Trivia:
Banned in the UK for a video release. BBFC justifies this with the following statement: Bumfights - Cause for Concern consists substantially of camcorder footage of homeless people ('bums') being abused, assaulted, and humiliated. These scenes are intercut with footage of street brawls and soft pornography. Under the Video Recordings Act 1984 the Board must have special regard to any harm to those likely to view a video and to any harm to society through the behaviour of those viewers afterwards. The Act singles out particular elements as being potentially harmful including criminal behaviour and violent behaviour or incidents. The BBFC guidelines for '18' rated works state that the Board may "cut or reject... any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts which is likely to promote the activity" (page 16). The Board's guidelines for violence also state as particular concerns "callousness towards victims, encouraging aggressive attitudes[and] taking pleasure in pain and humiliation" (page 9). In the Board's view, the video breaches these guidelines by exploiting the physical and other vulnerabilities of homeless people. The Board considered the possibility of cuts. However, given the extent of the unacceptable material, cuts were not considered a viable option on this occasion. moreFAQ

Half of this movie contains youngsters having a fight. I don't care about that, just let them. The other half though concerns making fun of the homeless, let them do humiliating things on camera and basically terrorize them. There's one thing to be said: this is truly shock cinema. In it's most disgusting way.
I just happened to find this on kazaa (I'm not even sure what I was looking for at that time), and had heard about it before so I decided to check it out, thinking it's just some sort of Jackass (love that show). But this is going way beyond that. This is going way beyond what you can imagine. This is way beyond humanity. It's sickening, disgusting, and a true horror to watch. Some would say that's exactly what it's meant to do, but this is too much for me to handle.
1/10.
