‘Lady Bloodfight’ is Pretty Much a ‘Bloodsport’ Remake

Published

on

One of my all-time favorite movies is Bloodsport, which was Jean Claude Van Damme’s breakout role that cemented him as an action star. The concept was based on a lie story told by Frank Dux, in which he claimed to be invited to a secret underground “Kumite” where he battled the greatest fighters from across the globe. Its mysterious roots mixed with interesting characters was one of the many inspirations behind “Mortal Kombat” and many other martial arts-themed genre films.

We just landed the trailer for Lady Bloodfight that is either giving a loving nod to Bloodsport or straight-up ripped it off. The plot is the exact same, even throwing “Kumite” around more than in the JCVD pic. It still looks pretty dope.

Chris Nahon’s film stars Amy Johnston, who was behind major stunts in Deadpool, Captain America, and even Suicide Squad.

According to Movie Insider, Lady Bloodfight will get a limited release on May 26 and heads to DVD on June 6.

One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).

Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”

In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”

Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.

Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”

She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
