Bumfights: Cause for Concern is an independent video originally created by Indecline in documentary style showing homeless people ("bums") fighting and attempting amateur stunts in exchange for money, alcohol, and other incentives. The film was produced by Ryen McPherson in 2002 and has been distributed mainly over the Internet. In 2003, Indecline sold the rights to another company, who in turn credited the fake names "Shannon Muston" and "Taylor White" as the creators of the film. The film has proved to be highly controversial: it has been banned in a number of countries and has led to felony charges, misdemeanor convictions and civil lawsuits for the producers. The film-makers maintain that the production of the video was a mutually beneficial arrangement and that the homeless people depicted freely chose to participate.

In July 2004, four teenagers in Melbourne, Australia, faced murder charges after they set fire to a homeless man's makeshift shelter, supposedly inspired by the Bumfights videos. In August 2005, two 19-year-old men attacked homeless Los Angeles residents with baseball bats, saying they were inspired by Bumfights.
