@riazorblue honestly... Is that all you have? Nothing better to do? Face it, the only reason you're making fun of Americans over the Internet because you want to look smart. Look! I laugh at American! Respect and laugh with me! You're just as bad as us...
this is fuckin disgrace, anyone who gives this idiot props for drawing ta moko on his arm and pretending like he gives a fuck is an idiot too, their not putting nz on the map they dont even acknowledge where it comes from or what it represents . fucking yanks disrespecting whole culture in a low budget film.
thank u america for giving us maoris a bit of world wide publicity :) i think its coz wea 2 poor haha but yeah not to bad on th haka also couldve been taught better but hey im not complaining ive seen worse here in new zealand haha
Because Americans have no culture of their own they hijack somebody elses and completly destroy it. The Haka is cool when its done by the All Blacks in a packed stadium. Not cool when done by American kids trying to be cool. The lengths Americans go to to try and be different in a nation of a quater of a billion is hillarious. hey look at me Im doing the Haka, its different, you must respect me! Yanks you have to love em, their ignorance is very entertaining.
best movie ever <3 i´ve seen it 4 times and want to see it again i nearly almost cry when rick is huggin coach when coach told him that he can be captian <3
This is Pathetic... i mean he cant even say they words right, and there is no emotion what so ever, im sick on the USA doing movies about other counrtys, dude you guys always mess it up.... it should have been done in New Zealand.................
@rubentherude In the 90s or something they came to NZ for a tour an played, think they went unbeaten, read it somewhere around the same year they played in the world schools competition, might have been 98. I dont think they played NZ boys high schools, like Christchurch/Southland, Hamilton etc, think they played NZ mormon schools.
not bad, alot of maori wouldn't agree to this, but this movie was based on the brother hood of these boys and in the past, the guy that created this story, brought haka and maori meanings to utah, and used these ways in his everyday life, and he used it for others to teach respect. maori are forgetting that he used our ways that we dont really use anymore. this movie reminded me of how we were all there for each other back home, no such thing anymore. haka was ok, ive seen worse
My teacher actually went to school with the guy that they based this story on and he told us the real version of it, they got the story completely wrong XD
I dont know very much about this culture but when the guy expalins it in the movie i really i like its meaning i am seriously conserdering coming out to this in my next mma fight.
Ringa pakia ! Uma tiraha ! Turi whatia ! Hope whai ake ! Waewae takahia kia kino ! Ka mate ! Ka mate ! Ka ora ! Ka mate ! Ka mate ! Ka ora ! Tenei te tangata puhuru huru Nana nei i tiki mai, Whakawhiti te ra A upane ! ka upane ! A upane ! ka upane ! Whiti te ra ! Hi !
im a maori fulla... and i gotta say after watchen this film i fucking hated it.... they don't do it right AT ALL, they're yelling and waving their arms round like a bunch of retards, no heart, no mana.... drove me fucking crazy!!!!
@oinah182 i soooo agree im from nz and i completly hate this movie.. a bunch of americans who thnk they can steal our haka.. its so disrespectful them doing it and then translating it wrong.. fukn hate it
@joelyrolly69 this haka is MAORI from New Zealand. Each Pacific Island has there own Haka that has there own meaning and there language, this is difnntly Maori and it the meaning behind it is about a Maori Warrior in a Kumara Patch. Preparing to fight. Im Maori and brought up knowing this.
I'm from New Zealand and I'm not offended at all....think that if you want to see the haka done properly though you should watch the All Blacks though....they are the most feared Rugby team in the world (with a win record of 75% over a 100 year period and even better since turning professional), nobody does it better.
Ka mate ka mate ka ora ka ora ka mate ka mate ka ora ka ora. Tenei te tangata puhuru huru. Nana nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra. A upane ka upane! A upane ka upane upane kaupane whiti te ra
