Customer Reviews of Bloodfist

Absolute fantastic kung fu franchise
WKA world Kickboxing Champ Don "The Dragon" Wilson didn't exactly start out his carrer as a thespian, but he makes a really cool action star. The plot is basically just another of those revenge stories, in which Wilson enters a karate tournament in manila to track down the punk that destroyed his brother. There is fantastic fighting here, and Karate cahamp/Tae Bo founder Billy Blanks makes a particularly fearsome opponent for the tiny Wilson. The story follows the standard revenge formula, but the action is very well done, and Don "The Dragon" Wilson makes the whole damn thing work.

This produced seven sequels?!!
I just saw my first movie out of the "Bloodfist" franchise. I decided that perhaps the best place to start would be the beginning. I wish I hadn't.

The production values are embarrassing. I realize that this film didn't have a massive Hollywood budget, but c'mon! Some things don't need a big budget to produce quality. Experienced kickboxers, boxers or karate champions should be able to make fight scenes look realistic. In this film, they often don't even come close. This is some of the absolute worst mock fighting I have ever seen in a movie.

The sound effects were laughable. It's as if the filmmakers used a couple of guys who used to work on old Warner Brothers cartoons or something. I expected huge letters to pop up on the screen - POW! WHAM! - like in the "Batman" TV series. It was that bad!

I especially loved the scene where the two guys were fighting outside in a terrible thunderstorm. There was lots and lots of booming thunder. Funny thing is...there wasn't even one (not one!) flash of lightning. Was the budget so tight that they couldn't afford to simulate lightning? Maybe they didn't understand that lightning creates thunder. If that was the case, I wouldn't be surprised.

"Bloodfist" has awful acting, uninspired directing, terrible editing, atrocious voice dubbing and on and on and on. I sure hope that the sequels were head and shoulders above the movie that started it all. Otherwise, I shudder to think what this world is coming to.

An other martial arts movie with a twist.
Bloodfist is yes another karate movie. But Most of the cast are actual karate champs. Don " the dragon" Wilson is a six time WKA kickboxing Champ, and Billy Blanks(Tae bo) is a seven time Karate champ. True they need acting lessons but the fights are first rate.
