Dude, that was awesome 
I loved the set, the lighting, and the overall look of the film. The acting, soundtrack, and camerawork was pretty decent as well. It was also nice to see some awesome fight scenes, not bombarded with shaky-cam. Overall, this was near flawless in my opinion. Although some of the fighting sound effects (particularly the missed swipes) stuck out a bit too much, but overall, nice work
EDIT: Ditto on what Zensteve said. That shirt-rip was hilarious.

thanks Steve !
My previous trafficking movie, the Tramp is all done! It was great learning experience of making a feature on no budget haha pm/facebook me your address, I ll email you the copy!
As far is this project - I was at work and got a ridiculous idea for a movie, so I decided to shoot a bunch of scenes, put it all together and pass it around before committing to it.
So far I get positive responses

Thanks Chimp!
All the lighting was done from car headlights and a bounce board. Can't afford lights. But I'm glad this trick worked!

Looked great to me. Kudos to you my friend 
I thought the lighting and editing was really effective for the fight scene and the crowd environment. You definitely have a knack for shooting nice-looking exploitation stuff, so keep doing what you do!
Not sure about the fight choreography though. The couple of swing-and-miss punches looked pretty slow, so I felt like her dodging them was to be expected rather than any indicator that she's skilled. It might be as simple as speeding them up a bit in post, or you might just want to take a look at slightly tighter fight choreography for future scenes. There has to be a real sense, in fights, that, if someone misses a punch, they do it by an OMG A WHISKER or if someone blocks a punch its HELL THAT'S TOUGH. It's part sound design and part choreography I think, but it'll raise this scene a lot.
There's some great stuff from the BTS of The Raid that shows how they did really visceral fight choreography.

Sweet! Thank you Nick for the video I ll check it out!
I ll check it out!That was really cool.
The lighting felt appropriate; the whole scene looks and feels like it would be set in an abandoned parking garage or after hours in the car park of a bar, so lighting it with car headlights actually seems quite realistic (in fact, having a few more cars visible in the background, with their lights as practicals, might've been good).
Good work!

Must be a black magic camera? I noticed a black spot on a light toward the end.
Looks pretty spiffy though. I liked it.

mad_hater, thank you ! glad you liked it!
Will, nope! not black magic 5d. Good eye on a black spot! I was thinking about jumping in and removing it, but then just said "f**k it"...

Interesting, was not aware the 5D suffered from similar black spots. I'll be sure to point that out next time someone starts bitching about their black magic camera not being as awesome as they wish (which, for as awesome as they are is pretty silly to bitch about).
Im sure gear snobs would find something to bitch about f900
Just frame a shot and shoot it!Im sure gear snobs would find something to bitch about f900
Probably true.. I just find it really kind of sad, but hilarious at the same time.. People bitched that BMD announced the cameras, and didn't deliver when they initially had projected delivery for. Then when the cameras shipped, they bitch that there are less features and/or issues with the initial firmware, and continue to bitch that new better firmware doesn't come out fast enough. All the while, seemingly ignoring the fact that they've got a camera who's nearest equivalent in performance/features is about 4x the price they paid for their camera.
Being a software developer I probably have a better handle on the whole 'project manager triangle' thing than a lot of people though, so I totally get the "you can have, good, cheap, or fast" and at best you get to pick two of those (often times only one) and can never get all three.
Anyway.. thread derailment over.. back to talking about your scene.
Not yet I had an idea for a movie and writing the screenplay right now. We shot all of the important trailer scenes that I know will be in a final version of a screenplay. That way when I ll have screenplay ready , i ll have a trailer cut for it as well
