Bloodfist
''Bloodfist'' is a 1989 American martial arts film directed by Terence H. Winkless, starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson (in his first feature starring role), Rob Kaman, Billy Blanks and Cris Aguilar. The plot sees an American former kickboxer travel to Manila, where he re-enters competition to avenge the murder of his brother and fellow fighter. The film takes the template established by previous tournament fighting films, especially the recent ''Bloodsport'', and adds a whodunnit element to it. While negatively received, it generated record profits for Concorde Pictures, and kickstarted a long running franchise of increasingly unrelated sequels and spinoffs. To bolster its credibility, ''Bloodfist'' listed the real-life martial arts credentials of its stars, not only on the poster but in the credits as well, a gimmick that carried over to other Concorde films and was copied by some competitors. Plot A man gets beaten by his opponent, but after he finds out the fight was rigged, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
