Having undergone a quiet post-production period with little publicity thus far, director Chris Nahon’s latest film has officially kicked off with an international turn for its release. For this, we turn to Lady Bloodfight, centric on female martial arts stunt and screenfighting talent all around with Hollywood stuntwoman-turned-actress Amy Johnston front and center.
SYNOPSIS:
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, it 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.
The film, written and in-part produced by Bey Logan, has officially released in Cambodian cinemas with further info pending on other territories. In the meantime, the first official trailer has begun circulating online showcasing Johnston in her feature film leading debut, and much to the delight of fans who’ve grown fond of her most prolific stunt-loaded viral video from more than four years ago, marking an otherwise exciting new beginning in martial arts action fandom.
Also starring are actresses Jenny Wu, Muriel Hofman, Kathy Wu, Sharon Zhang, Jet Tranter and Mayling Ng. Check out the trailer now!

I have been looking forward to this movie for a looong time. ��
I couldn't be happier that it looks like we will be able to see it soon. I just hope they don't pull any geolocation bullshit and let me stream it legally here's in Peru. I really want to support this movie.
