'Kung Fu U:' Kimbo Slice and Hulk Hogan to co-star in children's movie

Believe it or not, Elite XC heavyweight fighter, bodyguard and street fighting legend, Kimbo Slice, is going to be the next mixed martial artist to test the movie industry waters. It was announced today that he will co-star alongside Hulk Hogan in a new children's movie titled, "Kung Fu U."
It's a feel-good, Disney-type movie, which is a massive departure from any "Reality Kings"-produced film sets that he may have policed in the past.
The basic plot is that several nerdy rich kids get shipped off to a boarding school where Slice and the Hulkster teach self defense. The kids learn how to defend themselves and somewhere along the way end up having to defend their instructors as well.
Stereo Vision Entertainment -- a company focused entirely on 3D children's movies -- is producing the film, which is due to hit theaters sometime next fall.
Here's a snip from Stereo Vision Chairman Doug Schwartz:
"We're very happy to have Kimbo Slice co-starring in 'Kung Fu U.' He has an enormous media presence, and he'll fit right in with our star Hulk Hogan, and the other cast members in our made for kids 3D movie. We hope to have 'Kung Fu U' in 3D in theaters by the fall of '09."
This is a movie meant to send a positive message to kids. There's no harm in that. It just seems weird that a guy with so many ties to the adult film industry would be cast in a children's film.

I continue to be amazed at the life Kimbo has built for himself by beating people up in his backyard. Its truly amazing to think where he was a year and a half ago and where he is now. What a remarkable story….when its all said and done, someone should make a movie about his life. THey can let D-ray play Kimbo. lol

If we force captured Taliban/terrorists to watch Kung Fu U and Never Back Down on an endless loop they’ll be begging to tell us everything they know in one afternoon. Or does that violate international humanitarian treaties?

When EliteXC goes under and Kimbo’s career is in the toilet he will make a good professional wrestlet. Mark my words he will be in the WWE in 2 years.

Yeah , great for the kids
They can tell their mom, “I want to be like Kimbo”. And the kids can say how can how did kimbo get where he did? she can say, “honey, all you have to do is work for a pornographic movie company and/or be homeless….then go and challenge fat, out of shape people and bet money on it. You go to back yards, parking lots, etc and you beat them into a bloody pulp, while having your crew film it” No hard work or anything you want your kid to follow in. This is a shame for young kids to look up to
What a crock. Not even a good fighter. I know people that have done some illegal shit that could fight a hell of a lot better than him. Maybe they should of started filming it and having a criminal organization follow him around and bet money on it

Are you sure it’s not going to be a remake of the 1989 epic “No Holds Barred” with Kimbo as the role of Zues as originaly played by Tommy ‘Tiny Lister’ Jr?

kimbo doesn’t have that warm fuzzy, friendly, nice, freshly bathed look. good luck with that. is he going to do something about that absurd manscaping job he has going on? i don’t know how funny he is, he wasn’t doing alot of laughing in the porn vids in was in a year and half ago.

Tell me seriously that you wouldn’t let Brooke Hogan put you in a triangle, on the assumption that she’s 18 and that her father wouldn’t find out?!

Brooks 19. She is ok! Nothing too special. I would rather be with my girl any day. Sometimes when I look at Brook, she resembles the Hulkster too much, and thats a big turn off!
I herethat she is thinking about doing playboy!

They will need one of those three page fold outs to get her in frame. She’s huge.

Yeah, she is like 6 feet tall. Nice body though. I wouldn’t care if Hulk found out, outside of the WWE, I am kicking his old crippled ass. haha

First it was Mr. T, then it was Zeus, now it’s Kimbo. Hulkster’s cast more black actors than Spike Lee.

I really want my kid to see a movie with 2 great American idols – Kimbo, a scumbag street brawler that is a bouncer for internet porn sites, & Hulk Hogan, a has been wrestler whose immediate family is in a complete debacle (his wife left him for a 19 y/o & his son is behind bars for a few months and won’t even apologize to the person he injured in his car accident

Shouldn’t it be “haterness” because “hatterness” pertains to a HAT, like a bowler hat? Hehe!!

kimbos in a new movie called blood and bones .. i have posted a long comment with links to info on the movie . but it wont show up on this page.. this site has issues .

