How do they film dogs fighting in movies?
Not sure how they did it in that movie but I know in some others, the dogs are trained to "play fight" and they add in sound effects that make it sound like the dogs are really aggressive and they use a lot of various takes spliced together and cut away to make it look real. They never film those shots in one take, it's too difficult to do.
Fighting movie set in Ireland?
I recently saw a clip of a movie and i was unable to get the title. It was two fighters in what looked like a barn (wooden ring with dirt/hay on the ground) and the cast of the movie all had Irish accents. There was a short, small guy with medium black hair who was toying with this large, buff guy. He was slapping him around and making a fool of him. Anyone have any clue which film this is?
Game Of Thrones Season 4 Episode 10 (The Children): Where was The Hound's fight scene filmed?
Primary filming for the show's exterior scenes is in North Ireland. Mostly because the show's studios are in Belfast.All of Arya and The Hound's filming have been done in North Ireland. All of Brienne and Pod's exterior scenes were also in North Ireland. So I assume that the same production team used the same general location for the scene with all four.See also:Where is Game of Thrones filmed? and Where is season four of Game of Thrones filming?

Why did Hollywood promote Irish terrorists in films like "The Devil's Own"?
I’m not going to talk about “The Devil’s Own” because I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s worth mentioning 1994’s “Blown Away”. If you haven’t seen that, and I can’t blame you, it’s 1994’s lesser-known Mad Bomber film (“Speed” was much more successful.)The film is a duel of wits between two former IRA terrorists, played - with terrible Irish accents - by Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges. Tommy Lee wants revenge on Jeff, because Jeff balked at an IRA bombing that would kill innocents (imagine!) and got him sent to prison. Having escaped, he’s now hunted Jeff down in Boston, where he is working as a cop under a false name.It’s a silly movie, really, but you have to remember that it came out a few years before the Good Friday agreement, during a period when the Provisional IRA was still bombing, shooting and maiming people. It felt in generally poor taste at the time - a couple of American actors doing bad Irish accents, dealing with these weighty issues that were still both deadly and unresolved but which they had no experience of - and it was set in Boston where, to be brutally frank, the IRA had been raising money from sympathetic Americans for years.It also treated bombing as a sort of superpower - Tommy and Jeff trying to outwit each other via the medium of explosives - and possibly that was part of the poor taste, this sense that we should admire Jeff’s skill with making IEDs, that part of the glamour of his proficiency comes from his years of making them for the IRA, who have all the best bomb-makers, don’tchaknow.There was a general sense in which Hollywood’s treatment of the Troubles tended towards a certain ‘there are fine people on both sides’ attitude. We’d get a story about the IRA in which there were Good IRA Bombers and also Bad IRA Bombers, with the former apparently wracked by guilt all the time and occasionally intervening conscientiously to prevent civilian deaths. There was nothing inherently wrong with armed struggle, and the ethical distinctions involved were about tactics.I don’t think I was ever outraged by any of this, by the way - it wasn’t terribly surprising that we’d get cartoon versions of real things from Hollywood, retooled to work as part of an action movie. Remember when the horrifc collapse of the former Yugoslavia supplied multiple vaguely-Slavic baddies with back-stories in 90s cinema? But there were occasions in which the IRA was treated quite fluffily by people a long way away.
