红带高手 (2008)
Redbelt
洛杉矶的西面，是一个龙蛇混杂的是非之地，因为一众“练家子”居于此地，自然而然地形成了一个由格斗家组成的动感世界。在这些类似于保镖、拳击手、警察和特种兵的形形色色的人当中，真正的主角却是一个看起来不怎么起眼的教授防身术的老师迈克·泰瑞……其实迈克是一个顶级的柔道高手，只是这位颇有看破红尘意思的“世外高人”，一点也不喜欢在赛场上发挥自己的“余热”，生平最大的愿望就是平凡度日，并小心翼翼地不越雷池一步。对于他来说，真正有荣誉感的生活，并不存在于格斗场上，所以他才会开办这个教授防身术的武馆，过着悠闲自得、修身养性的日子。

Redbelt is a 2008 American martial arts film written and directed by David Mamet and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tim Allen, Alice Braga, Randy Couture, Ricky Jay, Joe Mantegna, Emily Mortimer, David Paymer, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Rodrigo Santoro. The film also features a number of martial arts professionals. It opened in wide release in the United States and Canada on May 9, 2008. The film centers on a martial arts master who struggles to achieve financial stability without compromising on his strict set of morals and must determine if the latest opportunities in his career are too good to be true.
Production
Mamet has described Redbelt as a samurai film in the tradition of Kurosawa. He has employed the resources of several members of the MMA community in the making of the film. Randy Couture and Enson Inoue have acting roles, as does Jean Jacques Machado's brother John Machado, who also planned some of the fight choreography. Dan Inosanto also has an acting role.
Mamet has earned the rank of purple belt under the tutelage of Renato Magno, who served as the film's jiu-jitsu consultant.
The film was produced by Chrisann Verges. David Wasco served as production designer. Debra McGuire designed the costumes and Stephen Endelman provided the music. Cinematography was done by Robert Elswit and the film was edited by Barbara Tulliver. John Machado and Rico Chiapparelli were the fight choreographers. Chiwetel Ejiofor's stunt double was Aaron Toney and Tim Allen's stunt double was Todd Warren.
In an interview with Iain Blair of Reuters Life!, Mamet said he was interested in casting Ejiofor for his acting versatility after seeing his performances in Dirty Pretty Things and Kinky Boots, saying, "It's impossible for one guy to be able to play both those parts." Mamet said that Ejiofor's preparation for the film included 12-hour days of physical training, although Ejiofor said that was not exactly the norm.
