Blood Fight (1989)

Blu-ray MVD Visual 2020

Bloodfight is one of those easy to dismissed movies. On the surface, it looks like Bloodsport ripoff. It has more of a plot and far more character development than Van Damme's movie. My only issue is that the dialogue is in English, which would be great if that were everyone's primary language, but it's not. The performances can be clunky because of it, but Simon Yam is a great actor. The others aren't Shakespearian level performers, but they're experienced enough character actors to get the point across. Bloodfight is a very good movie from the era of VHS weekend rentals. It's a gem. I bought the film on tape, DVD and now on Blu-ray. I like this movie a lot, and it's a very nostalgic watch that triggers some great memories.

Unfortunately, it's not the most exceptional HD transfer I've ever seen, but it's the best the movie has ever looked on home video. It probably doesn't help that I have my Gamera 4K remaster set from Arrow Video on the brain. Anyway, I'm happy this is in my collection.

At 90 minutes the film is a bit of a slog and I could see it being slightly more successful as a short film but for those demented enough to seek out a lo-fi indie feature about a clown hunt that's chock full o' quips like "Why don't you eat clown meat?", "It tastes funny" there's some definite silliness to be had, like clown meat it's probably an acquired taste.
