabbers). if u look at that barney bloke, if it weren for bumfights, hed stil b a drunk on the street goin nowhere, now hes straight, doesnt drink, has a home a job etc. so its helped him out!
yes the 3-11 boys are cunts, because thats al pre meditated and planned. but what the producers of bumfights was not. the street fighting like he said, is reality, they were school boy fights, this happen all over hte world everyday, jus so happened that he videod it and sold it, so what?
good luck 2 him i spose, see hes now got a ho's, crack addict and mentaly ill person DVD out too

Ryan McPhereson and his co-producers are all millionaires from that video, which I think they really deserve.
Like Dave said, it's really impressive how a school kid with a video camera and a few hundred bucks can make millions......very clever indeed.
