Deadliest Warrior (Spike TV)

this show is awesome.
http://www.spike.com/show/31082

anyone else watch it? i thought the ninja would beat the spartan last night but i guess not.

I saw half of last night's episode. Their ninja "experts" were gay. I can tell from the way those clowns use the weapons that they have little formal training.

I know they're not the same show, but watching this just made me wish they brought back Human Weapon.

They had a lot more coverage worthy material to last beyond the two seasons that History Channel allowed them.

lol well i just think the whole idea for the show is really cool. so much garbage out there these days.

actually does anyone know if MXC is still on? i fucking loved that show. i wonder if it can be downloaded.

I agree with their fight analysis though. A ninja in a face to face fight with a Spartan would be disadvantaged because of all that brass. However, the ninja experts failed to mention that attacking the Spartan's exposed hand and arm, the one that holds the weapon, would be an effective strategy.

Oh and for the record, a weighted chain can go through that brass armor. I've easily put holes through metal garbage cans.

last week's was a viking v. samarai. samarai won.

Aren't/Weren't Ninja's more of the Assassin type (I.E. Sneak up on your enemy and kill him from behind)? I really wonder how they'd do in a face to face confrontation with a more 'conventional' warrior?

Posted by elFreak on Apr-22-2009 21:54:

did anyone notice that in the "simulated" fight, the ninja did not use the black egg? Hard to kick someone in the chest when you are blind

The samurai vs viking was better.

the pirate one next week looks gay. I mean they have fucking guns.

spartans also fought in formations, not one on one.

good show, tons of missed angles.

i've tried watching this show, but can never make it through a single episode without switching the channel. Feels like they exaggerate everything, and their modern-day analysis of the different weapons is so outta place. Watching them measure the exact force of a flying dagger hitting someone in the chest ... you can't take seriously. There's no such thing as a "deadliest" warrior - they were all deadly and all fought the way they best knew how to fight. It's like asking, oh who would win - a karate guy or a kickboxer? Or what about a lion vs a tiger? Or 10 midgets against a gladiator!

Never heard of it.

I missed that... Ninjas are really samurai with extra unconventional techniques and weapons. Most of their fighting skills came from samurai martial arts.

a knight would sink faster than the titanic.

i think a knight would own a samurai though. no fucking way through that armor.

sherman tank vs trojan horse.

Posted by Slylee on Apr-22-2009 22:05:

ninja v. chuck noris would be good. or anything v. chuck noris

Posted by ZeJayMan on Apr-23-2009 01:03:

this is one of the gayest things i have ever seen. absolute typical american pishy television.

Posted by astroboy on Apr-23-2009 01:26:

The problem with so-called ninja-experts is that ninja martial arts pretty much died out a long time ago.
Basically if you're learning from someonw who learned from this guy there's a good chance you're getting the real deal. Anyone else pretty much almost certainly is either a con artist cashing in on the image knowingly or a delusional douchebag who watched too many movies in the eighties.

I watched this on Sunday during the day and I remember seeing the Chinese warrior beat the viking d00d. The weapon testing portion before the fighting was pretty cool.
