Micheal bay & TF4 Crew get attacked on set in Hong Kong.

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

Michael Bay has posted a message on his official website regarding the recently reported altercation during the Transformers: Age of Extinction Hong Kong filming. He confirms the incident did take place, but states not all the details that are circulating are accurate. See his statement below:

"Michael Bay wrote:Hi, it’s Michael.
Yes, the story is being passed around is not all true! Yes, some drugged up guys were being belligerent asses to my crew for hours in the morning of our first shoot day in Hong Kong. One guy rolled metal carts into some of my actors trying to shake us down for thousands of dollars to not play his loud music or hit us with bricks.

Every vendor where we shot got paid a fair price for our inconvenience, but he wanted four times that amount. I personally told this man and his friends to forget it we were not going to let him extort us. He didn’t like that answer. So an hour later he came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air conditioner unit. He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face, but I ducked threw the air unit on the floor and pushed him away. That’s when the security jumped on him. But it took seven big guys to subdue him. It was like a Zombie in Brad Pitt’s movie World War Z—he lifted seven guys up and tried to bite them. He actually bit into one of the guards Nike shoe, insane. Thank god it was an Air Max, the bubble popped, but the toe was saved.

Then it took fifteen Hong Kong cops in riot gear to deal with these punks. In all, four guys were arrested for assaulting the officers.

After that, we had a great day shooting here in Hong Kong."

I might not be fond of Bay's work, but Jesus.

Bay said it's not true, it's overblown, so I'm venturing to guess that's the truth.

See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

Has anyone here seen the TMZ TV show that had a micheal bay on it via a web cam interview concerning the TF4 Hong kong set attack video? Clearly this seems like it's packed with tons of lies & makes micheal bay look like a super hero or ninja or the hulk. it's amusing & clearly all lies,as micheal is just not in that great of physical shape to pull off all the feats/events he said he did.

Last week on the TMZ tv show,Micheal bay got interviewed via a web cam. In the interview he claims this one guy tried to slap/punch him in the face a few times but he was skilled enough to keep ducking & dodging the slaps/punches. Then Micheal bay claims that same guy kept coming at him with a tower design air conditioner that the guy had lifted over his head. Micheal bay claims he to took the tower airconditioner from the guy & threw it. Lastly micheal claims he grabed the guy by the throat & pushed him down/away. then ofcause micheal says the cops came & arrested a bunch of guys.

Since nobody filmed the attack other than "maybe" micheal bay's crew. If micheal has any footage he isn't going to release it. So it clearly gives micheal plenty of room to create whatever story he feels like crafting out of thin air to make himself look like this Alpha male. it's just amusing that micheal would be able to grab a tower airconditioner in mid air from another guys arms that weighs over 50+ pounds,then lift it over his head & throw it. Even more amusing is that micheal has this boxing/karate training where he could dodge several slaps/punches. lastly it's so far fetched to even picture micheal bay physically being able to grab a guys throat & throw him on the floor,clearly micheal must be a ninja & has had some super hero training from batman.
