Lady Bloodfight

Nothing about this movie was great.It is not full with end to end excitement.Poor video editing punches in fist fight was not extra ord. Weak screenplay also sum up the movie.But to be honest,I was happy to watch an arcade fight full of girls.Also credit to the directing especially the off action scenes.

Fair acting considering a clumsy and predictable script. The fight choreography is this film's saving grace. A very predictable script that seems to follow "Blood Sport" a little too close. Cheesy ending. But worth a rainy afternoon watch just for the martial arts and the beautiful women performing aerobatic stunts.

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.

Lady Bloodfight is a movie with a heart on its right place. But it is too hard to take it seriously in this day and age. Let me tell you why.

First of all, I had no problem with the story. I liked the training sequences. I liked to actresses playing in it, and this all taking place in Hong Kong, was nice to see. There were some references to movies such as Bloodsport and Kickboxer, and it brought me back to the times in which martial arts movies just needed to be bloody and people kicking each others asses. Later in the movie there are some (unnecessary) plot twists, but you can predict from the start where everything is heading to. I was surprised to see that in the end of the movie, they didn't show a scene of "everybody is kung fu fighting" in it, yes the movie is that predictable. Often goofy. There were many times I was laughing my ass of during scenes which were meant to be " touching" ?

But here (the movie being predictable) also lies a major problem: all the fight scenes in the movie, were merely ranging from "meh" to utterly bad. With movies such as the Raid and Undisputed series, it is nearly impossible to come up with standard fare anymore (especially if you realize that the movie was produced by Hong Kong movie legend Bey Logan and Kiss of the Dragon Director Chris Nahon). While a Hong Kong veteran stunt team was in charge of the fight choreography, the fighting was for most part fairly bland. Which is really a pity, as I see that many actresses in this movie do have the moves and talents. I really wonder why it didn't work out like this. Also, the uninspiring locations in the movie were a huge turn-off. Come freaking on, you are in Hong Kong but you let most of the movie take place in a container dock? This was really a missed opportunity. However, outside of the Kumite-sequences, there was some fairly nice cinematography – especially rural Hong Kong scenes.

We, Kickboxer and Bloodsport fans, don't have high standards. So you really need to mess up, if you want to make use unimpressed. While I did enjoy watching the movie to a lesser degree, the level of action, the sometimes goofy storyline, and uninspired cinematography left me yearning for watching a re-run of the JCVD classics.

Nice try though.

I wanted to see this movie because i really enjoyed the lead acress, Amy Johnston, in the movie Accident Man and became a fan of her work, watching her youtube channel and such.

It wasn't an easy task to finally get my hands on the movie as a Canadian. Every streaming services refused to take my money, litteraly, because i own a canadian credit card. Eventually i imported the DVD from amazon or ebay, can't remember wich.

So after a bit of a wait finally i was able to see it and i was not disapointed. I love tournament movies and i love revenge movies, and this movie is both of it. The fights are pretty brutal with a lot of blood and the choreographies are very well done. Every actresses and stuntwoman who work on it did a great job for the action.

The story is simple but effective. You really get behind Jane and its nice to see her character evolve in the movie. Its nothing ground breaking of extremely original but its more than fine for a martial movie fan.

8 out of 10 may seem high for some peoples, but i always judge a movie on the fun i had watching it, and i definately had tons of fun watching this one.

Of course its an indy flick with not a huge budget, but considering what they had, they did a fantastic job. I definately recommand.
