Too much of everything
Janae Milner
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Asad Almond
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

BLOODMATCH is a particularly stupid kickboxing movie made when the craze for the sport was in full swing. It was directed by B-movie specialist Albert Pyun, never known for the quality of his movies, and as the hero (or perhaps that should be anti-hero) it stars Thom Mathews, best known for his comedic turn in the classic RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and its sequel. Mathews had a small career in action flicks in the 1990s but never really amounted to much and never recaptured that lovable quality he had in ROTLD. Here, he plays a guy seeking revenge for his brother's death, so he kidnaps a bunch of kickboxers, one of whom is the villain responsible. He then fights them in the ring. There's no more plot to it than that, and to say that this film is rough around the edges is an understatement. Worst of all, the action choreography is fairly poor, and the talents of the masterful Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez (who had made such an impact in Hong Kong cinema) are wasted.

Honestly the plot made me hoping for a Lionheart type of movie, but more we get into it, we find the story is not that much present and you kind of don't feel for the characters as you should do...Fights themselves varies between good and boring. The "Brick vs Mike" is boring but Brick vs Billy was definitely nice. Others where so-so...Basically i had to go with buying this on VHS on ebay, in English(french speaker here) and it felt like if i had knew maybe i wouldn't had pay that much for an old VHS. At least i got it for 13$ bucks, which is less than some seller trying to sell this at 25$....Anyway disappointed cause i was expecting better, but its not that bad, there some entertaining fights. Im the kind of guy that try to get all martial arts movie so im a big fan of the style, so well... i loved bloodfist 2050 when it got a 1.9 here, so thecnically if i find this movie so so, its not that good.ps: whats the point of having a playmate as one of the character and not having her naked in it... ahem... thats weird. This could have get this movie a little bit more fun

Thom Mathews stars as Brick Bardo, a PO'd kickboxer looking to avenge the murder of his brother and deal out vengeance to the four fighters responsible, however he doesn't know who is the one at fault so he decides to kill them all anyway. Of course along the way lots of martial arts action ensues. Bloodmatch if anything else ranks as one of the cheapest movies made in the 1990's. Bloodmatch has four instances where it takes place outside of the fight arena. (Which itself looks as if it was slapped together one night, when Pyun realized he had an extra week to use the arena from Kickboxer 2, which it resembles) There is some good fight sequences but generally there is no interest in the characters and the acting is pretty bad. Thom Mathews gives an outrageously terrible performance but still acts circles around what has to be the worst actors i've seen since high school. Also the movie peaks early with a cool chase and torture sequence which is cool but then fades into the clichéd plot involving his brother. Also of note is that our hero kickboxer kidnaps little kids in order to force their parent to fight. That is a novelty. Also there is a twist ending which makes no sense what so ever and forced me to subtract a point from it's rating out of 10.* * out of 4-(Fair)

With Benny "The Jet" Urquidez filming the fight scenes and playing a part in the movie, I expected more. I've seen him do some great things in other films, but this one left me wondering. It's a revenge film filled with great martial artists, but it sure didn't turn out to be a great film. Very few of the actors/actresses could actually act and the fighting left a lot to be desired. There were a few good fight scenes, but overall this strange, low-budget effort fell short. See it only if you can't sleep. Rating 5/10
