disgusting, overrated, pointless

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

In New York City, a serial killer with a very silly costume (Shahlavi) is going around beating up/killing all the meatheads in town. Chief Hutchins (Gorshin) assigns police detective Chuck Baker (Jeffreys) to the case. Aside from being an avid martial artist and cop, Baker also enjoys magic tricks. But when the man known only as "the killer" ramps up his evil doings by taunting the NYPD via his mastery of the newly-formed "internet", a serial killer expert, Ken O'Hara (Daniels) is brought in to assist Baker. O'Hara is a good-natured divorced man with a young daughter, Lauren (Jones). Of course, he is also a highly skilled martial artist. When it is discovered that The Killer has murdered O'Hara's beloved, elderly, mustachioed Kendo instructor, and is now after his cousin Kelly (Rocci), O'Hara finally gets angry and wants revenge. Naturally, at first O'Hara and Baker don't get along, but they must team up to stop the mysterious killer with the detachable metal fingers.Bloodmoon is a very entertaining movie, and has a pretty insane, off-kilter vibe. Sure, it's a bit overlong at 100-plus minutes, and some of the more repetitive aspects of the movie could have been trimmed, but the excellent fights make up for any other minor flaws. It's all Hong-Kong style fast-paced, creative moves meant to please fans of this genre. No doubt this was due to the fact that this is a Seasonal Films production directed by Kuang Hsiung, who recently served as one of the action directors for Ip Man. And the writer, Keith Strandberg, is responsible for penning the No Retreat No Surrender and American Shaolin series. So that should give you some idea of what to expect here.Chuck Jeffreys has charisma and humor coming out of every pore of his body, and even his magic tricks come complete with wacky sound effects. His resemblance to Eddie Murphy/Robert Townsend is uncanny.Gary Daniels is, as always, extremely likable as the "mind hunter", or profiler. He really gives Richard Norton a run for his money in the "white guy with an accent who is an excellent martial artist but is also very personable and likable" department. The legendary Frank Gorshin is awesome as the stereotypical angry chief. It was nice to see him, especially in a role like that. Let's not forget Jeffrey Pillars as the classic computer geek Justice, and there's even an early appearance from wrestler Rob Van Dam. Brandie Rocci is nice as the spunky Kelly in a role that will remind you of Cynthia Rothrock. Shahlavi as the baddie, complete with metal shoes that make for painful kicking, was a cross between impressive martial arts and out-and-out silliness. Kind of like the movie itself, really.Add to that the nostalgic 90's computers (and surely some of the earliest references to the Internet, GPS, and texting ever seen on film - movies like this never get credit for being ahead of their time) and you have a rollicking good time.Great quality fights and many funny moments are the name of the game for Bloodmoon.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Let me start by saying "This is one of the most influential movies I have ever experienced in my life." Every day I yearn for the mystical powers endowed on the lively and comical character 'Chucky.' I strive for the relationship betwixt the loyal and warm-hearted heroic star; Ken O'Hara and his dojo master.There are some very touching messages provided in this A+ action thriller, including the reparations of a broken marriage, the unification of peoples of all color, the unbreakable bonds of a father and daughter, and of course over coming disabilities both physical and mental in nature. A truly inspirational film for all walks of life.You must watch it. Preferably in a large, culturally diverse group.

Many martial arts films always have the factors coming from Hong Kong. The choreography in this movie is well made. And the plot is very enlightening. Here you have a NYPD Detective Chuck Baker(Chuck Jeffreys) who also got a trick or two up his sleeves is trying to solve the crimes of fighting champions being murdered by a steel-fingered psycho(Darren Shahlavi). This guy reminds me of that steel finger joke in the movie "Half a Loaf of Kung Fu". This guy is very brutal, and he's relentless. I would fight to the death against this creep. He kills the master, and he kills this tough man named Dutch(Rob Van Dam, RVD OF ECW, WCW Fame). Man, I thought he would take the guy out simply. Oh Well! Then there's the niece of the master, Kelly(Brandie Rocci) who can kick serious butt against the bad guys. Ken O'Hara(Gary Daniels) is a swift and smooth fighter, whose demons at work hinders his recovery, when he fights to get his family back, he and Baker have a fighting chance against the killer. This movie is non-stop, and that stunts everyone pull, is a classic. Enjoy the fight, enjoy the movie, it was worth the watch. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.

This movie does a great job of continuing the "Superfights" legend. Created by mostly the same team (and watch for cameo appearances of Superfight characters), this one differs from most martial arts movies in that, just like Superfights, it has quite an interesting story and characters that develop and evolve through the film. Though maybe not as much of a martial arts-fest as Superfights, it still ranks up as one of the best martial arts movies of the 90's, greatly recommended to those who are tired of the typical movies. A must-see for the lover of intelligent action movies.
