Lady Bloodfight Trailers

Jane is a beautiful but troubled American girl backpacking through Japan, when her raw street fighting skills draw the attention of Oshima, Japanese karate champion, who recruits and trains her to fight in the vicious, all-female, underground martial arts tournament known as "The Kumite". After months of rigorous preparation, Jane is ready to face off against the deadliest female fighters in the world, including Ling, the Chinese apprentice of Oshima's nemesis. But other nefarious forces lie in the shadows, and Jane and Ling will have to unite on a journey that will take them from the gritty underworld of Hong Kong to the glitz of Macao, before deciding who really is the best female fighter on the planet.

If you are complaining about the acting, story or writing of a movie called Lady Blood fight you should not be watching a movie called LADY BLOOD FIGHT. This is not Amistad and doesn't claim to be. It's Lady Blood Fight and it delivers what it advertises: Ladies, Blood, and Fighting and it does it well.

The film opens with two women fighting in the Kumite (Ku-ma-ta) in Hong Kong to a draw. One is in black and the other in white showing off some simple Yin-Yang. The woman in black refuses to split the prize so the two fighters are to train someone for the 435th event five years later. We see various street tough girls around the world get invitations and then we see Jane (Amy Johnston) a PBR drinking waitress harassed by rude customers. Who else in the world is tougher? She leaves her waitress job and takes her skills to Hong Kong to compete. Okay, she has some formal training and an ulterior motive which we discover later as an attempt to create a plot outside of women beating each other up. After all, who wants to just watch cat fights? In Hong Kong we see the woman in black train the Hong Kong version of Harley Quinn (Muriel Hofmann). Jane, our Barbie doll, trains with the woman in white, who she once refers to as Mrs. Miyagi. Yes there are gross similarities to "The Karate Kid." The training period which makes up so many fight films showing unorthodox training techniques that figure in later on, was relatively brief .The film has some ties to real life. In the film Jane was trained by her father, Amy was trained by her father David Johnston. Amy was also a stunt double in "Suicide Squad" and is Scarlett Johansson's stunt double.Mayling Ng, martial arts fighter and bikini contestant is also in the film. There are a lot of hard bodies in locker room scenes in various stages of dress. Blood and killing.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

1. The idea of redoing Bloodsport with enough estrogen to fill a swimming pool is not as goofy as it sounds. There are entire chunks of this movie where you think, hey, this is not a bad idea. And then unfortunately there are also chunks where you are thinking, OMG what were they thinking?2. Then there is the issue of picking a star. Like everything else in life, it is not so much WHAT you know but WHO you know. Clearly the people behind the drop-dead-gorgeous Johnston packaged this project to showcase their property. Problem is, if you see the film to the bitter end, you will find that you have identified at least six other beautiful and powerful women in the film (including the two gurus) who could have done a MUCH better job as the star.3. And the script. Like everything else in the film, there are times it seems OK, and other times you hear yourself mumbling that your 9 year old nephew could have done a better job . 4. Finally, because there is enough blame to go around, the direction. Especially the lack of direction, in the fight scenes. Honestly cannot tell if this is just a director who does not know what he is doing OR -- an even scarier thought -- a director who knew he had to "work around" the limited skills of Johnston.

This was a very good film with girls fighting girls for once not boys i loved the story it was kind of like a female blood-sport for me and although Amy Johnston isn't the world best actress she's decent and beautiful to boot, good film i will be looking out for more from her I was expecting a rubbish movie here but really enjoyed this one it was not over the top at all, We really need more films like this and not crap like the kick boxer reboot ( what was the point of that movie it was awful and there doing another!! do yourself a favour watch this instead , it has a far better story with better actors cant wait to see more from Amy Johnston really, Although it doesn't have a massive budget it doesn't look cheap at all not by a long shot and the fight scenes are more old school but i like that overall this film was right up my street 10/10
