20CB @20thCB Dec 14 How could this possibly get 5 stars without Frank Dux winning 50k more rounds? See more J P 10/18/2024 whaat kind of a deal. phile See more Jason B 03/30/2024 Phobe or Phile? Gotta get this down so the boys can do it! See more Alexander B 02/20/2023 This is sadly little more then a rehashing of the first film. The fight choreography and acting is surprisingly a little better then the first film but it lacks the violence of the first film. It also has a very predictable story. See more Tony S 05/09/2022 I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that this movie owes its existence at least partially to the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. Despite being quite catchy, the Rhythm of Kumite song is borderline copyright infringement on a specific theme. The plot tries to replicate the first Bloodsport but with really pointless appendices. Like the stolen trophy sword subplot, Bernhardt was involved in. Absolutely horrible execution. That unwittingly makes the whole Kumite look silly and amateurish. I'd also assume they looked at the other JCVD classic, Kickboxer, and took Xian, crossed him with Miyagi, but gave the actor almost no direction. So James Hong just looks frail and bored. The addition of 'Iron Fist' also points to Mortal Kombat influence, since that move's presentation and explanation really feel like it came from a video game. As it finishes, the Demon in three hits like some power up. It needs to be noted that there is a noticeable absence of JCVD in the editing room. Several scenes make you wonder whether they couldn't figure out how to make it look cohesive or just that no one gave a damn. Like the sword trade in the floating cafe where the entire shoot-out looks like a parody. See more 09/05/2015 Awesome film, didn't think it would live up to the first, but it did!
