Not real blood but .....
When I was younger and impressed by a number of martial arts movies myself and a number of like minded mates decided to re-create a couple of scenes using our own props to make it look more realistic. After arranging the garden furniture to look more oriental (Quite hard when you have nothing but white plastic patio furniture and a couple of cricket stumps) and a trip to the local sweet shop for a bottle of cheap cherryade and a bag of millions we were ready.

After borrowing my mates video camera we would put the millions in a our mouths along with a small amount of cherryade and pretend to knock each others teeth out- accompanied with the fake blood (The millions turned white after two seconds in your mouth- therefore the were your fake teeth).

I really wish there were better alternatives than the cherryade for the fake blood because it tasted rank and also we could have fooled a few more people with a ‘blood’ that didn’t foam after it hit the ground (saying that we still got reported to the local neighbourhood watch a number of older residents for filming each other while fighting ).
