  Big Brother Brawl, Riot
In the first article, examining the psychology of being in the Big Brother house - the factors which made the Big Brother riot inevitable - it's claimed that cramped living conditions and alcohol are key factors.
Part of Big Brother's premiss is that resources are limited and contestants must gamble a proportion of these on mentally and physically demanding tasks - poor nutrition has a negative affect on both psychological and physical performance.
Big Brother just reveals a sad truth about the nature of the society we live in, and people in general.

Police are investigating events in the TV house after security guards were called in to quell the fighting in the early hours of Thursday.
Over the past week, two female contestants whom the others thought had been ejected from the house were placed in an adjoining so-called "bedsit", from which they could secretly watch their fellows make disparaging comments about them.
The live television feed was cut for an hour as security guards had to be called in after one contestant threatened to tear another's head off and another duo almost came to blows.

 Big Brawl review (1980) Battle Creek Brawl - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
The Big Brawl (or Battle Creek Brawl as it is sometimes known on video) was the first movie I had ever seen with the incomparable Chan (not counting Cannonball Run), beautifully mixing kung-fu and slapstick in a way I had never seen before.
Many of the set pieces are exhilarating to watch, and along with the colorful supporting cast, The Big Brawl ends up being a fun flick to watch for the good action and bits of silly humor.
Bolstered by a memorable Lalo Schifrin (Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke) score, The Big Brawl is a lighthearted kung fu action-adventure that features the trademark Jackie Chan blend of action and laughs.

 MartialArtsMart.com - Battle Creek Brawl
Titled The Big Brawl for its 1980 U.S. release, this was Jackie's first attempt to break through to a western audience.
Battle Creek Brawl is an excellent martial arts film, directed by Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon, Game of Death, Gymkata, China O-Brien,) but it was followed by some poor marketing efforts on the part of Hollywood that prevented Jackie from finding his mainstream western audience for another decade and a half.
After Brawl, Jackie starred in two Cannonball Run movies in 1981 and 1984, followed by disappointing and disastrous Protector, directed by James Glickenhaus in 1985, before returning to Hong Kong.

After amazing success in the Asian market with stunners like 'Snake In The Eagle's Shadow' and 'Drunken Master', Jackie was given the opportunity to appear in 'The Big Brawl' aka 'Battle Creek Brawl', which was his first movie made for the American market.
The only bits really worth their salt are the training bits, but the actual combat scenes are lame and are more like the sort of thing you see in a WWF arena without the costumes (although some of the combatants' costumes are a bit iffy).
Jackie not being given his usual creative control either of the camera or what he could do in the action sequences was to be a big minus for his fans.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 19 (Ticker) -- Stephen Jackson made quite a first impression on the overheated rivalry between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons.
Jackson delivered knockouts of all kinds as the Pacers brawled with fans in the stands and on the court after a 97-82 victory over the Pistons, a game that was called with 45 seconds to play.
In one of the craziest melees in NBA history, Jackson, Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal all landed haymakers on unruly Pistons fans, who showed the worst side of their behavior by throwing everything from plastic bottles to chairs at members of the Pacers, who fought back - literally.

Jackie Chan was one of the biggest stars in the world at the time this was produced, but not in America, so The Big Brawl represented his attempt to get a hit in West.
José Ferrer makes an unlikely Mr Big, especially as his mother is more threatening, and he doesn't even get his comeuppance at the end, despite all the trouble he's caused for our hero.

But in marked contrast to, say, your average Chuck Norris movie, The Big Brawl uses the fast pace and elaborate choreography familiar from Hong Kong action films, together with Jackie Chan's trademark “pick up whatever happens to be handy and use it as an improvised weapon” fighting style.
With all the time The Big Brawl devotes to setting this plot point up, you’d expect it to have a major impact on the film.
