I wanted to like this...I watched it for one reason only -my favorite Bulgarian actor is in it -the late Ivan Ivanov. In the past he had made truly great films. He was very handsome and exceptionally talented man.
Unfortunately, in 1989 the political situation in my home country changed dramatically for the worst. Everything built and achieved by then was destroyed including our film industry, which was sold to foreigners for peanuts. Ivan Ivanov and many other of our amazing actors and actresses were kicked out and consequently rehired for small, insignificant parts in insignificant productions.
I see no point of sharing my opinion on Bloodsport 4. I agree with the rest of the reviewers about the confused plot, the botched up choreography and the lack of production values. But for me personally, it was extremely painful to watch our exceptional leading actor reduced to a pathetic villain with 10 minutes pathetic screentime in a pathetic parody of a movie. Shortly after this disaster, he withdrew from the industry and never returned. I thank him for this. He didn't deserve such humiliation.
Our one and only Ivan Ivanov died on 31 January this year.
Light and love to his tormented soul on the way to Heaven!
