I got a crazy Bloodfist releated story for ya. Over a decade ago I was contacted by the director Terence H. Winkless to help him with a link to a trailer for Rage and Honor. And after helping him with that, we actually chatted on Skype about Bloodfist and The Nest. He even offered me a job to work as an assistant for a film in Canada that was another Bloodfist kind of movie but with a female lead. Well, the entire opportunity fell through pretty fast though because the lead star got pregnant and then the film was completely shelved. So this film will always have a bit of a connection with me because it reminds me of that one time when I almost got to work in Canada living a dream and working on a movie set. He was going to provide a flight there and everything.
I was going to write the same thing!! Long live Sabaton! Love the content GBFs. You should carry on with all the low budget fight flicks. Love these movies.
I was so caught up in the awesome Mentos bit that I nearly missed the Tae Bo shoutout! It's been forever since I heard a reference Billy Blanks; I forgot he was an actor!
WOW, Who could imagine that a movie that took advantage of the success of Bloodsport could spawn even more sequels than Bloodsport? Hey, that Mentos gag and the "Rocky" music montage just left me without breath. Great job.
God it's been literally decades since I last watched a low budget martial arts film. I lived off of these as a kid. My local video store kept the kung fu section well stocked. Shame I never got to check this series of films at the time.
That Mentos joke fits so perfectly in this film. Also, just a quick explanation on the Walkman not making sense: it's explained in a deleted scene that there was a subplot in which Nancy encounters a swirling portal and upon stepping through it, enters the year 2029, where Walkmans are experiencing a surge in nostalgia-popularity. When she inspects one the tachyons of her past and the Walkman's future conflict and she ends up back in the main timeline, still holding the Walkman. While she's trying to figure it out during the fight, its wi-fi feature, which she's unfamiliar with, interferes with the fighter's ear piece. The subplot was removed because the executive producer, who would go on to oversee all of Steve Seagal's direct-to-video films, is a huge stickler for continuity and keeping the story as focused and easily explained as possible. Stop looking at me like that, I'm telling the truth.
I haven’t watched this since I was over at my friend’s house in the ‘90s on HBO. Now I’m going to have a Bloodfist marathon on Tubi! Great video as always 👍🏻
It suddenly occurs to me that I could take MANY scenes from "The French Connection" and turn them into different MENTOS commercials. -Including the ending of "Chinatown," if I wanted to get really dark. "Hey, forget it, Jake. It's THE FRESHMAKER!"
03:05: And now I'll have THAT sung stuck in my head the rest of the week. Thank you SO much Cecil. You're a bad man. I kid. Except I probably will have that damn jingle stuck in my head for a week.
The Rocky Theme interlude is great. Penny Whistles are a much underrated instrument when is comes to covering Philadelphia Soul. I like the idea of a franchise where only the title and star carry over from one film to the next.
They are all worth watching, lots of crazy action and by making it about a new character each time, they can do more with it. I hope they all get restored. So far only the first one has been.
Love seeing that you are still around ( though I can’t get over the change in voice thanks to time and mic). You’re awesome and you bring forth content that no one would have ever expected. Keep being a rock star.
Thank you! Yeah, my old setup was so bad despite being "professional". The college I worked for had a soundbooth but the equipment they were using was junk. I've also gotten more comfortable over time. Lots and lots more to come!
So Michael Shaner, who played Baby, was also in Lethal Weapon as the guy Riggs ends up "talking down" from jumping off a roof by (wait for it) jumping off a roof into a rescue inflatable. In Bloodfist he actually scored on a rooftop...but ends up dying later in a fight. Universe balanced I guess.
I was totally expecting him to get his brother's kidney allowing him to fight in the tournament. I guess his missing kidney was nearly useless for the plot
the idea on the kidney thing is, kidneys get hit/injured often during fighting. you normally have 2. if one gets hurt the other can take over while it heals. if you only have 1, and it gets hit. you die. it wouldn't effect you directly while fighting.
Thanks for the review, Cecil. I've seen a few of Wilson's films, maybe a sequel or two, but I'm going to check this one out based on your recommendation.
And I know I understand why Michael Shaner was up on the ledge being talked down by Mel Gibson... Great review- Mentos, Dirty Dancing and Roger Corman goodness all in 14 minutes- Yes!!!
So, I think what they were implying with the Walkman was that the tapes were switched. Also, the most criminal thing in the movie were those mom jeans Nancy's actress wore
Or it's a cheap knock-off Walkman that doesn't conform to standards against producing radio interference. Plenty of electronics can do that. Like a microwave messing up reception on a 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
Agreed, the mentos era was 💯. I would love to see Manila some day - my brother does a lot of work in the Philippines and has a lot of good things to say. Anyway, have a nice day and remember to be mentos fresh and full of life.
Well, if they were playing the theme to Rocky like that, I'll be laughing too. 😉😂🤣 Also, nice Dirty Dancing reference. When I heard the character was named Baby, was hoping you would find a way to put it in there. Didn't let me down. Anyways, thank you, did enjoy this.
Eighties martial arts movies, where everyone was building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude, forging their tradition in the spirit of their ancestors. (So many opportunities for Kentucky Fried Movie references…)
I'm from South East Asia but ladybody only synonim with Thailand, no other part of Southeast Asia allowed them walk on the streets, maybe Singapore because they just recently allowed same sex marriage.....
You gotta do New York Ninja. The 1984 masterpiece that was shelved for 35 years. Don Wilson does the lead dub in it. It's an incredible story. Although, I am guessing you already know of it.
Great new review, Cecil. of a martial arts film. I have heard of, but never seen. including its sequels & remakes. which I wouldn't mind watching. especially Bloodfist 4 & Angelfist. also loved the Mentos edit, its was hilarious. :)
This looks loads of fun lol I can't believe it came out with that many sequels! And a few remakes! If I start watching it, I think I'll just stick to the first movie for awhile. If I'm interested enough watching the first film, I'll proceed with the others. Can't wait! Thanks for another video, Cecil! Keep it up!!

