Review of Bloodfist

Bloodfist (1989)
1/10
A true insult to martial arts and film

Warning: Spoilers
I have no idea why these people went through with making this piece of crap movie, but it was sickening in its pathetic-ness. There was not one thing good about this whole thing.

For starters, the plot. The plot is basically a crappy combination of Bloodsport and Kickboxer. The hero, Jake, goes to the Far East to track down the one who killed his brother. In order to do so, he gets entered into the same underground fighting competition that his brother had been in when he got killed. In the process, he falls for a white woman who is an exotic dancer at a club in the city there. Cliché-ridden and a knockoff of two good movies.

Second, the cast. I really can't call any of these people actors. Don Wilson, while he may be the greatest kickboxer of the century, is one of the worst actors to ever be put on camera. The rest of the cast whose names I don't know were about as pathetic as Wilson.

Then there's the fighting. Dear Lord in Heaven, I have never seen such sorry, atrocious fighting in my entire life! These supposed-to-be expert fighters and martial artist--with the exception of Don Wilson and Billy Blanks, none of these people should be mentioned in the same conversation with the martial arts! I don't know where these knuckleheads came from, but their "martial arts" was almost nauseating to watch--especially Wilson's friend that he trained with: how those were supposed to be kicks, I couldn't fathom if I were on PCP! This truly is one of, if not the, worst films I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen some pretty crappy stuff! For the sake of your brain cells, especially to your sense of the martial arts if you have any, DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM!!!!!
