Did the ending to the movie Warrior suck?

The UFC one? I just rewatched it and the ending always pisses me off because it is totally unbelievable. First the older brother fought and beat koba which sure possible, but then fighting his brother after and winning too? that is just ridiculous he fought and took massive punches from both fighters that were knocking other people (who were younger and stronger) out with each punch and yet somehow he was able to stay concious for a volley of them from both fighters? I smell shite in the air XP

I agree, I wanted the younger brother (Tommy) to win. I felt worse for him than I did for the older brother (Brendan), because Brendan had family and friends and support, and Tommy was so alone for so long. My heart just warmed for him much more and I also wanted to see him give the money to the woman who lost her husband (his friend).

I didn't really like Brendan at all, haha! I don't know why, but I just never cared about him and never rooted for him. Tommy was so damaged, I just felt so bad for him and felt he deserved it so much more. And, let's not forget, he was a MUCH better fighter, packing a tougher punch too. Brendan was a mediocre fighter, at best.

yeah! I didn't like Brendan because he was all sneaky saying that he forgave everyone but in actuality didn't forgive anyone, even though he was lying to his wife and kids etc. Tommy was a jerk at points but he was always honest and he turned around towards the end which was awesome XP

Precisely.

I got the feeling that movie was inspired by Ken Shamrock and Frank Shamrock two brothers who were both stars in the UFC in the early 90s who never fought. One of them wanted to have the fight, the other didn't want to fight his brother. So some writer slapped that fan based wet dream together and made it a movie.

Haha possible XP I used to wrestle with friends and they all called me shamrock, I didn't know that there were two of them XP
