"Blood Fight" is an unexpectedly serious action flick that has some good, at times artistic camera work. Unlike most Chinese martial arts films, this one does not have the awful English overdubs that make these films so bad. The Chinese actors are actually speaking English, albeit with heavy accents, and it lends an extra level of quality to the production. The story is good, if not very original. A martial arts master becomes emotionally destroyed when his young protégé loses his life to a brutal opponent in the ring. Kung Fu cult icon, Bolo Yeung is his usual demonic self as the fighter who takes the kid's life. Basically a revenge flick, but with some decent character development and higher production values. Featuring some great shots of Hong Kong, both in daylight, and the neon-saturated nights. The fight technique is mainly kick-boxing, and at times things get quite bloody. Worth a look, especially for fans of Yeung Bolo.

Stylish 80's revenge movie
Not that bad.
I saw this movie in my local Book Off store here in NYC. It had Bolo Yeung on the cover of the DVD and being a huge fan of Bolo, I was immediately intrigued and I purchased it.
Overall, it's rough with the language because it's in Asian so I had to watch it on English subtitles. Starts off a little slow but if you hang in there, you'll get rewarded with a great fight scene between the main hero of the film and the main villain which is Bolo. Not a bad action film.
