Haywire Video: Watch Gina Carano With Fans at After Party

PrintFormer women's MMA champion Gina Carano's new film career focus appears to be off to quite the start with "Haywire." The reviews so far have been very good and as this video shows, she's now getting mobbed by fans after events surrounding the movie.
Give it a watch:
The reviews, as previously stated, are good for the movie and for Gina's performance.
A handsome, black-haired hardbody who wears an evening dress as easily as she does a hoodie, Carano exudes the sort of self-confidence and physical wherewithal that leaves no doubt she can prevail in any situation. This is essential because the film rides upon one's certainty that her character, Mallory Kane, an international troubleshooter assigned to off-the-books missions, can take out virtually any guy in mano a mano combat. Soderbergh shoots her half-a-dozen or so fight scenes without doubles or cheat editing, emphasizing his star's abilities to the extent that the semblance and extremity of the combat's reality becomes the film's entire raison d'etre.
Carano has real screen presence. She's awesome to watch in action, and unique as a movie character. She's beautiful and I love the dark hair hanging over the cheeks, but she looks like she's been in some fights, maybe had her nose smashed a few times and that's awesome. She carries herself as a practical businesswoman not caught up in all the movie plot devices that require other heroes to act like idiots.
The fights are fantastic. She uses the wall and momentum for her leg grips. She uses the environment but not like a prop, just as a way to calculate her attack. We get to see Carano fight in an evening gown and choke a dude out. The fights are fair, so she gets hit too. Tables don't break away, rather opponents roll over them and keep fighting. Against men in body armor, Carano herself is a better weapon than any gun.

unfortunately
you are probably exactly right.
she’s gonna Cung Le way better than Cung Le could have (evidently).
ideas? got a head full/one-man penny dreadful
Story on TMZ.....
Gina Carano is the REAL DEAL in the world of MMA … but there are allegations she’s not totally the real deal on the big screen … because her voice in the new movie, “Haywire” … may NOT be her voice at all.
Sources connected with the production tell TMZ … the folks behind the movie didn’t like the way Carano sounded when they filmed the flick … so they changed it in post. It’s unclear if they used fancy electronics to alter Gina’s vocal quality, or whether they dubbed in another female voice.
Monday night, Carano was at The Grove in L.A. … where she totally spoke with us … and sounded great … at least that’s our opinion.
We placed multiple calls to the production company … so far, no comment.

Went to the cinema today...
..saw the trailer. It looked good, like “a good film, building up to a cool finale”, not “cool action film”, not “crap mma/fighting/action film that is ‘good’ due to it being so big/bad”.
Did feel the urge to shout RETIRE ALREADY at the screen, but the large number of elderly people sitting around me was strong discouragement.
Was she using an inhaler?

Wow I went to Rotten Tomatoes expecting to see the movie get slaughtered but it's sitting pretty (for now) at 100% positive ratings (not all 10/10 reviews but all reviews are above 5/10)
"Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."
I though Salt was utter garbage and unbelievable
i hope this isnt the case with this flick, even james bond gets hurt sometimes
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
Salt was garbage because Angelina Jolie is anorexic and looked like wax lips and a wig glued to a 1" dowel
Whereas with Gina it’s easier to believe she is an asskicker with strength and all that stuff.

I still don't get the appeal of a random autograph
If there’s some story behind it, I can see it. But what is the point of just collecting people’s signatures?
Not afraid to nitpick
yeah, you dont get it.
its a scribbled name. on paper. which is AWESOME!!!!!

The people that do this are not fans
They are professional autograph hounds and they sell this stuff. If you look closely, one guy who gets one of his things signed quickly puts it away to reveal a duplicate under it that he then tries to get signed as well. They try hard to make it look like they are regular fans and it’s hilarious. I can be hanging out with an actor friend, one who’s not even all that big of a name and go to the Arclight theater in Hollywood to check out a movie and by the time we get out there will be a small group of people with glossy photos of her asking for her autograph. The shit is creepy.
Someone help me out here...

