I will not fight! (he fights) Kill him! I will not kill him!
This is the complex dialog straight from the Bloodsport 4. And surprisingly, this is one of the less stupid bits of dialog in the movie. Bearing in mind that the story within Bloodsport is really just to build up to the final fight, I couldn't wait for that fight to start - this was virtually unwatchable. Maybe that is why I missed the point of Justin Caesar (apart from an implication of evil wealthy guy, and a chance for everyone to say "Heil Caesar". It's a shame noone told Ivan Ivanov that his voice sounded so fake...
Once again, Bloodsport producers have moved away from martial artists to using (very ripped) actors for the finale (except for the wrestler who looked like he should have been playing an accountant). Perhaps that is fine in a mainstream movie, but for a movie that is probably only watched by people interested in the genre, this is a pretty major failing. One of the fighters even won by punching a competitor in the forehead (because what could go wrong about punching bone...), in a tournament, the hero fights in a knee length waist coat (because no-one has ever tried to grab someones clothing during kumite)
On the bright side, compared to most movies, people with pistols in this movie are all awesome marksmen - not like the normal B-grade movies where people with machine guns can't hit anything.
I seriously wonder if JCVD ever watched the sequels to his original Bloodsport movie, and what he thought.
