Winston Duke cast as Kimbo Slice in biopic titled 'Backyard Legend'

[Devilinurear]

i'm skeptical but curious to see what they do with this. wouldn't surprise me if they hold back his past stuff and sanitize it to make it a feel good story.

We are deff a violent culture if you see the life of an underground street fighter as a feel good story.

If he get that Miami nikka swag down with the ball head, beard and golds....this might have potential.

Nikka died at 42 and had a very interesting life all things considered

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Actors are terrible at duplicating southern mannerisms. Probably hav Kimbo sounding like an Appalachian hillbilly.

Try hard bytch post.
He fought himself out of poverty to buying a house and providing for his kids.
Nothing barberic or violent about that, and its the same in every cutlure in the world for the history of the world.
Kimbo wasn't doing anything different than any professional boxer, kickboxer, mma fighter, and etc.

You got anger issues. Can you name one movie about a professional fighter that you would describe as feel good.
Using feel good to describe the life of a fighter is an insult to the craft. Would you describe the life of a solider fighting in Iraq as a feel good story?

hollywood can flip it to make it seem like one. guy from the bottom fights his way to the top. your typical hollywood boxing/fighter story.

Did you watch ragging bull?
Non of the rockeys are feel good.
I can stretch and give you Ali
Maybe the great white hype is feel good

It’s really crazy that he died so young. I’m glad that he is getting a movie done about him.

 

[Silver Surfer]

I dont think they should go the "feel good"....just keep it real...straight to Netflix

 

[ThaGlow]

Yeah winston is big.....Kimbo was short and brollic

True. He's more Dada 5000 than Kimbo.

 

[Reggie]

This will probably be straight to Netflix or DVD.

 

[StraxStrax]

Crazy to think he died

RIP and all that but Kimbo dying before 50 is one of the least suprising celebs deaths ever.

 

[theflyest]

But

We literally have it all on video

Now

A doc would be better. Nothing Hollywood can do can make you feel like watching duke actually beat down multiple dudes in a row and just brutalize cats

There's more to Kimbo then that. What about his homeless days, living out of his car, trying to survive? This needs to be explored

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Why not just cast his son. He looks just like him
