Journey Through Our Film Shoot
Set Photos by Jon Gunnar Gylfason
Day 22 - Reunited
Andy Doc Dixon worked for years to get George and Crystal reunited. Before he was able to get George transferred to the Special Needs Prison where Crystal was, he and Crystal had a come-to-Jesus. See the deleted scenes.
In respect for George himself, we are not sharing the photos of Crystal when she was sick. Our grip and electric crew even built walls for him to pass by in the prison to get to set for his own scenes and not have to witness Crystal sick again. We hope you understand and respect him as much as we do.
Go through photos the next day or skip down to choose any day.
Journey through more of our days of filming:
George fought in all the Friday Night Fights in prison and knocked out all the boxers, including “Memphis.”
Andy Doc Dixon had a prison band on the inside. He was allowed to travel and perform the same as his best friend, boxer George Lee Martin was allowed to travel for Friday Night Fights.
See the day of filming when George The Hammer Martin turned down the 1984 Olympics as well as the administration during the 1985 riots.
Scenes from the 1985 riots that happened out on the yard. As well as George and Crystal being transferred to different prisons.
Actor Shawn-Caulin Young plays Crystal, the real life transgender cellmate and love of undefeated boxer George The Hammer Martin.
