The Deadlands aka The B.A.D.lands

The B.A.D. gym set the scene for some awe inspiring workouts from a team with some serious spirit. The star studded cast (including James Rolleston, Lawrence Makoare and Te Kohe Tuhaka to name just a few) of Toa Fraser’s breath-taking NZ film, The Dead Lands, were put through their paces with B.A.D. coach cracking the whip. The team underwent a rigorous strength and conditioning training regime in preparation for the physicality required to portray on-screen warriors and showcase the ancient Maori martial art Mau Rakau.

After debuting at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival, The Dead Lands topped the Kiwi box office and won three Moa awards! Mad respect guys! We like to think the burgers helped in shaping these lean, mean, fighting machines!
