"In
the UK suburbs an underground tournament is set to challenge twelve
fighters from different backgrounds to compete for the prize of £500,000.
They have been handpicked for a no holds barred competition that will
push each fighter to their limit."

Underground.
"Each
fighter has their own reason for competing, and each will give everything
they've got to take the prize"
Underground
is an exciting new British action film from the producers of "Displaced",
and features some of the UK's best fighters, including Mark Strange,
Fidel Nanton, Nathan Lewis, Joey Ansah, Rebecca Herod, Liang Yang, Beau
Fowler and Leon Sua, whose credits include 'James Bond', 'Batman Begins',
'The Last Samurai' and Jet Li's 'Fearless' amongst others. Visit the
site below for more information.
I was
called upon to play a punter gambling on the final fight, and screaming
at my fighter to win - I was hoarse by the end of the day's shoot, and
lost my voice for a few days afterwards. When you see it look out for
Danny John-Jules - The Cat from Red Dwarf - as he also appears in the
film. Filming took just a few short months - Great fun and a honour
to appear in - and as with "Displaced" much of the filming
took place on location within the North West of England.
