It's Rumbles Come to Life!

[Corrina]

Solving the eternal riddle of who will win:

Knights or Pirates?

Yakuza or Gangsters?

Russian Special Forces or Green Berets?

Spike Channel's the Deadliest Warrior is just, well, kinda sick. But also very, very fun.

*Incidentally it's:
Pirates. Blunderbuss for the edge.
Gangsters. Tommy Gun rules.
Russian Special Forces. The spring loaded knife gives them the edge. Plus the fact that their training is so brutal that people die during it.

Who else is watching?

And, yes, I'm waiting for Pirates vs. Ninjas. :)

I would not be at all surprised if a current or former Rumbles poster were involved with that show creatively.

I'm waiting for them to do a superhero episode, using the stuff from the movies.

Batman vs. Iron Man!

Superman vs. Transformers!

As if the mob would settle for sending a dude with an ice pick. Guns and car bombs seem to be more their style, more often than not.

Well, the real Yakuza probably wouldn't send a guy with a sai, either.

You just reminded me of how bad-ass the movie Black Rain really is, sir.

I lost faith in their ability to determine the winner when the Russian Spetsnaz pulled a Ballistic knife, a difficult weapon My dad once owned (before it was confiscated by the police) , It cannot be used as a regular knife, It takes forever to reload, and it misses a human sized target, over half the time.

It's a fun novelty, but otherwise it is a piece of shit.

Nah, thems for Greek ninjas.

They did account for the bombs.

They were using Italian mobsters but those of the Al Capone era. Therefore, molotov cocktails.

Basically, they list a bunch of weapons on each side, try them all out in person to determine how deadly they are, then they run a computer simulation with all the data 100 times to sort out the winner. At the same time, they also have a live-action 'real' scene with the big battle.

IIRC, the key to the Italian mobsters winning was the accuracy of the Tommy Gun. And I agree with you about the ballistic knife but that one Russian guy who was trained sure knew how to use it.

Man, he was scary, the Russian dude. I kept giving him internal dialogue. "Amerika! They pay me money to appear on TV to show how I killed people for Russia. What a country!"

It is true that the Russian machine guns were a better weapon than the American equivalent. The AK's jam less.

I lived in a part of Korea that catered to the Russian and Korean mafias for three years. Does that add anything to this conversation? I don't recall any gang wars, but they frequented the bars. Last I heard, the Korean government cracked down on the frequency of prostitution in the country, thereby limited the flow of said activities.

Huh. Hard to believe I graduate from high school there after I said such things.

Thank you.

Isn't this the show that has the IRA vs the Taliban?

So basically the show is going to talk about both groups and how bad ass they are for a tv hour(minus comercials) then pick a winner?

Are both of these groups CRIMINAL TERROISTS???? With lots of innocent bystander deaths attributed to each??



...sorry, saying no. Period.
