5.1Guaranteed to be the most hilariously shocking video you've ever seen, Bumfights will piss on any other ruckus video ever made. You'll see drunk bums beating each other silly, real street fights caught on tape, sick pranks, chick fights, crackheads, bum stunts, supermodel Angela Taylor and hands down the rawest, most core ruckus ever filmed. On behalf of Indecline and the Bumfight Krew... we apologize. Because love us or hate us, these images will stay with you for life.

Bumfights is an American video series produced by Indecline Films. The debut release titled Bumfights Vol.1: A Cause for Concern (2001) features primarily high school student fights caught on tape and homeless men (most notably Rufus Hannah and Donnie Brennan) in the San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas metropolitan areas attempting amateur stunts in a style similar to the MTV series Jackass, and in one case, a fight between two homeless men resulting in severe injuries. It was produced by Ryen McPherson, Zachary Bubeck, Daniel J. Tanner, and Michael Slyman.
The video series immediately received widespread criticism. In 2002, two of the homeless men depicted filed a lawsuit against the producers alleging they were paid to hurt themselves and beat each other. In April 2006, the four original filmmakers surrendered rights to produce any more Bumfights videos or distribute videos already made, and were obliged to pay compensation to three of the homeless men depicted in the videos, under a settlement announced shortly before the 2002 lawsuit was due to go to trial.
