The Bohemian Kickboxer meets US Marine video. Real or fake?

ByCraig Haley

A video spreading across the Internet that claims to show what happens when a Bohemian kickboxer meets a US Marine. Some versions of the video claim to show what happens when a Bolivian kickboxer meets a US Marine.

The video appears to show a fight where one fighter – presumably the kickboxer – performs all sorts of acrobatics and showboating moves to intimidate his opponent – the Marine – only for the Marine to effortlessly win the fight with a single punch.

The video can be seen below.

However, despite the videos persistence on the Internet, the captions attributed to it are untrue. Neither of the fighters are a Bolivian kickboxer or a US Marine, nor is it a real fight. In fact it is a scene from a Hollywood movie Never Back Down featuring a fight with one of the movies protagonists.

It was filmed from above, presumably by an extra or for a “behind the scenes” segment. The scene – how it was finally depicted in the movie – can be seen below.