Highagain, just out of pure curiosity, when did you first start following MMA? Before you fire off any Kimbo “hatter” accusations, I’m simply asking a question.
I imagine that if your link didn’t show up it might be because no one gives a shit about some terrible Kimbo flick since this is an MMA forum, not Fergy’s MySpace page. Maybe.
This site doesn’t have “issues”, bro. Just standards.

been watchin mma longer then you . im 25 now. i first started watchin mma 12-14 years ago.. my buddies dad had ufc 1 & 2 on vhs tape. like everyone else royce gracie blew are minds.
and that movie Blood and Bone with kimbo also has bob sapp and gina coarno and others including A whole lot of really good fighters. the movie is gonna be a sick fight movie.
btw last i checked this ISNT a mma forum “bro” Its a news site where you can post comments. Big Difference.

Okay, we’ve estabilshed your MMA cridentials, now what about complete inability write a coherent statement.
I can understand a few mistakes here and there but come on, did you even go to school?
Oh, I get it. You’re too high to remember when to capitalize a letter and when not to. May I suggest that you put the bong down for a minute and try again.

Poor Kimbo, so much hate towards the guy and he’s actually a stand up guy. It’s ok Kimbo, fame comes with hate, and even though they’ll say you don’t deserve it, they’re just jelous someone came out of the gettho and is now a 6 figure n____ as you put it. Keep on rolling man, I know you are overhyped, I know you are overrated, but I know it’s not your fault, you’re going for the money and if they’re offering why not take it? Good stuff, as someone above said it, Kimbo is the new Mr. T.

Who cares? If you don’t like him,don’t watch the movie! I’m not going to see it, but good for him! What do some of you guys think, that he should turn down work and $$$ b/c you don’t approve of him? The hype is NOT his fault! Kimbo, keep doing what you’re doing, the hate will be there regardless. And if Reality Kings is looking to fill your old job, give ’em my name and number.

linx and Chef: I completely agree! None of you haters would ever turn down this kind of money because you feel that you “dont deserve it”, so why hate on him for it?

Hey john, just out of curiosity arn’t you a hater too? I have seen you hate on fighters way way better than kimbo for a long time.
So honestly, should you be calling people “haters” on every kimbo thread?

Kimbo is literally living the American Dream.
A nobody who has catapulted himself to fame (whether or not the fame is deserved is another story).
Amazing.
Only in America, baby.

by Curtis on Jul 31, 2008 8:29 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah or done illegal shit to “catapult him into fame”
and what is even funnier is the “Kimbo hater, haters” that stick up for him and defend every negative thing said about him. It is like they are one of his unknown kids. I never seen so many people cry and stick up for someone they never knew and probably will never meet. I could see if he did somethign great for the country or was someone taht could be respected for things he has done for the country, etc, etc… But he is a criminal that went around with a porno company doing illegal acts. Yes, fighting in parking lots, backyards and filming it is illegal. Wow, taht is a great model to look up to???? If we are supposed to be happy, then why not be happy for the major narcotics dealers taht grew up in poverty, only to make millions doing something illegal
by fightfan on Jul 31, 2008 9:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ok, one question, what crimes did kimbo commit? He didn’t go on a truck and crash into cars and ran away and drove on side walks. you say fighting in backyards and all is illegal? from my understanding, and of course I’m no lawyer, as long as two ppl are in agreement a fight is not illegal, may be immature but not illegal, but of course I may be wrong. I just defend the dude because he may not be captain america but he’s not a criminal, ppl offer him money and he takes it, what’s wrong with that? If I was in the same position I’d gladly take all that dough and be laughing my @$$ off. Not to mention that he’s a cool cat. Ppl bring him hate for no reason, only because many are in$ecured he’ll bring bad attention to MMA, when it’s not true. just my 2 cents…

Yeah and dont fault the drug dealers by making money and addicted junkies, right?? Good for them? What should they do, say no to the money and send them to the next one, or help them find sobriety?

thanks OJR, fightfan, was Kimbo a drug dealer, am I missing something? how do you compare taking money to drug dealers, if you’re against taking money than you should quit your job (whatever it is you do).
by linx on Jul 31, 2008 11:01 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of course fighting in backyards is illegal! it doesn’t matter if they both agree, boxing in your back yard is illegal with head gear on.

so how come he didn’t get in trouble for it? there is plenty of evidence online…

True enough, it just seems pretty dumb to be filming a movie when he’s got a fight coming up in a couple months. Shouldn’t he be training if he’s really serious about being a legit mma HW? This guys becoming a joke..
by O damn he got caught on Jul 31, 2008 10:53 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He will never be a legit MMA guy. But he needs to make his $$$ before his 15 minutes of fame are up. I would do the same thing. Wouldn’t anyone?
by OJR on Jul 31, 2008 11:03 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think he’s doing all that he can to get most out of it, we all know kimbo isn’t going to be an elite fighter, his days at winning will come to an end once he gets a legit opponent, so he’s securing his future. I’d be doing the same thing…
