I've been caught in that submission on the ground. Very surprising and hard to foresee when you're grappling.

 

I just watched Mel Gibson finish a dude off with the triangle choke in the movie Lethal Weapon from 22 years ago! Wow! Mel was so ahead of the times. He just oozes coolness!

That fight was choreographed by Rorion Gracie.

 

Cool. But why did they have Rorion specifically choreograph it? I never watched Lethal Weapon series but I'm assuming Mel Gibson's character was supposed to be a master in martial arts? I thought choreography in most Hollywood movies in the 80s was mostly just a lot of punching and kicking. Heck even kung fu and martial arts movies were mostly punching and kicking and the odd choke. Never any submission maneuvers or anything.

 

i dunno, but i thought he was referring to the MMA fight......the submission was so perfect that you couldn't have choreographed it any better

 

I don't remember the story exactly. I think he was in Hollywood, doing what all of the Gracie's were trying to do around that time; convince the world that BJJ was the best. Eventually, after he did the work for that movie, he got the ball rolling for the UFC.

 

I was going to read further, but this just sucked the testosterone out of the thread.
