Lady Bloodfight
Jane is a beautiful but troubled American girl backpacking through Japan, when her raw street fighting skills draw the attention of Oshima, Japanese karate champion, who recruits and trains her to fight in the vicious, all-female, underground martial arts tournament known as "The Kumite". After months of rigorous preparation, Jane is ready to face off against the deadliest female fighters in the world, including Ling, the Chinese apprentice of Oshima's nemesis. But other nefarious forces lie in the shadows, and Jane and Ling will have to unite on a journey that will take them from the gritty underworld of Hong Kong to the glitz of Macao, before deciding who really is the best female fighter on the planet.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Like the title says,Nice actionscenes & beautiful scenery.It's a fightingmovie about the Kumité, so what did you expect? A psychological drama that wins 2 Oscars?No, just a feel-good-movie with a lot of clichés, but is that bad?I liked the feel of the images, good guys & bad duys but the filming-style looks good, this could have been a better film.We need more female fighting heroes.
The film opens with two women fighting in the Kumite (Ku-ma-ta) in Hong Kong to a draw. One is in black and the other in white showing off some simple Yin-Yang. The woman in black refuses to split the prize so the two fighters are to train someone for the 435th event five years later. We see various street tough girls around the world get invitations and then we see Jane (Amy Johnston) a PBR drinking waitress harassed by rude customers. Who else in the world is tougher? She leaves her waitress job and takes her skills to Hong Kong to compete. Okay, she has some formal training and an ulterior motive which we discover later as an attempt to create a plot outside of women beating each other up. After all, who wants to just watch cat fights? In Hong Kong we see the woman in black train the Hong Kong version of Harley Quinn (Muriel Hofmann). Jane, our Barbie doll, trains with the woman in white, who she once refers to as Mrs. Miyagi. Yes there are gross similarities to "The Karate Kid." The training period which makes up so many fight films showing unorthodox training techniques that figure in later on, was relatively brief .The film has some ties to real life. In the film Jane was trained by her father, Amy was trained by her father David Johnston. Amy was also a stunt double in "Suicide Squad" and is Scarlett Johansson's stunt double.Mayling Ng, martial arts fighter and bikini contestant is also in the film. There are a lot of hard bodies in locker room scenes in various stages of dress. Blood and killing.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Early on the film cast Asian stars like Maggie Q and called itself Lady Bloodsport. That would have been a great movie but it didn't come as planned.However, Lady Bloodfight, where Bloodfight like Bloodsport pretty much used the same villain, isn't a bad movie. It's different in many ways from either Bloodsport or Bloodfight as it contains some form of magic and is setup differently. The Minute fights are pretty formulaic in comparison to Bloodsport but twists come that makes it different.The fighting is more modernized yet the fight choreography could use work. Amy Johnston's stunts are superb as always and many of the girls, including her, fight scantily clad. The fights are brutal and despite being much more low budget than Bloodsport the production values are good.At the time of this writing, Lady Bloodfight, released only to Sweden is sold out but an American release is forthcoming.Except for fans of the GIRLFIGHT genre, I don't see this appealing to the American martial arts audience, which is sadly misogynist against female fighting. 9/10.For a more brutal yet clothed Amy Johnston's see Female Fight Club.
Terrible 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.
