Ross Kemp Papua New Guinea 'Gunpoint' Scene: Locals Say It's A Staged Act

Ross Kemp's famous "gunpoint" scene in Papua New Guinea has been circulating online, and many people are wondering if it is real. While the scene is well-made and suspenseful, there are several reasons to believe that it is staged.

Ross Kemp Papua New Guinea 'Gunpoint' Scene: A Staged Act?

The scene takes place in a village, where coffee gardens and patches of vegetables and sweet potatoes are visible. This suggests that the scene is set in a populated area, where hold-ups are uncommon. Real-life hold-ups typically occur along the main roads or in areas far from villages.

In addition, the so-called "Rascals" offer Kemp tobacco and betel nut. This is a traditional gesture of friendship and peace in PNG. It is (HIGHLY) unlikely that real-life "Rascals" would engage in such a friendly gesture with foreigners.

Furthermore, Kemp and his crew appear to be surprisingly calm and collected in the scene. If they were truly being held at gunpoint by a dangerous gang, they would likely be visibly scared and shaken.

(Oh, should mention that there were two groups that confronted him at different times. Why would they do that when there is strenght in numbers, and suprise is the gang's asset? It just did not add up)

Finally, the scene is well-lit, not typical of real-life hold-ups in PNG, which typically occur at night or in less populated areas.


Implications of the Ross Kemp Papua New Guinea 'Gunpoint' Scene

The staging of the "gunpoint" scene is problematic because it reinforces the stereotype that PNG is a dangerous and lawless place. This stereotype is unfair to the country and its people, and it can discourage people from visiting PNG or investing in the country.

It is important to note that PNG is a diverse country with a rich culture and history, and freindly people. While there are some areas of PNG that are dangerous, there are also many areas that are safe and welcoming for visitors. 

If you are interested in learning more about PNG, I encourage you to do your own research and talk to people who have actually lived and worked there. Don't base your opinion on a staged television scene.


Conclusion

Based on this analysis, it is reasonable to conclude that the Ross Kemp "gunpoint" scene in PNG is staged. This is further supported by the fact that PNG locals and travelers are familiar with the realities of life in PNG and know that real-life hold-ups are much different than what is depicted in the scene.

PNG Kumuls vs Fiji Bati

The PNG Kumuls will return to action in week 3, when they will play the Fiji Bati on Sunday, October 29th at 4pm AEDT at Santos Stadium in Port Moresby.

The Fiji Bati are the defending champions of the Pacific Cup, and they will be looking to avenge their defeat to the PNG Kumuls in last year's final. However, the PNG Kumuls are a strong side and will be looking to continue their winning form after their victory over the Cook Islands in week 1.


Fiji Bati Key Players

The Fiji Bati are a strong and talented team, and they will be looking to make a big impact in the Pacific Cup. Here is a brief overview of some of their key players:

  • Sunia Turuva: Turuva is a rising star in the NRL, and he is one of the most exciting young players in the world. He is a versatile player who can play at centre or wing, and he is known for his speed, skill, and athleticism.
  • Maika Sivo: Sivo is a powerful winger who is one of the best try-scorers in the NRL. He is also a strong defender, and he is a key part of the Fiji Bati team.
  • Mikaele Ravalawa: Ravalawa is another powerful winger who is a dangerous threat on attack. He is also a good defender, and he is a key part of the Fiji Bati team.
  • Jahream Bula: Bula is a young and talented fullback who is making his Test debut in the Pacific Cup. He is a good ball-runner and has a good kicking game.
  • Brandon Wakeham: Wakeham is an experienced halfback who is a good organiser and playmaker. He will be looking to lead the Fiji Bati attack.
  • Tui Kamikamica: Kamikamica is a big and powerful forward who is the captain of the Fiji Bati. He is a good leader and is a key part of the Fiji Bati pack.

The Fiji Bati also have a number of other talented players in their squad, such as Viliame Kikau, Semi Valemei, and Penioni Tagituimua.

The PNG Kumuls will need to be wary of the Fiji Bati's key players in week 3 of the Pacific Cup. If they can stop these players from performing, they will be in a good position to win the match.
