Homeless Men Sue 'Bumfights' Makers
Wed Oct 2, 8:07 PM ET
By SETH HETTENA, Associated Press Writer

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Two homeless men who say they were paid to hurt themselves and beat each other for a video sold on the Internet filed suit Wednesday against the filmmakers, who also face criminal charges.

Donald Brennan and Rufus Hannah say the makers of "Bumfights: A Cause for Concern" took advantage of their alcoholism to persuade them to ram their heads into steel doors and signs and get "Bumfights" tattoos in bold letters across their hands and foreheads.

"When you're drinking for 20 years as I have, when you don't have a beer in your hand you would do anything to get one," said Brennan, who bears a "Bumfight" tattoo on his forehead in bold red letters and others on his arms and belly. "Who in their right minds is going to run their heads into a sign?"

The men are seeking unspecified punitive damages for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil rights violations and other allegations.

Looks like the Bumfight site owners are in for a world of hassle. Regardless of whether they end up in prison.

TheFLY · 10-03-2002, 07:40 PM

Well the media is probably playing the sympathy angle -- but yes most of these homeless guys are mentally ill in the first place -- just burned out of their mind from the 60's... hehe.

As for the forehead tatoo -- damn just break out the headband!

I wonder if the "players" in this business who showcased the bumfights videos on their sites will be named as well? Didn't they also profit from the "misfortune" of these guys?

Why don't you email the bum's lawyers and ask them if they plan on suing the "players"?

The lawyers claim that they will donate a large portion of their winnings to the homeless.

I hope they do. That would set a great example.

Lexxx · 10-03-2002, 08:29 PM

On the other hand... it might give a jump-start for the niche-followers in other parts of the world because of this publicity... too bad all the links to bumfights sites are being redirected now.. damnnit.

... after expenses.

Oh wait, darn the case cost more than we thought it would, there's only $100 left. Ah well, justice was served!
