Bloodfight

If you are complaining about the acting, story or writing of a movie called Lady Blood fight you should not be watching a movie called LADY BLOOD FIGHT. This is not Amistad and doesn't claim to be. It's Lady Blood Fight and it delivers what it advertises: Ladies, Blood, and Fighting and it does it well.

Sorry feminists but here ya go. This has an all female leading cast and attractive girls beating each other up the lead is now a successful stunt woman fun to watch while wasted. There are many conversations between two or even 6 women that have nothing to do with a man, and then they kungfu fight each other. It's certainly not an A list Hollywood production but if you like seeing lots of cute girls beat each other up in a non anime/fantasy scenario give it a watch.

Nothing more, nothing less. If you liked movies like "Bloodsport" back in the 80s, expect a somewhat modernized, female reimagination. Story is bland, decent choreography and lots of blood. Entertaining enough, but don't expect to be blown away.

I wasn't planning on writing anything about this great film, but my eye caught the highest ranked review that is surprisingly negative and unhelpful.

I honestly feel that Lady Bloodfight is one of the best martial arts movies that I have seen in many years, but for different reasons.

I lived in Asia for seven years working, traveling and studying. I feel that the director did a good job at highlighting the beauty of Hong Kong.

I spent years learning various kung fu forms and weapons in subfreezing weather in Northern China near Siberia and North Korea.

I studied with Shaolin monks and spent a lot of time learning Chinese philosophy and Buddhism.

There is nothing like learning how to use a Shaolin rope dart in -20 degree weather at 6 am surrounded by strangers exercising in a giant park.

My training was quite casual compared to the realistic and painful training depicted in the film.

This film does an excellent job at illustrating the genuine focus of martial arts as self-control, inner stability and personal development.

The fight sequences are raw, well-choreographed and absolutely amazing. I even learned a few new moves for my weapons training.

The actresses are tough, beautiful and independent, which will be offensive to critical and narrow-minded people.

This is the first well-made martial arts film that I have seen that truly demonstrates female strength and empowerment.

There are a few confusing plot twists, but I agree with the LA Times that movie goers should simply skip the plot and focus on the exciting action.

I tend to like these types of movies, and I'm a fan of the original Bloodsport. That being said, I primarily go into these movies to see martial arts. I was a little disappointed here because the choreography was average only. There are many quick cuts, and most of the fights were unconvincing. While the original Bloodsport is certainly not up to modern standards of movies like Scott Adkin's Ninja 2 or Ip Man, the fights in this movie were definitely worse.
