Plot: The battle for the coveted Kumite sword contines in this third installment of the popular mano-a-mano combat series.
DOUBLE YAWN! Less fighting means less of what I think this series want to see as Daniel Bernhardt is forced to compete in another kumite competition.
In the time between Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings, John Rhys-Davies did horrendous crap like this. You should be kissing Peter Jackson's ass dude.
You should watch Bloodsport III if you have enjoyed the first two, but know that it is inferior to those movies.
First of all, the narration style is the same as in the second one. This is not bad, but it doesn't bring anything new to the franchise. Secondly, the Vince Vaughn-lookalike main villain's name is "The Beast"...OK, the name of the bad guy in B2 was "Demon", so does every bad guy now have to have a weird name? Also, he really doesn't look threatening. Finally, all the other Kumite fighters sucked. Some of them had funny names, but they were all super annoying (except for Lima Lama).
Now for the good. The movie was a shot in Sri Lanka, which makes for an interesting change of locale. A lot of the team behind B2 is back for this one, and it's nice to see actors like Pat Morita and James Hong don't mind coming back for just one scene. It's also nice to see actors like John-Rhys Davies, who played Sallah in Indiana Jones, and Gimli in Lord Of The Rings, will also act in movies like Bloodsport. Also, and importantly, though handled somewhat awkwardly, the underlying storyline in B3 is the deepest and most meaningful in the franchise.
So, while inferior to it's predecessors, Bloodsport III is a movie for which one should not have high expectations, and with Daniel Bernhardt in the lead, it delivers it's promise.
This is honestly and truly the WORST film EVER made (with the possible exception of the fourth instalment, which I didn't know existed until recently). If you have a fascination with truly bad films give this Z grade flick a try, and it might just become your personal worst film ever made too. It starts off ok as a laugh at how ridiculous it all is but even that wears off pretty quickly. I haven't seen any of the other Bloodsport films, but even fans of the first 2 seem to be mostly mystified by how such a steaming pile of crap was created.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Bloodsport III" !
