An action-packed slog

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Alex is the love child of Sean Connery and Van Damn, a casino gambling agent who fights in random Kumite tournaments and has mystical powers.Some ninjas try to rob a casino with just knives and swords, and are easily defeated by our hero Alex, bring a gun next time?Then a redhead in a blue dress sings to him at a barHe then goes on some mini Quests for experience points to level up by fighting generic ninjas for some diamonds, then fighting some crime guys in an antique shop...He then goes to various dinner parties and claims that he doesn't fight anymore (liar) even though he fought earlier...He then wanders the streets and seems to know random street hookers on a first name basis...A smoke bomb in the phone goes off and somehow knocks people over?
The master is dead and I already forgot his name... Alex gets played like a deck of cards!The iron hand can heal with magic which is totally real because I can do it too!He then trains with some random master guy and flirts with his niece through various training montages while getting shot at with arrows, similar to Dodge Ball "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" except its "If you can dodge an arrow, you can dodge an effort to make a better plot"The bad guy who originally wanted him to fight now doesn't want him to fight... woahhh ! M. Night Shyamalan plot twist?More random training montages where he makes dumb noises with ropes then catches an arrow, but doesn't catch the opportunity to bang that guys daughter or whatever in the bath house. She then tells him "your like a brother to me" what kind of messed up family is this?Beats up some random guys and doesn't even bother calling the policeMore training montages with random dangerous nonsense... and hes ready to fight the Beast!With his training complete, he decides to go to an opium den? and of course fights again...Random Kumite starts in India or something...His son is terrible at chopping fire wood but alex then shares his secret fire bending powers and can start fires with his mind.In the tournament some guy uses a whip which is somehow allowed?The beast is basically like the Mountain from GOT, I feel like he needs an eye patch or a scarred face, but all we get is a mustache.In some fights, the bad guys teleport around the stage due to the editing and filming.Final fight! The BEAST! Lets face it, we all knew Alex was going to win.The ending music is so 90s its painful, Cheerful hip hop version of Mortal Kombat.And that's how Alex didn't teach his son to chop lumber properly. The end.

Just finished watching the movie, yesterday I have seen part II. It's not as good as part 2, and well, they shoudn't have named it part III. I mean, the events concerning master Sun, are not possible since Master Sun was telling the students about the last kumite as an old man, so he was still alive. But then again Highlander 2,3 and 5 are also horrible, whilst parts 1 and 4 are very nice, and the increasing number behind American Ninja/kickboxer is also, let's say not an increase of quality.I have the tendency to watch lets say, the lesser pearls of the movie world in the weekend. And if you expect a B film, this is rather OK. It's 90 minutes of not-too-bad acting and nice fighting scenes. Obviously the continuity is very very poor (JJ and the bandage of the long haired fighter) and the biggest mistake??? location... 'several years after winning the kumite, I was living in the far east'....WHY SAY THAT??? the film was shot in Sri Lanka, all the people are 'indian', why say that it's in the far east?... Eventually this film is OK, I enjoyed watching it... If you want to see it, don't expect anything fancy, just real B material, and you can have a nice 1.5 hr.cheers

When I first saw bloodsport 2 I was so impressed. Bloodsport 2 had everything. Lots of fighters,a ruthless villain{Demon} and the character of Alex Cardo was cool. The story was good. A man sent to prison and makes friends with a man who becomes a mentor to him. And the man teaches him the Iron hand and Alex in return fights in the Kumite to win his friends freedom and to honor him for making Alex a changed man.Then we come to Bloodsport 3. I was expecting another good movie. Instead I was let down. Don't get me wrong. The only good part about this movie is the fight scenes. Thats it.This movie didn't have many fight scenes. Or for that matter many fighters. And the main villain/fighter the beast,is no where as awesome and ruthless as the Demon from the second film. He seemed slow and tired at times and it looked liked they had to stop the fights just so the guy could regain his breath.Not to mention the storyline. What was the point of Alex having to go re learn martial arts if he already knew how to fight. All he would have to have done is use the iron hand on the beast and win the damn thing.And the fighters in this movie wern't as good. They seemed skinny as hell and arrogant.This movie shouldn't have been made. Or it needed another storyline. A better storyline. Stick with the first 2 films. Don't waste your time on this movie. It will disappoint you start to finish.

when i watched the first two bloodsport films i thought that they were pretty good (especially the first film). and then when they made a third one i immedietly rented it at the local movie store and was dissapointed in how stupid this film was. the action seens werent too bad, but the storyline was completely messed... if you ask me, there was no point in making this film. I rank it a *** out of **********.
