jonathanruano While watching Bloodsport 4, I ended up asking myself multiple times, "Why was this film made?" To this day, I am not sure why. But if I had to guess how Bloodsport 4 got into production, my theory would be that the screenplay writer, suffering from innovation fatigue, stole the script from a third grade student who, in turn, ripped off the formula from the movie "Death Warrant" with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Then the producers, forgetting that the martial arts genre was no longer popular, wrote a cheque worth millions of dollars after three seconds of considered thought. The next step was to hire some really bad actors (either that or they were so embarrassed reading the lines that they ended up sounding like seven year olds pretending to be very serious) and then conceal this fact by tacking on the normally charismatic Daniel Bernhardt as the protagonist Keller. The only problem is that Bernhardt looks as lost in this movie as all of the other actors. Plus the action sequences are that special either. It takes the suspense out of a movie when the bad guy touches Keller's shoulder to indicate to him that now is the time to try out some of those martial arts moves. Then as the movie started entering into its second leg, a strange thing happened: I actually started to miss the sound of Jean-Claude Van Damme's tough guy accent from Death Warrant, which was easily more entertaining than anything in this picture.

DemijanOmeragic * Minor Spoilers Below *This movie is hilarious. 95% of the cast is Russian, although it's supposed to be taking place in America. The villain is a guy who calls himself Caesar, lives in a big mansion, and has about 30 female slaves. His sidekick is the prison warden who screams like a maniac if a fighter doesn't kill the other guy.What's interesting is that in Bloodsport 2 and 3 the main character is "Alex Cardo" played by Daniel Bernhardt, and in this one Daniel Bernhardt plays a guy named John Keller, nothing to do with the previous 2 films. What the heck? Let me sum up the plot. John Keller infiltrates a prison where prisoners keep mysteriously disappearing. His job is to find out what's going on. There he meets psychopath Justin Caesar (Ivan Ivanov) and the sadistic warden Preston (Derek McGrath).I would really like to know how this guy got to direct this film. I love this movie so much because I laugh a lot when I watch it. It is truly an unintentional comedy, and I have already recommended it to friends. The best part is two people singing at this kumite and dancing around for a couple of minutes before the fighting begins. Another great thing is the way Caesar talks. This guy is extremely slow, and his voice is sometimes not in sync with his mouth-movements.On an entertainment level, this gets a 7. On a quality level, this get's a -5.

odinsreturn Wow. How did this get made? What rich boy had enough of his own money to make a movie? I love the script and plot. Oh, dont forget the dry fight choro. This movie is made of 35mm stock and human feces. The strange part is, every time its on i have to watch it. Its kinda like a bad car accident; You dont want to look but you just have to keep peeking up. I like the recycled gun shoot out shots too. This is a great movie to get a bunch of friends to see with you, so you can just run it into the ground.

Stephen Tobey This was not your typical martial arts, underground fight-to-the-death film. The movie seemed to take place in a very strange world, one that bears very little resemblance to reality. Visually, it's very stimulating, but at times it's hard to figure out what's really going on and what's a dream sequence. It was also what time period the film was shot in (Many characters wear clothes from different periods, including the villain, who looks an awful lot like Ben Franklin), though I presume it's the present.Also, the film supposedly takes place in America, yet the buildings look an awful lot like Europe or some strange fantasy world.
