Lady Bloodfight

Two martial arts masters participating in a tournament in Hong Kong fight to a draw. This was supposed to be the way to settle a dispute between them. But instead, they are forced to agree to return in 5 years to the tournament. They are to bring a proxy, with them as teacher, to settle the dispute. There is lots of anger and resentment. Flash forward 5 years, an American martial artist travels to Hong Kong in search of her lost father (who happened to fight in the tournament 20 years earlier). She "happens upon" one of the masters, becomes the student and enters the fray. Tournament begins, etc. etc. etc. ... and they lived happily ever after. Mediocre story, mediocre action (did not showcase the variety of martial arts styles that were on display), mediocre movie.
2 stars (out of 5)
