Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite

OK let me start off by saying I have seen the first 3 Blood Sports when I was young..... Number 1 and 2 were both really good, 3 was average but definitely took a step down from the previous 2. I heard how poor the 4th was, but I recently ordered a 4 combo pack movie just to get Kick Boxer. However low and behold Bloodsport 4 happened to be in that combo. I watched it for the first time a couple nights ago, and it was.... just..... strange..... I really don't know what els to say about it? Why did they have Daniel Bernhardt in it and playing a different character then the previous 2? None the less there is a Kumite in it, however I think it lasts for about 5 mins at most. The movie was just dull and boring. Nothing much els can be said about it. The acting was extremely terrible.... And there seemed to just be some really strange scenes that didn't belong in this movie. Basically to sum this piece of garbage up.... Don't waste your time with it.

P.s As for the Action (what very very very very very little there was) Actually wasn't terrible. The first fight of the movie Bernhardt is battling with another guy in some type of competition was kind of sweet. However not even the handful of action that is in it could save this trash. No wonder this movie is so hard to find. Movie stores are embarrassed to have it in stock.

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

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.

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.
