Kiss Of The Dragon helmer Chris Nahon’s latest action adventure, Lady Bloodfight, took quite the time from its elongated development as a loose female-centric sequel to the 1989 hit, Bloodsport, to a movie all its own. Such the shape it has taken now lends Hollywood stuntwoman and actress Amy Johnston her first major stab at a lead role with a bevy of female screenfighting talents showcasing stylish action sequences by Hung Yan Yan (Coweb [U.S. title: Ninja Masters]).
Jane is a beautiful but troubled American girl backpacking her way through Hong Kong. When she successfully fends off three thugs trying to rob her, she draws the attention of Shu, a Wudang champion, who is impressed by her raw street fighting abilities. Shu recruits Jane 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 apprentice of Shu’s nemesis, Wai, a Shaolin master. Other nefarious forces also lie in the shadows, taking Jane on a journey through the gritty underworld of Hong Kong as she fights to be named the best female fighter in the world.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.