KA MATE! KA MATE! KA ORA, KA ORA, KA MATE! KA MATE! KA ORA, KA ORA, TENEI TE TANGATA, PU'RU-HURU, NA'A NEI TIKI, MAI WHAKA-WHITI TERA! UPANE! KA UPANE! A UPANE! KA UPANE!
Maori Haka: Ka mate! Ka mate!(It is death for me) Ka ora! Ka ora!(I live!) Ka mate! Ka mate!(It is death for me) Ka ora! Ka ora!(I live!) Tenei te tangata puhuru-huru (Behold the brave man Nana nei i tiki mai, (literally the hairy man)) Whakawhiti te ra!(who has caused the sun to shine again) Aue upane! Aue kaupane!(Up the ladder) Aue upane, kaupane (Up and up) Whiti te ra! (Into the light of the sun)
fuck forever strong. we all know highland is only good because the fucking mormons ship over Polynesians. have a real 100% american team and then see how good you are. My boner is forever stronger, suck it
If I were a kiwi I would be heavily offended by this...I bet none of the dudes on the team are even from NZ...thats like a USA club soccer team randomly singing the Mexican national anthem or something...
@SmithJohn19 Like I wrote above, NZ should feel honored because these boys honored the culture. If another country loved America and sang our national anthem because they honored the message then I would feel honored.
@vanmoody we would be honoured if they sung it right and translated it right. Its a Maori Tradition thats done at birthdays, weddings and funerals, and its been turned into a mockery in this movie.
I dont mind them using the Haka aslong as they do it right. IF they do it badly then its time to open a Pukana of whoopass.
The Haka in the film, was damn alright. Kia Kaha, and im happy to have learned that they asked for permission to use it on the film and even learn it the right way.
@courtenataylorr If you actually bother to see the movie, you would notice that there is several New Zealanders who play for that team and also they give a explanation to what the haka is about.
@Caboose1234567891234 You guys stole our traditional maori war dance in which it should not be used unless by a true NZ team. That is embarrassing to watch and is really offensive.
@courtenaytaylorr Dude, it is a movie, why do you sweat about it? I am sure that the makers have done their homework about the NZ culture and heritage..
@courtenaytaylorr Well, you of course have the right to believe whatever you wish, but I don't think they were trying to be offensive... I think it's really cool. What is so wrong with being interested in another culture? (I'm American and I think other cultures are very interesting and I have only the highest respect for them).
@courtenaytaylorr i'm pretty sure they didn't have intentions of insulting the new zealander culture. in my perspectivei think they're actually respecting it showing how it makes a team more like a brotherhood, and like scoutmacedonia said i'm pretty sure they've done their homework.
@courtenaytaylorr I don't think they're trying to rip anybody off, But its a way of expressing the warrior spirit like the traditional Moari warriors, if anything I'd say they're trying to honor them, by looking up to them and their example, and performing their dance is a reminder, same with people practicing bushido, you don't have to be japanese to do that, look at the all blacks they perform the dance, and I know they are New Zealanders, but can only New Zealanders be inspired by NZ culture?
@courtenaytaylorr im surprised theyve actually got some maoris to be in the team, but still it doesnt matter that much as the rest is just americans;)
@courtenaytaylorr,mate i dnt think they were desrespecting our culture in any way its a movie and being a maori my self i am so happy for them performing it,so get out of ya lil nut shell and share ya culture to the rest of the world ya stumbn lil kiwi..gud on the americans..
@courtenaytaylorr I agree with you mate I am welsh the haka is an all black tradtion fucking yanks got steal everything form everybody else give a few years and they'll be telling the rest of world that rugby was invented over there like they think basketball was and golf.
This is a scene from a movie based on Highland Rugby. They are considered one of the best U-19 Teams in America Every Year. They do not do it to offend anyone, but to show their respect for the game. Its not meant to be offensive
@courtenaytaylorr They weren't trying to be offensive, they were trying to be like New Zealanders. You must really dislike living in New Zealand, since you dislike seeing things that are from New Zealand even if they are out of the country.
