This week on the Black Belt Watch List, we step into the underground fight circuit with Bloodfight (also known as Final Fight)—a gritty martial arts classic that delivers raw emotion, fierce training montages, and full-contact action.



Martial artists fighting in a dark arena, surrounded by silhouettes. Bold text reads "Blood Fight" with action-packed image scenes.

Years after leaving the ring behind, a retired martial arts master returns to the brutal world of no-rules tournaments to avenge the death of his prized student. What follows is a journey of redemption, discipline, and devastating combat.


Two men outdoors, one in white punches a wooden board held by the other in black. Tense mood, industrial backdrop, and high-rise buildings.

The film stars the legendary Yasuaki Kurata, a real-life martial arts master and cinematic icon, alongside the unforgettable Bolo Yeung—famous for playing larger-than-life villains in Enter the Dragon (opposite Bruce Lee) and Bloodsport (as the fearsome Chong Li). For younger fans, Bolo is the original on-screen powerhouse—equal parts menace and muscle.


Two shirtless men face off in a dimly lit room, one raising the other's chin. A British flag is seen in the background. Tense atmosphere.

Packed with intense choreography, old-school martial arts spirit, and a story rooted in honor and revenge, Bloodfight is essential viewing for fight film fans.
