Alex Danko descends into the ultra-violent underworld of extreme martial-arts to find his brother's killer with the help of hardened Detective Ramirez and his brother's alluring ex-lover in this post-apocalyptic allegory of greed and revenge set in in 2050 Los Angeles.
i'm not gonna lie.... in BLOODFIST 2050's first 10 minutes i thought it might be the best movie ever made. It starts with a mad max style car chase through a desert and immediately cuts to the glorious future LA where it appears the late 90s is the hot fashion trend and everyone is all about shitty martial arts arena fighting. after the glorious opening, the movie shows it's true colors as a piece of shit. the action is dull, there's soft core porn moments and the whole thing becomes total torture to watch. i think i was just excited by that beautiful poster art and the empty promise a movie with a title like BLOODFIST 2050. one star for the first ten minutes.

Remakes have become a dime a dozen as of late. Hollywood has been remaking classics for years and some are as good as their predecessors, but a majority of them tend to be lesser received than their originals. While there have been remakes in the horror genre over the years as well as attempts at comedy, one such genre that has had its share of remakes is the martial arts film genre. In the case of the legendary Roger Corman, one such film has received remakes and versions over the course of just a year or two for some of its installments.
The film in question Bloodfist, a tournament film about a man who learns martial arts to compete in a tournament to find out who killed his brother. This feature takes a look at the original film plus its four remakes, three released from 1993-1994 with its final remake released in 2005 as an attempt to launch new martial arts action stars.
The second remake would be a gender reversal version of the original, entitled Angelfist. The film would star Catya Sassoon, an actress who learned martial arts and had a chance to fight Don Wilson in Bloodfist IV: Die Trying and Bloodfist VI: Ground Zero, the latter released after this film. Sassoon was the daughter of famed hairstylist Vidal Sassoon.

Their style's growing popularity prompted the Discovery Channel to produce a documentary called XMA: Extreme Martial Arts. In this documentary, the producers covered the XMA style with modern technology such as motion-capture technology and 3-D imaging to show how a martial artist can use his body. As a side story, they focused on Matt Mullins' attempt to come back to the competition world of sport karate.[3] Matt also holds seminars and martial arts camps. The most predominant ones are the Winter and Summer Camps at Sharkey's Karate in Illinois. He also teaches an extreme martial arts class in California.

Kickboxing is essentially a mixture of Muay Thai, Karate and Western Boxing, with influences from other types of martial arts. Types of Kickboxing have been around for many hundreds of years, but the more recognised modern form of Kickboxing is a relatively new martial art with the mixing of various martial arts to combine kicks and punches into a new system/sport.
It must be noted that due to the large variation of martial arts that can be mixed and used in various Kickboxing clubs, there maybe a noticeable difference in training styles and rules from one to the other, with some concentrating on self defence, some on the sporting side and others purely for physical fitness.
In a brutal future Los Angeles, where the streets run red with the blood of fallen fighters, street fighter Alex Danko (five time world martial arts champion Matt Mullins) searches desperately to find his brother's killer. To find the truth, Alex must enter the vicious world of "the pit," an arena where extreme, and often lethal, martial arts are a way of life.
Although produced by Concorde-New Horizons (who produced every previous Bloodfist film), this is the first entry to not star series lead Don Wilson. However, it does continue the tradition of casting a real life martial arts champion in the lead. 59ce067264