@courtenaytaylorr Shouldn't you feel honored that American boys took something from your culture that they valued? In the movie that was how it was portrayed. They weren't making fun of your culture, they were honoring it. So you should feel honored because that is what they are doing.
@courtenaytaylorr America knows a good, cool thing when it sees it. El Plubrius Unum. Just because you don't use it to fight the British in battle anymore doesn't mean you have a monopoly on it. Either lighten up or piss off, disgrace to Maori.
this is a great movie. one of the best i've seen. and the Highland rugby team has been doing this for over what 30 years now? they have permission to do so. they usually always have Maori people on their team. so dont say they stole it.
@ddh34 They dont have the permission actually. If you read your facts a maori decided when he joined the Highlanders that they should perform this. They are performing it wrong and as well as the pronunciation of it too. Very offensive. It dosent matter if the team has maoris in it but the team originates in America and it still does to this day.
@fitzy845 I disagree. I'm from a minority culture, and if someone used my cultural traditions in a way that was respectful, I wouldn't feel offended. I don't believe that Japanese feel offended when people preform Yoga. What's there to be offended about? The message they sent in the movie, (anyway, what i got out of it) was that is was a group of young men, proud of who they were, and this is one way they showed that they were a brotherhood. And there are Moari players on the team.
This is an AWESOME movie!!! When I visited New Zealand, I was able attend a traditional Maori ceremony and saw some of the tribal men perform the Haka. It's hair-raising and chilling at the same time! Wonderful tradition! May it never die!
UUhhhh no they don't. They're saying "Whakawhiti" (pronounced faahhhk-aahhh-feeety) which means to cross over. This is one of the most prominent and sacred Maori haka there is so I suggest that you be a bit more careful with comments in future.
@TeeNicol can you please dude translate the whole song? i'd really like to understand what they are saying. I know that ka-mate ka-ora means - I may live , i may die ..
scoutmacedonia Sure, this haka was composed by a man called Te Rauparaha who was under threat from a rival tribe and facing life or death hid in a kumara (sweet potato) pit (some people say underneath bushes and some say underneath a woman and her bushes :-P).
The haka itself is about triumph of life over death. the entire haka goes like this:
Kikiki kakaka kauana! Kei waniwania taku tara Kei tarawahia, kei te rua i te kerokero! He pounga rahui te uira ka rarapa Ketekete kau ana to peru kairiri Mau au e koro e Hi! Ha! Ka wehi au ka matakana, Ko wai te tangata kia rere ure? Tirohanga ngā rua rerarera Ngā rua kuri kakanui i raro! Aha ha! Ka Mate Ka Mate Ka ora ka ora x2 Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā Ā, upane! ka upane! Ā, upane, ka upane (kaupane), whiti te ra!

This is an AWESOME movie!!! When I visited New Zealand, I was able attend a traditional Maori ceremony and saw some of the tribal men perform the Haka. It's hair-raising and chilling at the same time! Wonderful tradition! May it never die!

UUhhhh no they don't. They're saying "Whakawhiti" (pronounced faahhhk-aahhh-feeety) which means to cross over. This is one of the most prominent and sacred Maori haka there is so I suggest that you be a bit more careful with comments in future.

@TeeNicol can you please dude translate the whole song? i'd really like to understand what they are saying. I know that ka-mate ka-ora means - I may live , i may die ..
tnx in advance.

scoutmacedonia Sure, this haka was composed by a man called Te Rauparaha who was under threat from a rival tribe and facing life or death hid in a kumara (sweet potato) pit (some people say underneath bushes and some say underneath a woman and her bushes :-P).
The haka itself is about triumph of life over death. the entire haka goes like this:

The main bit (from ka mate ka mate) means:
I may live, I may live, I may die, I may die x2.
This is the Hairy person (could be the woman)
Who blocked out (literally crossed over) the sun.
A step upward, another step upward!
A step upward, another step upward, the Sun shines!
Hope that helps.
