I want some armor made of whatever the pirates tri-corn was made out of. It seemed to have no problem stopping full on impacts from the flail without causing any damage whatsoever! :wtf:

Ditto, ditto, ditto. I think, though, they intended that the pirate wasn't really being hit, but was diving to the ground to get out of the way. Well, that's the best construction I can put on it, anyway. But what got the biggest laugh out of me was the toy crossbow. Where'd they get that ridiculous little excuse for a weapon, the corner hardware store? You couldn't hunt anything bigger than a rabbit with that thing!. And the bunny had better be close! :p

actually the thing that made me laugh most was the pistol bullet bouncing off the crappy breastplate ....

I do wander how accurate the bone structure inside the gelatin is though as the tests seem to do a lot more damage than expected after looking through my Battle of Wisby book.

I for one will keep watching the series, it makes me laugh cray & scream in every episode !

If only this show could be as historicaly accurate etc. as Manswers,...now your talking scientific!!

I just watched Mafia vs Yakuza. It was very interesting. For one thing I knew nothing about Yakuza before watching the episode. I am now interested in learning more about Yakuza. I did not know and found it interesting that Yakuza used British and German weapons in 1946. Not that it mattered to the Yakuza, but it says something about Imperial Japans position to have continued its war effort effectively against the US in 1945.

This episode also shows why it makes more sense to match up warriors that are of different time periods with vastly different weapons on this sort of show. I felt for the most part that Mafia and Yakuza are too similar to really compare. Either one could have beat the other. The Mafia only had slight edge in fire power. Both the Mafia and the Yakuza had the same potential access to more powerful weapons in their respective time and place.

Artis, thanks but I know all that stuff ... thats why I was wandering how accurate & whatever the bone structure inside the gel was made from hence too have something to reference from.

It does show though how many experts there are in various weapon forms over in california ..... ;)

Deadliest warrior take two:
Syphilitic Conquistador vs Longbowman with Dysentery..now reenactment of that I would watch! (in horror, but still..) :p

Oh come on, people didn't really describe Mafia and Yakuza as warriors ,did they?? Well, if they did, forget my suggestion of Mr Bean vs Peewee Herman, and put on shows with such ''warriors'' as Crack Head Convenience Store Robber vs Serial Rapist, Enron Boss vs Credit Card Fraud artist, and all forms of criminals one thinks qualifies as a ''warrior'', like in war on morality, war on decency, war on common sense... Yakuza vs Mafia, please....
Oh yeah, I do know of both mythologies of how they portray their humble beginnings as robin hood like patriotic organizations, but the fact of the matter is that both these organizations are known icons of organized crime... what's next: Hell's Angels vs Mara Salvatrucha ??... this is not entertainment as low life knife in the back drug dealers cannot be placed on the same level as the men & women of our armed forces, nor those of other nations and cultures through time. Offensive.

But the real question in the upcoming Navy SEAL vs Spetznatz is:

Will they stay true to the show's action movie roots and actually test baby oil or whatever was used on 80s action heros vs whatever russian wrestlers are using to oil themselves up?

I didn't watch Mafia v. Yakuza - in hand-to-hand did the Yakuza have more of an advantage over a Mafioso whose hand was burned during his "omerta" oath, or did the Mafiso have an advantage because the Yakuza was missing the end of his left pinkie due to self-amputation after losing "face"...

i liked how the yakuza were samurai, and not just criminals. I also liked how the were comparing a 9mm pistol to a sawed-off shotgun, like they even had to.
