Is the story based on a true story?
Berry’s film inspires with many details and appearances by real MMA stars like Valentine Shevchenke (seen as Lucis “Lady Killer” Chavez), which certainly makes many viewers wonder whether Jackie Justice really existed. “Bruised” is not based on any real person, the story is fictional.
The fight scenes are presented as realistically as possible, however, as Berry fought all the fights himself and trained for eight months in boxing, capoeira, muay thai, jujuitsu and judo. The actress even broke several ribs while filming, like her “Women’s Health” betrayed. “To be as old as me and to push your body to the limit reminded me that age is just a number. (…) I’ve never been as healthy and fit as I am now. This film loved me helped to understand that, “said the 55-year-old.
Berry received help for the real fights from her co-star Shevchenko, which in retrospect was noisy “MMAFightingonSBN” raved about the actress: “She has so much power.”
