Am I Missing Something?

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Swiss martial arts dude Daniel Bernhardt stands in again for Van Damme in this second sequel to "Bloodsport". Alex Cardo has retired from martial arts after winning the Kumite in the last flick, but rich heavy Jonathan Rhys-Davies wants him to compete in a new Kumite he's putting on. When our hero refuses, Davies kills his former teacher James Hong (who wisely appears to have agreed to be in this movie for less than 5 minutes). Cardo seeks out Pat Morita (also in this flick for mere minutes), who hooks Cardo up with his brother, who trains him, even though it is repeatedly stated that Cardo is the best martial artist in the world. He returns to take revenge on Davies by entering the Kumite ... which is actually what Davies wanted him to do in the first place. I confess to being confused at this point. Cardo "gets revenge" by winning the competition, which is what Davies wanted ... but now he doesn't???

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

at first,it looked like this movie was going down the crapper and quickly.somehow, though,it turns out not too bad.unlike,number two,which isn't really a sequel,this one is.the main character returns,and learns more lessons.i liked the training montages.to me,they were better than the ones in the second film.at times,i could swear it was Van Damme on screen.Daniel Bernhardt really looks like at times.the plot is quite ridiculous,but the action is better,i think.the fight scenes are better at times. the ending could have been a bit better,as the climax seemed to short.however,overall,this movie is no better or worse than the previous entry, and it's not a complete waste of time.in fact,it's quite entertaining.so i'll give it a 6/10

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 **********.
