What makes it different from others?

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

In Urban Fight AKA Street Gangs a man walks into a room and people sprint at him and punch him: this occurs not once, not even a few times but constantly throughout the film. He punches them back and dropkicks them and hits them with bottles and chairs, veering between cowboy barroom brawls, mixed martial arts and Ninja stuff. But in each of these rooms, when he enters there are already people violently fighting each other everywhere, sometimes these fights preclude his entrance for a minute or so, sometimes we follow him into the middle of them. Either way nothing is explained, nobody apparently has any motive whatsoever for beating others to death. If by chance anyone should find himself in an empty room he will punch walls and smash furniture until someone arrive who he can drop-kick. They are Germans and it is all done in poor German English. No native speaker has looked over the script and pointed out where the language is clumsy and unnatural. This failing shows more because it is a fight film and everyone is supposed to be very hard and very cool, but speaks like lab technicians from old news reports about German technology. "They say he won this tournament three times in succession." "Then maybe it is time when even this is changing."The hero, the one we are meant to identify with starts off wearing a 1970's hair metal fan out fit, faded denim, long poodle topped brown hair and a red head scarf, later on he seems to have developed close cropped hair and wears prison clothes, there may be a reason for this. He looks disconcertingly like Thom Yorke, and a low budget German fight movie in which Thom Yorke speaks like a 70s German lab technician is what this is. The film makers were short on money and ideas so his training montage lasts 20 minutes. There are three or four such montages, each of this length. Likewise they were short on friends so the heavies are largely played by their mates who look like teenage idiots. The few who look hard are constantly on screen. This all happens in a run down post industrial town surrounded by beautiful countryside in which every resident male or female is a mixed martial arts specialist He goes into a factory to fight a man, as he enters the other guy is randomly beating up co workers, the hero and he fight, when they take a rest the other starts beating up other people again, breaking one young woman's back, then suddenly everybody in the factory is beating everybody else in brutally balletic ninja fashion, for no reason whatsoever people are flying through windows, smashing into metal stands and slamming into walls. Then the hero gets up and starts attacking all of these people too, and the villain has never stopped attacking them. If the hero knocks the villain over then whoever the villain was attacking immediately turns and attacks the hero. Everybody in every space is constantly brutally attacking every body else and no one ever questions why. This is absolutely accurate, without comic exaggeration or even any sense that we are watching some metaphorical treatment of a futile battle for life. Somewhere a German shouted fight, and everybody did till the battery on his cheap camera ran down.

First of all, this movie is not about a great story or acting at a Shakespeare level. This movie is about fights, action and pure martial arts. Urban Fighter is a real old school martial arts action movie, mixed with fresh influences from Banlieue 13 and Ong Bak. I was very surprised to see a martial arts movie coming from Germany at all and then such a good one. I have read a quote from Isaac Florentine (the director of Ninja and Undisputed 2+3) on the DVD cover before I bought it. It say's "Mike Möller is the European answer to Jet Li and Tony Jaa". What can I say, in terms of martial arts, I have to agree!!! In terms of story and acting the movie unfortunately is mediocre at best. It is the fights and stunts, which makes that movie unique. But honestly, who of us has watched the early Van Damme, Lundgren or Seagal movies for their story or their "good" acting??

Well where can i start , it all turned to worse when the FAKE WIG appeared. main character remembers past events that brought him to hes current situation only back then he sports a laughable wig on his head and all chance of a good review was lost ... he looks like Joe Dirt ... well that's it no story to be found , and well topped with all the musts bad acting tacky lines clinches ( they did the rocky and van-dame moves they killed my best friend thing amongst others ) anyways the wig!!! cheers seriously this is my first review this was so bad i actually took the time to create the account and warn you guys i wasn't expecting a masterpiece but this is pretty low . they did have a decent camera work some good moments

well, what can i say, if you like to watch fight after fight, then this film might be watchable, but i got to tell you, even the fighting carried out quite nicely but you might get tired soon since the screenplay was such a hollow and pointless premise, a bad fantasy of a lawless city and the main character acted like a robotic fighting machine, playing by a martial arts master whose height was the shortest one in this film, so every opponent he faced in a fight was like a giant, more like David against Goliath but, he always won in the end. there's almost no storyline in this movie, the acting of all the participants were terrible. it's quite boring to keep watching he beat up all of his opponents and as the same time, been beaten up by his opponents again and again. this is a film without a soul. you just paid for the fighting one after another, watching but numbly.
