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.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I have seen many movie about deadly martial arts tournament before but Lady Bloodfight is the first one with only female participation but not oversexualized the female body like 2006 DOA and you can clearly see the fight scene cause each actor really put themselves out there and give us a bloody fun time.A welcome return of director Chris Nahon after 7 years and the new badass action star Amy Johnston
Fair acting considering a clumsy and predictable script. The fight choreography is this film's saving grace. A very predictable script that seems to follow "Blood Sport" a little too close. Cheesy ending. But worth a rainy afternoon watch just for the martial arts and the beautiful women performing aerobatic stunts.
"Lady Bloodfight" is a throw-back to Jean Claude-Van Damme's "Bloodsport," where he played a former world Kumite champion. Although that particular movie was as trite and predictable as they come, this one was not all that special, either.The plot is something like this: a woman wanting to find her father, who supposedly was to fight in the championship of the Kumite, goes to Hong Kong, is immediately jumped and stomped by some thugs (although she seemed to handle herself against the five American bullies before), is then saved by a "good" girl, who wants her to train to represent her in the upcoming Kumite. Lord, I'm tired already. What then takes place is some real bad martial arts skills. The movie contains violence and a little language. It is not the worst movie I've seen, but I could not recommend it, either. Toss up.
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.
