    Bloodsport 1988

    ★★★½ Watched by The King in the North 23 Jul 2021

    This is a pretty good tournament fighter film. The action is cool and there is plenty of it. The film is never boring and delivers what the audience wants from a film like this. With that said, it is extremely cheesy, the acting isn’t the greatest, and the cop subplot and the subplot with the girl just feel like filler to extend the runtime to feature length. The cop plot line in particular wasn’t fully explained like they’re trying to…

It manages to recapture the magic of the first film and is just as rewatchable. 

    The Bad:
    There are two problems I wanted to talk about. First, since this film takes place in the future…

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    This is a tricky film to review for me. On the one hand, when this film came out, nothing like it had ever been made. There was a mystery that surrounded it about if it was real or not. The film makers were extremely clever with how they marketed the film to make it seem as real as possible.

    One the other hand, once you’ve figured out the gimmick and that the events in this film didn’t actually happen, it’s…
