2. no weapons allowed, just fists and wits
1. Bill the Butcher -
Gangs of New York vs. Lord Humongous -
The Road Warrior
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Bill the Butcher
the defending champ faces his biggest challenge, literally, in Mr. Humongous. he will need every move in his arsenal to advance to the next round.
Lord Humongous
his silver tongue wont work on Bill, he will have to rely on brute force. im sure he can handle that.
2. Stansfield - Leon vs. Mickey Knox - Natural Born Killers
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Stansfield
its hard to say whos crazier in this match. stansfield isnt the fighter Knox is but hes cunning and willing to go all the way.
Mickey Knox
Mickey will stick to his usual M.O. here.
3. Captain Spaulding - The Devil's Rejects vs. Ivan Drago - Rocky IV
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Captain Spaulding
having knocked out a number one seed in the previous round, the Captain has already changed the face of the tournament for this year. these two heavy hitters are going to put the hurt on each other.
Ivan Drago
he may have been a RRMVIT virgin before this year but you wouldnt know it watching him. hes cutting through the competition like a veteran.
4. Anton Chigurh - No Country For Old Men vs. Ozymandias - Watchmen
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Anton Chigurh
the loony with the mongoloid haircut has a pretty tall order in front of him. will his fearlessness be enough to move on?
Ozymandias
theres been rumblings that this might be Ozys year. we shall see.
5. Alex - A Clockwork Orange vs. O-Ren Ishii - Kill Bill
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Alex
the crowd favorite can make it to a record 4th final 4 but he has to go through two more opponents starting with one of the toughest ladies ever.
O-Ren Ishii
O-Ren has been the most successful female in the tournament over the years but has never advanced past this round. will her luck change here?
6. Dexter Morgan - Dexter vs. Nurse Ratched - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Dexter Morgan
the prince of precision has some experience against crazy ass nurses. his first victim was one.
Nurse Ratched
her cinderella story continues. but with an opponent like Dexter, the fat lady might be clearing her throat.
7. Hannibal Lector - Silence of the Lambs vs. Max Cady - Cape Fear
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Hannibal Lector
these two are about as different as night and day. Cady has the edge in strength while Lector has the edge in brains by a mile. he will probably also be offended by Cadys antics.
Max Cady
the best thing Max can do is to choke the old bastard before he gets a chance to open his mouth.
8. Otis B. Driftwood - The Devil's Rejects vs. Colonel Hans Landa - Inglourious Basterds
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Otis B. Driftwood
much like the above match, one has the brains and one has the brawn. can you guess which is which?
Colonel Hans Landa
you know whats scary? as fucked up as Otis is, i think Landa might be more fucked up. at least Otis knows something about loyalty.
alright folks, keep on voting!
AND, as is tradition, in addition to your four quarterfinal matches, we will have a small 3 round tournament beginning with the next set of matches. in the past we have had the super-heavyweight tournament (won by the balrog) and last years team tournament (won by the unlikely duo of Gollum and Iggy Pop). as for what this years side attraction will be, well, youll have to wait to see. but ill give you a hint. if youve been keeping up with this for a few years, youll see some old faces...
2. Stansfield. Tough one though. It'll get bloody.
3. Drago. What is that red building thing in front of his left leg?
4. Ozy. I fear and hate him more than all the others.
5. O-Ren
6. Dexter.
7. Hannibal. Damn.
8. Hans, unfortunately. I hate those smart people!
