Inspiring story: Former ‘bum’ beats the bottle: Army veteran was part of infamous underground video

(Bumfights was) filmed mostly in the San Diego area, it caused outrage and landed the producers, including a La Mesa teen, in court.

In one “Bumfights” scene, Hannah barreled down a flight of stairs in a shopping cart. He was called “Rufus the Stunt Bum.”

Call him a bum no more. Call him sober. Call him employed. Call him - and this is not an exaggeration - a new man.

What are bumfights? Tacky and awful: here’s the story

The premise of this production is brutal and straightforward. Homeless men and women living on the streets of California and Las Vegas (affectionately referred to as bums) are offered cash, food, liquor, clothing, and motel rooms. In exchange, they perform amateur stuntwork without safety nets, erstwhile fisticuffs in public places without protection - or any kind of vicious brawl which might serve to titillate giggling armchair fratboys watching from presumably the same USC or UCLA dormitory once occupied by the video’s producers.

And from bumfights dot com:

After more than three years of filming we’re finally done!
Guaranteed to be the most hilariously shocking video you’ve ever seen.
Bumfights will take the pepsi challenge against any ruckuss video ever made.
You’ll see drunk bums beating each other silly, real street fights caught on tape, sick pranks, chick fights, crackheads, bum stunt, supermodel Angela Taylor and hands down the rawest most core ruckus ever filmed.
On behalf of Indecline and the Bumfight Crew….
we apologize, because love us or hate us, these images will stay with you for life.
