Couture Makes His Debut in Straight to DVD Scorpion King 2


Former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion Randy Couture made his first real debut as an actor in "The Scorpion King 2" last year. Randy plays Sargon, an evil king of a Middle Eastern sect of Scorpion Warriors.


Couture's acting is a bit cheesy at times, and you can certainly tell that he hasn't been doing this for awhile. The action sequences (as one might assume) fit him perfectly, however. Everything looks natural, and it seems like an MMA fighter is just as good of a stage performer as a stunt double when it comes to physical actions.


The movie itself is forgettable as a been there, done that warrior type film. The special effects are second rate, but there is an extremelly attractive demon goddess who attempts to make the main character her slave in the bowels of hell. If I were he, I would have taken the offer.
