 Two years ago there had never been a British Martial feature film, now  there are several completed and others soon to be completed. We always had  world class fighters, who have been winning and bringing back the medals in  nearly ever discipline at the hightest levels. Now with the explosion in  production of martial arts films and reality tounrament and combat TV shows  in Britian, the UK has now become the centre of attention and taken a giant  leap onto the world stage as a new hotbed of talent, before and behind the  camera, which has enabled the producers of F.I.S.T. to fully realize the  scripts full potential. Without that firm competitve base and the national  explosion of UK production F.I.S.T. would never have had to really push the  envelope, because without the competition, we really would not have been  challenged and driven to making the truly wild and original all action  battle fest that has gestated and mutated over the years of production into  what has become F.I.S.T. A truly national effort for which we are truly  thankful.
