Stephen Dorff beaten up in new prison drama

Stephen Dorff was glad when gritty prison drama Felon was over – because he spent the entire shoot nursing bangs, scrapes and concussions.
The Backbeat star shot scenes in a working prison and the tense atmosphere onset led to over-enthusiastic fight scenes.
He explains, “I got hit a couple of times. The fights we had were so real and so frenetic and they weren’t choreographed, so it was a melee of mixed martial arts and grappling, strength and power. We were all just basically knocking the crap out of people. In doing that, I bumped heads a few times. I got a concussion a couple of times. My face swelled up a little bit and I had a big knot on my head. But I’ve got hurt in movies where I hadn’t done anything, silly things like you’re jumping off a car as it’s moving at slow speed and you tweak your back.”
