The producers are not the ones who made him say some of the thigns he's said in the interviews. Clearly he attempted to position himself as a badass, but he can't pull it off

If you look at Bourdain's guest blog entry on Coliccio's blog from a few days ago, a comment from a reader is that he remembers Hung doing a flying kick on his brother in high school. Sounded like Hung being a jerk and picking on someone more than defending himself, unless I misread. And what an absurd way to do so! So being an over the top a-hole apparently isn't new to Hung.
