Tapped Out is a 2014 action drama directed and co-written by Allan Ungar. It stars Michael Biehn, Cody Hackman, Krzysztof Soszynski, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, and Martin Kove. It was first released theatrically in Canada and Brazil, and then in North America on DVD and Blu-ray on May 27, 2014.
Michael Shaw (Cody Hackman) is a troubled teenager who is sentenced to community service at a rundown Karate school owned and operated by the mysterious Reggie (Michael Biehn). There, he rediscovers his passion for a discipline he left behind long ago. During a local Mixed Martial Arts fight, Michael encounters Dominic Grey (Krzysztof Soszynski), the man who brutally murdered his parents in a carjacking several years ago. Hurt and enraged, Michael takes it upon himself to find a way to exact revenge. Enlisting the help of Reggie and his friends (Anderson Silva) and (Lyoto Machida), Michael begins to train and learn every skill necessary in order to step into the cage and go toe to toe with the man who took everything from him.
Filming took place over the course of 5 weeks in London, Ontario during September 2012, while scenes with Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida were shot during November in Toronto, Ontario.