The Mentos edit alone makes this the greatest of Cecils videos. THE DAMN GREATEST.
that was so perfectly timed it was impeccable
Brilliantly edited! 👍🏾
Indeed.
Thank you so much! I was hoping it would go over well :)
I actually had to stop the video just to laugh. Plus I almost choked on my food. Bravo Cecil, bravo.
Quincy cutaway, Sabaton reference, Mentos commercial, and that training montage music...... Total home run Cecil! ✊
Thanks! I aim to please :)
Not to mention "The guy who taught Segal how to run". This was gold!
I came here to say the same thing. Sabaton refwrence and mentos commericial edited perfectly are the best things ive seen all week.
Oh god that karate champ reference too!
We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

Wow thats crazy. I wonder what the movie would have been.
I did not expect a reference to the greatest military history metal band of all time.
(to quote Wakaliwood) Expect the unexpectable!
He didn’t reference Bolt Thrower. :) th-cam.com/video/I29z5zvPmo4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qhWzB83H7TlqqEaP

''Nobody puts Baby in a corner..."
I was not expecting a Dirty Dancing reference on a Bloodfist video.
Forgetting the fact that Wilson is in this, any movie called "Bloodfist" is going to be a legend.
I was so caught up in the awesome Mentos bit that I nearly missed the Tae Bo shoutout! It's been forever since I heard a reference Billy Blanks; I forgot he was an actor!
Billy is awesome! I'm going to be covering some of his movies in the future.
9:55 “jake, the snake!”
What would an 80's martial arts movie be without an underground fighting tournament?
The karate kid
THE FRESHMAKER!
Easily the best Mentos ad I have ever seen
:)
The Mentos ad had me in tears 😂
I'm so happy that one turned out :)
WOW, Who could imagine that a movie that took advantage of the success of Bloodsport could spawn even more sequels than Bloodsport? Hey, that Mentos gag and the "Rocky" music montage just left me without breath. Great job.
Thanks! I'm always happy when I hear the bit land :)
Cecil, you are the highlight of my week. Thank you
Awww thanks! :)
You know you're in for a good time when a low-budget martial arts film lists the stars' championships on the poster.
2:47
I literally almost fell out of my chair! 🤣🤣🤣
And the Mentos was awesome!
Roger Corman, The Philippines, Martial Arts action, Good looking women & a fantastic "Mentos" edit.😂😂😂...give me a hell yes!!
Thank you!
OMG the MENTOS joke was perfect!
I aim to please :)
God it's been literally decades since I last watched a low budget martial arts film. I lived off of these as a kid. My local video store kept the kung fu section well stocked. Shame I never got to check this series of films at the time.
Had to pause it at the Mentos logo, so I could finish laughing.
:)

Stop looking at me like that, I'm telling the truth.
It all makes sense now!
I can't believe Corman cut to a Menthos commercial mid movie! But he is definitely staying fresh staying cool
Love me some Don “The Dragon” Wilson. Bloodfist 3 is my personal favourite.
I haven’t watched this since I was over at my friend’s house in the ‘90s on HBO.
Now I’m going to have a Bloodfist marathon on Tubi! Great video as always 👍🏻
Thanks! Enjoy it!
I need to find blood fist 6 right now that sounds amazing
Its currently on Tubi
@@GoodBadFlicks I know what I am watching tonight
This movie was what inspired the name of a band I was in a few years ago. We released one song. It was a blast.
Wasn't expecting the Mentos reference nearly died laughing
So happy it went over well
That Mentos bit was spot on hahaha
It suddenly occurs to me that I could take MANY scenes from "The French Connection" and turn them into different MENTOS commercials.
-Including the ending of "Chinatown," if I wanted to get really dark.
"Hey, forget it, Jake. It's THE FRESHMAKER!"

I kid. Except I probably will have that damn jingle stuck in my head for a week.
I'm sorry and you're welcome :P
Can't go wrong with Don "The Dragon" Wilson
Ahh, classic Goodbadflicks
I love this channel
Thanks!