Why is everyone surprised that this with probably be a decent popcorn flick?
And why have so many people been bagging it leading up to its release? Soderbergh has made a bunch of great movies and it has a good cast. Why not just give it a chance?! There are plenty of other terrible movies to crap on out there!

As much of a beer snob I can be sometimes,
Hipsters in general really piss me off. They have a way of sucking the life out of something you love.

PBR is actually expensive now? SMH
This of course means true hipsters have to move to something else… I nominate “Simpler Times” available at Trader Joe’s.
Miller light?
Jeebus. What some of you put into your bodies. There are so many better American beers out there. But I’ll certainly take Bloodsport. That shit blew my mind when I was a kid.

I’m a beer snob, but not so much that I will turn down a Miller Light if a buddy offerred it to me at his house. I hate when people do that. I can understand if you’re not drinking, but don’t turn your nose up at something I offer you. A have a friend who does that all the time: you offer her a beer, she’ll ask what it is, and then make a face if she finds it disgusting. Who gives a shit? It’s a free beer! Get out of my house.

Pretty much, beer is beer unless you're the host.
When I have gatherings of people over I buy 3 tiers of beer.
Top Tier – Dogfish Head IPAs for my inner circle (hidden in cooler in bed of truck in garage)
Middle Tier – Sam Adams for their +1’s (in fridge)
Bottom Tier – Miller Lite / Bud Lite for the “I hope you don’t mind that I brought” which is stashed in ice filled tub near living room.
Works pretty well, sometimes uninviteds take from the fridge but the inner circle stash continues to be a closely guarded secret (on penalty of exile)

Word.
Tiers is how I do things at my house also.
Top – IPA’s and ESB’s (Dogfish Head, Dechutes, etc).
Middle – Howesound, Phillips, R&B.
Bottom – Granville Island, Molson Canadian, Kokanee – pretty much our Canadian versions of Miller and Bud.
Also have various wines – mostly red, but some white for the random two or three people that drink white wine.
Honestly, this is the only way I can get most of my friends to come watch a PPV with me. Free beer and food; you just gotta sit for three hours and listen to me scream at the TV screen. Top three most commonly screamed phrases by yours truly:
- OH SHIT!
- TAP MOTHERFUCKER!
- FUCK! NO! FUCK FUCK FUCK! NO! NOOOOO!
"You've got Floyd Mayweather making $25 million. He can't stop a double-leg..." Nick Diaz.
I got completely spoiled at Chico State not that long ago.
Sierra Nevada was only $4.99 a six-pack in town! It was crazy! Ruined me for cheap beer for years, but I eventually came back.
Americans have it awesome for beer prices.
Here in Canada, if I buy Dechutes, a six pack is like $14-$18 depending on where you can find it. Dogfish Head they only sell in singles at like $2.50 per bottle. No joke.

I think he's commenting on her reaction

Hey, I love my shitty CBC Radio 3 indie music, thought Melancholia was great and prefer my laundry organic and small batch, but sometimes there’s nothing better than a silly action flick. And if I get to watch Gina for 90 minutes as well? Well, that’s just a bonus.

It’s really interesting reading the reviews, especially because of each bizarre description of what I assume is a mounted triangle choke she performs. One review called it a leg lock, the crave article above mentions “leg grips”, and another compares her to a contortionist because of it. I’m not making fun of them; ignorance mitigates culpability. But it is interesting seeing how people look at things like this without the filter of MMA/BJJ/etc. know-how.

You mean this move?
“[Riggs’] way of winning a fight is to force his rival to the ground and attempt to crush him between his knees.” -The New York Times
When I introduced my dad into modern MMA (he'd seen some of the old pre-zuffa UFCs) he made up all sorts of (unintentionally) hilarious names for the submissions
Triangle choke became “Choking him Indian style”
RNC (with hooks in) was “that Princess Bride sleeper hold”
Guillotine was “playground headlock”
I can’t remember most of them because they weren’t as goofy, just confused.

If anything is right in the universe...
“Choking him Indian style” will be the new name for a triangle choke.
I will use it in the live blog Saturday if the opportunity presents itself.
