Inspired by Oliver Harpers upcoming documentary*. I marathon-ed this** , usually not a big fan of this type of movie but went in with a open mind although not high hopes. I was surprised it was pretty fun and good.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizOfUjQihA** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodsport_(film)

>the main character is brought to a underground martial artist tournament pitting the best fighters from all over the world for a prize, usually to the deathHow many movie's is this the plot of? Enter the Dragon started it but there's plenty of other's that just reuse the plot like Bloodsport, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, Tekken, Balls of Fury (Parody), what else is there?

>>220189675Half of every shonen anime ever seems to have a tournament arc, even if it’s not necessarily the same. OP it’s glad to hear you mention Oliver Harper his reviews are kino but it’s interesting because I was under the impression that he thought Bloodsport was a good movie but not one of the ones he based his channel around.

This movie was called "Bloodsport 2" in my country (translators had this weird thing of making up sequels with almost completely unrelated movies back then). You can imagine how confusing that was.

>>220189675Not quite what you’re asking for but Man of Tai Chi. It’s less of a tournament and more of a shady underground league using traditional martial arts fighters.
>>220189942>>220190356You hold, your cards, and they push, they push the buttons on us.You can - live fast, or you can live it slow.There′s no guarantees, you've gotta gamble, just like me.And ain′t it strange.You wanna look, but you don't watch, I won't be where I don′t want to be.I hear a gunshot! I fall down, and maybe you don′t want to be caught.Oh Ain't it strange, when the morning comes,we′ll see the light, and when the night returns, we'll steal the night.See the golden dawn, and steal the night.You′ll be where you belong, you'll steal the night.

>>220189236Is this fucking faggot going to peddle the lie that the Kumite wasn't real?
I rewatched it recently, Haven't seen it since about 1989.It's crap but i like it regardless. Probably because of the soundtrack and its complete lack of shame and its setting.
