Lady Bloodfight is a 2016 martial arts film directed by Chris Nahon and starring stuntwoman Amy Johnston as an American fighter who travels to Hong Kong to participate in an all-woman Kumite.[1] It is the fifth installment in the Bloodsport film series, and is a standalone sequel to the previous movies.
One review noted that the director "keeps the action suitably fast and furious, even if he overly panders to male viewers" by focusing on the often scantily-clad actresses.[1]
Plot
[edit]When Jane, a beautiful but troubled American backpacking her way through Hong Kong, successfully fends off three thugs trying to rob her, it draws the attention of Shu, a female fighting champion. Shu recruits and trains Jane to fight in the vicious, all-female underground martial arts tournament known as The Kumite. After months of rigorous training, Jane is ready to face off against her killer rivals, including the apprentice of Shu’s nemesis, a Shaolin master. As other nefarious forces emerge from the shadows, Jane’s journey through The Kumite turns deadly as she risks everything to become the best female fighter in the world.
