      Allan C Super surprised that Simon Yam (FULL CONTACT, NAKED KILLER) and Bolo Yeung (BLOODSPORT, ENTER THE DRAGON) would be in such a badly made movie. Hong Kong made plenty of cheaply made low-budget action flicks, but this one is just incompetent. The story is basically a rip-off of BLOODSPORT and even casts Bolo as the villain again, this time playing Chang Lee, the Vietnamese Snake. The film gets one star because Bolo is still pretty awesome in the few scenes he had in the flick. It's also a film that can certainly be enjoyed on a so-bad-it's-good level (some of the training sequences are laugh-out-loud bad), which may earn it up to two stars of inadvertent entertainment. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This my favor action package movie, used your skill challenge on stage one by one, frighting to death, remain who is a karate champion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member After his student gets killed in Hong Kong's World Championship Tournament, a martial arts mastercomes out of retirement to avenge his death. <i>Final Fight</i> depends too much on trying to emulate other films of it's kind (ex. <i>Bloodsport</i>, <i>Rocky IV</i>, <i>Karate Kid</i>). We have the baddie protagonist in Chang Lee (Bolo Yeung), again being the sole opponent everyone has to beat to say they're the best. Bolo Yeung looks amazing here, considerably taking command of the entire film. The acting could use with some cleaning up, but we're presented with an Asian film that doesn't use subtitles or voice-overs. I give <i>Final Fight</i> that much, at least it tries. With a bigger budget and some better choreography, <i>Final Fight</i> would have surpassed <i>Bloodsport</i>. The storyline was heartfelt, even though the dialogue was choppy and a little difficult to follow along at times. The matches had some ferocity to them, but that pesky camera seemed to zoom in on all the wrong angles. The funny thing about this film is how it mirrors <i>Rocky IV</i> on it's training sequences, completely turning into a parody of it. I can't see Bolo Yeung training in such a fashion. He belongs in a dungeon surrounded by iron maidens and dodging flying arrows thrown from various mechanisms; not all proper and fairy-like. At least the final match wasn't cheesy, having Chang Lee completely decimate his opponent and throwing some massive POV shots. Kai (Yasuaki Kurata), who is no Van Damme, handles his own in the bout, rising up and out of his beating and overcoming Lee quite triumphantly. It seems the character of Yeoung still has a weak stomach, which Kai pays special attention to here; culminating on some jumping kicks that have an air of familiarity to them. Unlike <i>Bloodsport</i>, the blows that are dealt rattle intensively; just in need of a little fine-tuning and more concentration on the other competitors. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie sucks with it's crappy training montages that go on forever. The only thing cool is the gang of punks that occasionally show up to do some half assed menacing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member definitely not BLOODSPORT! pretty lame overall. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie, every aspect of it. It was so damn messed up about what happened to...well I dont want to ruin it. Anyway someone told me it was part of the Bloodsport series, not sure though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
