Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!
I'll be the first to admit that America is not exactly a breeding ground for top quality martial arts stars and/or movies...I mean, we are the country that gave birth to Steven Segal for God's sake.However, Bloodsport is just, well, fun. It has this sort of quirky charm that can only come from the 1980s; right down to the synthpop soundtrack and Ray Jackson's torn blue jeans.I grew up with movies like this, so it's really nostalgic. I guess that doesn't count in a review, though. But, the choreography isn't half bad!Some impressive fight scenes, cheesy (albeit true) dialogue, and the charm of the '80s make this an enjoyable movie; and I don't care what anyone says!
