Why so much hype?

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The last one (in this case... a low budget franchise) is always bad. Everything is so hollow... even fights! Acting, script... nothing. Daniel looks more like a mannequin fashion model with bad haircut... Fights are so bad... they are hitting the air! Lisa Stothard, Daniel's real life wife... here as a partner and girlfriend... my... she is bad too, I guess they found each other here... I admire Stefanos Miltsakakis, a real BJJ fighter and champion, I expected even more from him, than just bad accented bad guy! The story is supposed to be in LA, but locations look more European... And I was right! It was somewhere in Bulgaria! Not your typical all day replacement for USA. This film is not recommended, only if you have nothing better to do or to watch...

OK, first off, I didn't understand this kumite business. What is it? Is it like a flavour of ice cream? People kept saying it, but I just didn't get it. Also, where were the ninjas? When I think action I expect ninjas, and this film disappoints. Finally, how the heck do they explain the guy in the clown suit?

the plot sucked..... it was so simple and rediculous, that who ever wrote it must have stolen it from 3rd grader... i've seen better acting a k-mart commercial.. the fighting scenes were ok....and i stress the word OK because you could easily tell that no contact was made on any kick or punch... i can't believe anyone could have gotten funding for this film. its watching garbage like this that makes me believe i could take a dump, slap the words bloodsport 5 on in and get a budget for another sequel starring Daniel Bernhardt with yet another name and stefanos blah blah whatever as Stavros for the 1000th time.... If you decide to watch this piece of trash, i feel sorry for you, please don't waste 90 minutes of your life like i did.

Bloodsport part one, two, and three were okay... so then I rented this one hoping that it would have good action. It doesn't. As a matter of fact, this movie is one of the dumbest. I can't believe people actually made one this dense... how could they ?
