Synopsis

Bloodsport III brings us back to the world of Alex Cardo. This time he must battle in a fight to end all fights - The Kumite, the most vicious warrior alive - Beast. He must not only battle for his own honor, but also avenge the death of Sun, his mentor, teacher, and spiritual "father", when Sun is spitefully killed by crime boss Duvalier. In order to defeat Beast, destroy Duvalier, and avenge Sun's death, Alex turns to Leung to whom he was indebted in Bloodsport II. Leung directs him to the great shaman, Makato "the Judge", to whom Alex must turn for guidance. The judge teaches him to fully channel the energy in his mind and body in order to rout the Beast in the Kumite...

shaolinmasterkev Alex is the love child of Sean Connery and Van Damn, a casino gambling agent who fights in random Kumite tournaments and has mystical powers.Some ninjas try to rob a casino with just knives and swords, and are easily defeated by our hero Alex, bring a gun next time?Then a redhead in a blue dress sings to him at a barHe then goes on some mini Quests for experience points to level up by fighting generic ninjas for some diamonds, then fighting some crime guys in an antique shop...He then goes to various dinner parties and claims that he doesn't fight anymore (liar) even though he fought earlier...He then wanders the streets and seems to know random street hookers on a first name basis...A smoke bomb in the phone goes off and somehow knocks people over? The master is dead and I already forgot his name... Alex gets played like a deck of cards!The iron hand can heal with magic which is totally real because I can do it too!He then trains with some random master guy and flirts with his niece through various training montages while getting shot at with arrows, similar to Dodge Ball "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" except its "If you can dodge an arrow, you can dodge an effort to make a better plot"The bad guy who originally wanted him to fight now doesn't want him to fight... woahhh ! M. Night Shyamalan plot twist?More random training montages where he makes dumb noises with ropes then catches an arrow, but doesn't catch the opportunity to bang that guys daughter or whatever in the bath house. She then tells him "your like a brother to me" what kind of messed up family is this?Beats up some random guys and doesn't even bother calling the policeMore training montages with random dangerous nonsense... and hes ready to fight the Beast!With his training complete, he decides to go to an opium den? and of course fights again...Random Kumite starts in India or something...His son is terrible at chopping fire wood but alex then shares his secret fire bending powers and can start fires with his mind.In the tournament some guy uses a whip which is somehow allowed?The beast is basically like the Mountain from GOT, I feel like he needs an eye patch or a scarred face, but all we get is a mustache.In some fights, the bad guys teleport around the stage due to the editing and filming.Final fight! The BEAST! Lets face it, we all knew Alex was going to win.The ending music is so 90s its painful, Cheerful hip hop version of Mortal Kombat.And that's how Alex didn't teach his son to chop lumber properly. The end.
swedzin There isn't much to say about this film, except that slowly goes down... This is just one of those bad martial arts films... with classic story about Alex Cardo who's taking a revenge upon a rich mobster and his "monster" fighter called the Beast. Again with Daniel Bernhardt in leading role and his Van Damme face expressions. He travels on Thailand to another master to train him for next Kumite. But, this time... it IS personal! We get to see John Rhys Davies as the leading bad guy, the mobster, who is doing nothing but walking around with a large cigar in his mouth and look menacing, just like in "Cyborg Cop", James Hong and Pat Morita are there again... The fights are good, no complaints there... This is strictly for martial arts fans.
Frank Markland Daniel Bernhardt returns as Alex Cardo as he tells in flashback to his son, how his mentor James Hong was killed, how he wins the kumite against "The Beast" who is a titan and along the way discusses how he met the lad's mother. Also on how the kid's grandfather was a no good scumbag, in other words it is Bloodsport for a younger generation. Bloodsport II wasn't exactly great (In fact far from good) but when compared to this boring dud of a sequel, it almost feels as if you can sense how bored the movie is with itself. The fight sequences this time are terribly staged, with martial artistry so sloppy, you'd swear you walked in on a drunken fight. The movie starts off reasonably well enough but once the training montage begins, you'll be so bored that your only excitement in the fight sequences, will be getting closer to the ending. The movie is just so lame. Also the singing in which Amber van Lynt does, is quite positively more damaging to the human body, then any harm "The Beast" inflicts. (I'm not sure if i'm the first to bring that up, but how nobody remembers such awful singing is mind boggling.) * out of 4-(Bad)
sveknu Daniel Bernhard returns in this 3rd installment in the series. I suspect that this movie were made in a big rush, since it's worse than "Bloodsport 2" in many ways. First of all, the story is a little bit too standard. But that is of course not the most important. The fighting in this movie isn't that good, and it's just too much of the same styles. The Kumite in this movie has to be the worst Kumite ever arranged. One detail that particularly draw my attention, was one of the fighters sitting on the bench ringside and waiting to fight. On the bench, he didn't have any hair on his chest at all. But when he was fighting, he suddenly had lots of hair. Things like this confirms that this is a C-movie, and probably really low-budget. What where they thinking?
