How sad is this?
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MoreI have seen many movie about deadly martial arts tournament before but Lady Bloodfight is the first one with only female participation but not oversexualized the female body like 2006 DOA and you can clearly see the fight scene cause each actor really put themselves out there and give us a bloody fun time.A welcome return of director Chris Nahon after 7 years and the new badass action star Amy Johnston
View MoreNothing 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.
View MoreLady 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.
View MoreTerrible in every which way; rudimentary shadow of a story, amateurish acting, incompetent editing, sub-par choreography, direction.. what, you think somebody actually directed this?Kickboxer-like films' value rests most heavily upon the quality of the fight scenes. It is therefore important to recruit actors competent enough in martial arts to make it all believable. Girl-power type of films on the other hand are infested with girls who are not even fit enough to jog; the girl recruited in Brazil seemed too clumsy to have actually walked too fast in the past. Laughable. Avoid like the plague.
