Story: Karate champion Rivers (Mathis Landwehr) retires to avoid permanent injuries
Scenario
One last kumite, one last fight – for his daughter’s life. David Yeung is the son of Bolo Yeung, who played the antagonist Chong Li in Bloodsport (1988), which was the main inspiration for The Last Kumite (2024).
To save her, Michael must enter the tournament
Shortly thereafter, shady businessman Hall (Hues) offers him a huge prize for participating in a deadly kumite tournament. Michael refuses, but his daughter Bree (Kira Kortenbach) is kidnapped.
The other actors were sloppy and sluggish
The film is as shallow and superficial as the story, with nonsensical dialogue. The fight scenes are poorly choreographed, although Mike Möller’s fights were a highlight.
This is not a B-movie
A D-movie. D for horrible/shameful mess.
I’m only giving it 2 stars because of Mike Möller and Michel Qissi
Next time Clarkson should bring Til Schweiger and throw in Steven Seagal to complete the disaster!
