I was surprised to realize i didn't made a review for this movie yet. I saw it a couple years ago, when i was in the pinnacle of my martial art movies buzz, and i remember even back then i was disappointed by it compared to the 3 other Bloodsports.First of all, i love both the first and second one equally, despite the second one not having Van Damme, i think Daniel is just as good if not better when it comes to fighting scenes. Third one was a little step down but i liked it a lot too.With this forth one, i don't know what they where trying to do really. I know some franchise use the same actor in different sequels with different characters, like Don Wilson's Bloodfist, but in this movie something really felt off about it. I really like Alex Cardo as a character but it was obvious his story was done, but they wanted Daniel for another movie, the problem is, they should had called it something else. Probably to make money because of the bloodsport name, they decided to call it "Bloodsport The Dark Kumite". Honestly the main character is far less interesting than Alex Cardo, the set-up although already done previously is not that bad, but its just something feel off about the whole thing.Fight scenes are OK, but way under the ones in the previous movies, and the budget look very small, the acting is not convincing. Well what can i say, its really not as fun as the previous Bloodsports despise not being a total turd as some people call it.I think it would had work a bit better with another title but oh well...

One thing I can't understand about a number of low budget B movies made in the last 15 years or so is why their makers seem to think they can pass various locations in Bulgaria off as American locations. I can tell them right now that except maybe movies taking place in the wilderness, this deception DOES NOT WORK. Including this location - it's painfully clear that this American-set movie was shot in Bulgaria in every scene, with its eastern architecture and costumes. Still, I might have forgiven this movie for that if it delivered the goods, but it doesn't. The movie botches the scenes where you think there would be some good gratuitous nudity, and the fights (less fights than you'd think, by the way) aren't very exciting, running very short and not having very spectacular choreography. The movie also runs very slowly, with nothing but some extremely bad acting to amuse the audience along the way. The series came to an end at this point, not a moment too soon.

the plot sucked..... it was so simple and rediculous, that who ever wrote it must have stolen it from 3rd grader... i've seen better acting a k-mart commercial.. the fighting scenes were ok....and i stress the word OK because you could easily tell that no contact was made on any kick or punch... i can't believe anyone could have gotten funding for this film. its watching garbage like this that makes me believe i could take a dump, slap the words bloodsport 5 on in and get a budget for another sequel starring Daniel Bernhardt with yet another name and stefanos blah blah whatever as Stavros for the 1000th time.... If you decide to watch this piece of trash, i feel sorry for you, please don't waste 90 minutes of your life like i did.

When I saw bloodsport I liked it very much, when I saw Bloodsport 2 I didn't like it much, when I saw bloodsport 3 I was depressed. I hoped there wasn't be a bloodsport 4 because it would be worser than 3. But I was wrong. This movie is the best movie of Daniel Berhardt. The fights were great, the story was ok, the acting was good enough. There were a few things bad in this movie:The Kumite wasn't a Japanese fighting tournament - The kumite was too short - The music wasn't greatBloodsport is still the best but if you want to see another great martial arts movie I recommend this movie. Rating 7.5/10
