I heard about this a while ago. The guy playing BA is some UFC guy. should be somewhat entertaining I guess... just shows how much Hollywood is out of new ideas, and keeps recycling old ideas.
In 1980, Mr. T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone while taking part in NBC's "America's Toughest Bouncer" competition—a segment of NBC's Games People Play.[6] His role in Rocky III was originally intended as just a few lines. His catchphrase, "I pity the fool!", comes from the film, in which he played a boxer facing Rocky Balboa.

I'll need to go look now.
