Клетка (1989)

Cage

A GI in Vietnam saves his buddy's life, but in the process is shot in the head. The injury results in brain damage to the point where he basically has a child's brain in a (very large) man's body. When they get out of the army the two open up a bar together, but some local gangsters make things tough for them after they refuse to take part in brutal "cage" matches where fighters battle to the point of serious injury and/or death.

Интересные факты

Cage is a 1989 American martial arts action film produced and directed by Lang Elliott, starring Reb Brown, Lou Ferrigno, Michael Dante and James Shigeta. In a story pitched as a modern take on Of Mice and Men, a Vietnam War veteran (Brown) attempts to save his mentally challenged former squadmate (Ferrigno) from exploitation at the hand of an underground fighting ring.

Production

Producer/director Lang Elliot met the film's main backer, Wichita Falls financial advisor Larry Lebow, when the latter entered his office by mistake at a theater, while on holiday in Los Angeles in 1986. The film's pitch came from Mobile, Alabama, screenwriter Hugh Kelley, who wrote the script after hearing about underground fights supposedly happening in Chinese–American neighborhoods. The part of Billy was written with Lou Ferrigno in mind.

Principal photography started in its August 22, 1988, and took place in the Los Angeles area. The crew spent one week on location in the city's Chinatown. Another week was dedicated to recreating the Vietnam War shootout. Due to the tight schedule, some days started as early as 4:30 a.m. and ended as late as 10:30 p.m.
