Excellent Bloodsport parody
Nen_Master35730 March 2023
This is a virtually unknown indie comedy gem which spoofs 1988's classic martial arts masterpiece Bloodsport. It's an insanely hilarious film with lots of wickedly funny gags and jokes. I was literally guffawing the entire time I was watching this (during office downtime on my cellphone). The movie hearkens back to the style of parody films such as Hotshots Part Deux and the Scary Movie franchise (though the dildo scenes are more similar to something like Deathgasm). It's the best spoof of JCVD's iconic film; the other is the Filipino movie Smith and Wesson, which also is definitely worth checking out (technically though, the latter parodies Miami Vice in the first half of the film while it spoofs Bloodsport in the second half with Steven Spielberg's Jaws also referenced in between).

The guy playing "Jean Claude Sanchez" is a skilled master of humor and he deserves to be in the league of dudes like Mike Myers or Jack Black. The one flaw of the film though is in the final fight sequence which wasn't shot very well. You could clearly see that was a double fighting, because he has lighter skin and hair color than the protagonist.

Overall though, the film is an excellent comedy flick for mature viewers and quiet similar to a movie like Kung Pao. It deserves an Oscar or a Canne for krissakes.
