At the end of https://umd.net/forums/topicid/687704 Pinhead mentioned some mud fight in a Russian soap opera. I did some digging and found the exact show and episode. The show is called "Grand". In the series 2, episode 22 of the show there is a mud fight between Mila Sivatskaya and Olga Kuzmina. The mud fight starts at 14:14. The entire show can be watched here: https://kinobase.org/serial/119380-grand
(to select season/episode, click on the 3 horizontal bars in the bottom right corner of the player)

Btw, the actress Olga Kuzmina is also gunged with tomato sauce in another show "Kitchen" s02e31 (see https://umd.net/forums/some-messy-clips-found-on-youtube).

I've just found the episode on dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x76bi5y
Here, the fight starts at 14:00.

Holy crap, that was a surprisingly good mainstream wam scene!

Worst music EVER.

Yeah, it's awful. This song is used often in Russian comedy films/shows whenever there is some fight or skirmish. It's analogous to Yakety Sax it US shows.

It is the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46, Part 4 - In the Hall of the Mountain King by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg.

Or....to quote John Cleese as Basil Fawlty when Sybil was complaining about Basil listening to classical music as being as being a racket..."It's Brahms.....Brahms 3rd racket".

So this music is Grieg's 46th racket.

Emmerdale tried it a few times, bikini clad girls getting splattered in cowsh. Two women fight over a man in mud, a business woman getting pushed into a pool. I gave up on it though because it was getting too ridiculous for words.

To me the scene is a miss, the actual money shots, the two women going from clean to mucky, are missing, because they cut to shots of the people watching and then back to the pool with the two participants already almost completely muddy. Reasonable enough editing in the context of a comedy soap, but a dead stop from the WAM POV for me. I guess if someone's more into the "wrestling in mud" than "going from clean to muddy" parts, it's probablyt OK though.

If you meant the song that is played during the fight (both fights actually), then it is the "Mahalageasca" by Mahala Rai Banda.

I agree with the criticisms. The recent generation of film editors/directors don't want a scene to last more than two seconds.

On the plus side, well dressed women wearing short skirts tangling in the mud. We need more of that.

Some additional behind the scenes footage would be nice. Unfortunately, except some photos, it appears that is was never taken.
