This kung fu flick is basically a rip-off of the Jean-Claude Van Damme BLOODSPORT movie with a similar tournament situation going on and even the same world's greatest kung-fu-villian Mr. Bolo Yeung playing a character named Chang Lee as opposed to his totally different BLOODSPORT character of Chong Li and Bolo as always is awesome in everything he appears in! You also really get a STREETFIGHTER-video game feel with some of the other fighters here including a large Sumo-wrestler, a giant Indian man, a mad monkey kung-fu fighter, a wrestler who looks like Mr. Clean and a few other interesting characters. There's also an awesome Asian punk gang complete with mohawks and multi-colored-dyed hair led by a swarmy white guy that drive around in a Jeep that says "FUCK YOU" across the back. They kick some ass and definitely add to the excitement whenever they show up. I first encountered this fine film playing on the Spanish station and it's such a straight-forward film that you really don't even need to understand what's being said to appreciate the bloody-fighting goodness.
There were at least 3 sequels to this and I really hope that gang shows up in those also. It's doubtful though since BLOODFIGHT 2 is actually a movie from 1988 so I'm assuming they probably have nothing to do with this besides just a retitling. AKA FINAL FIGHT
