Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite

this is definitely the weakest of the "Bloodsport" series.it doesn't really have anything to do with the previous entries.Daniel Bernhardt returns as the hero,but as a totally different character.the movie has shades of Van Damme's "Death Warrant" but is nowhere near as good.it's unfortunate,because Bernhardt really shows he can act in this one.he has a real smoldering intensity.but his talents are wasted on this movie.there is more drama than action in this movie,but what action scenes there are,are pretty good though not as good as in previous entries.the last third of the movie degenerate into Bizarro land,and is quite absurd.this movie has a very low user rating on this site(1.9/10).i don't think it deserves that low of a rating however,despite the ridiculous ending.still,the most i can muster for "Bloodsport 4" is 3.5/10

the plot sucked..... it was so simple and rediculous, that who ever wrote it must have stolen it from 3rd grader... i've seen better acting a k-mart commercial.. the fighting scenes were ok....and i stress the word OK because you could easily tell that no contact was made on any kick or punch... i can't believe anyone could have gotten funding for this film. its watching garbage like this that makes me believe i could take a dump, slap the words bloodsport 5 on in and get a budget for another sequel starring Daniel Bernhardt with yet another name and stefanos blah blah whatever as Stavros for the 1000th time.... If you decide to watch this piece of trash, i feel sorry for you, please don't waste 90 minutes of your life like i did.

Bloodsport part one, two, and three were okay... so then I rented this one hoping that it would have good action. It doesn't. As a matter of fact, this movie is one of the dumbest. I can't believe people actually made one this dense... how could they ?

I have to be totally honest with you people about this one. This is a movie that everyone should avoid at all costs. It didn't seem possible that the Bloodsport-series could get as low as this, but it did. First of all: The acting has to be the worst I've ever seen. I can't believe that it's possible to act as bad as some of the people in this movie do. The two villain's are especially bad. The movie has a really dark feel to it, and I didn't like that at all. It's filmed in Bulgaria. I guess that was the only thing they could afford, but it looks really, really bad. Good fighting scenes sometimes save a really bad movie, but that doesn't happen here at all. The fighting scenes are in fact really bad, and they're a big waste of Bernhardt's great potential. Oh, did I forget to mention that the plot sucks big time? A VERY, VERY BAD movie indeed.

One thing I can't understand about a number of low budget B movies made in the last 15 years or so is why their makers seem to think they can pass various locations in Bulgaria off as American locations. I can tell them right now that except maybe movies taking place in the wilderness, this deception DOES NOT WORK. Including this location - it's painfully clear that this American-set movie was shot in Bulgaria in every scene, with its eastern architecture and costumes. Still, I might have forgiven this movie for that if it delivered the goods, but it doesn't. The movie botches the scenes where you think there would be some good gratuitous nudity, and the fights (less fights than you'd think, by the way) aren't very exciting, running very short and not having very spectacular choreography. The movie also runs very slowly, with nothing but some extremely bad acting to amuse the audience along the way. The series came to an end at this point, not a moment too soon.