R.I.P. Rob Kaman, who passed away this past March at the age of 63.
Oh no! RIP
@@GoodBadFlicks one of the greatest kickboxers of that era. He and Wilson both held the PKA and WKA world championships at various points.
Vic Diaz is such an actor that he makes a memorable farting vampire
Running through Manila barefoot is one of the greatest death-defying stunts ever put on film.
I was just wondering the other day when your going to drop a new GBF video . Thanks Cecil ❤
You are welcome :)
always happy to see Don "The Dragon" Wilson films! My favorite was always Virtual Combat, but any of them are entertaining!
Agreed!
MENTOS!!! (My favourite back in the day was the one with the bench)
So Michael Shaner, who played Baby, was also in Lethal Weapon as the guy Riggs ends up "talking down" from jumping off a roof by (wait for it) jumping off a roof into a rescue inflatable. In Bloodfist he actually scored on a rooftop...but ends up dying later in a fight. Universe balanced I guess.
Its like poetry
The BloodFist Franchise Rulez✊🏻!
This Franchise needs an awesome👏🏻😎🤩Bluray release🙏🏻.
I'd love to see an Exploring on Dragonfire
I was totally expecting him to get his brother's kidney allowing him to fight in the tournament. I guess his missing kidney was nearly useless for the plot
The Mentos bit was fantastic! Kinda reminds me of the Cervesa Cristal ads in Chilean Star Wars.
:)
I came here to cheer the Mentos bit! That was perfection!
Thanks! I was really happy with that one :)
The police ruling the brother's murder as suicide is way more on the nose than I expected the filmmakers thought it would be
Must be from Hollywood p
Wow, a "Quincy M.E." reference, that's rare!
the idea on the kidney thing is, kidneys get hit/injured often during fighting. you normally have 2. if one gets hurt the other can take over while it heals. if you only have 1, and it gets hit. you die. it wouldn't effect you directly while fighting.
Thanks for the review, Cecil. I've seen a few of Wilson's films, maybe a sequel or two, but I'm going to check this one out based on your recommendation.
You are welcome! Most of the series is on Tubi if you want to check it out and can't find the Bluray
Love the low key Quincy / Jim Norton reference there..... it was murder
It had been a while and I felt it was time :)
Man, I haven't seen this one!
And I know I understand why Michael Shaner was up on the ledge being talked down by Mel Gibson...
Great review- Mentos, Dirty Dancing and Roger Corman goodness all in 14 minutes- Yes!!!
Thanks! I like to squeeze in as much goodness as possible. :)
So, I think what they were implying with the Walkman was that the tapes were switched. Also, the most criminal thing in the movie were those mom jeans Nancy's actress wore
Ahhh that makes sense. They didn't really clarify. Oh and yeah, the mom jeans were very unflattering
Or it's a cheap knock-off Walkman that doesn't conform to standards against producing radio interference. Plenty of electronics can do that. Like a microwave messing up reception on a 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
@Belgand that's what I was suspecting
Bloodfist is one of those movies I heard about but never watched it.
I think its on Tubi
great channel!
Thanks!
The mentos bit took me back in time 25 years... 🤣
:)
Ah yes, Baby, my favorite Dragon Ball GT villain.
The Mentos commercial insert was really funny it made me reminisce that decade. Oh, it was 39° hot yesterday here in Manila
Agreed, the mentos era was 💯. I would love to see Manila some day - my brother does a lot of work in the Philippines and has a lot of good things to say. Anyway, have a nice day and remember to be mentos fresh and full of life.
You don't have an idea how much i wanted this one!! now make one about "Thou Shalt not Kill Except" pleeeeeeeeeease 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All in good time :)
Well, if they were playing the theme to Rocky like that, I'll be laughing too. 😉😂🤣 Also, nice Dirty Dancing reference. When I heard the character was named Baby, was hoping you would find a way to put it in there. Didn't let me down. Anyways, thank you, did enjoy this.
OMG, the Mentos part made almost fall out of my damn chair laughing. 10/10 perfect joke
:)
Eighties martial arts movies, where everyone was building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude, forging their tradition in the spirit of their ancestors. (So many opportunities for Kentucky Fried Movie references…)
You have our gratitude.
But they didn't send anyone to Detroit.
..."Do I make tea out of him?". 😂
Ah, South-East Asia: come for the lady-boys, stay because you were murdered at a fighting tournament.
I'm from South East Asia but ladybody only synonim with Thailand, no other part of Southeast Asia allowed them walk on the streets, maybe Singapore because they just recently allowed same sex marriage.....
Don Wilson had a big kickboxing rivalry with the guy who played JCVD's brother. They are both American kick boxing legends.
I love Sabaton!!!! Good to know you’re also a fan Cecil!!!!!
They are awesome!
You gotta do New York Ninja. The 1984 masterpiece that was shelved for 35 years.
Don Wilson does the lead dub in it.
It's an incredible story. Although, I am guessing you already know of it.
Yup, Amazing that it was finished.
I already loved this channel but the Sabaton reference sealed the deal. :)
Great new review, Cecil. of a martial arts film. I have heard of, but never seen. including its sequels & remakes. which I wouldn't mind watching. especially Bloodfist 4 & Angelfist. also loved the Mentos edit, its was hilarious. :)
Thank you!
I always pictured Don the Dragon Wilson playing Namor the Sub-Mariner back then.
Aw man, we really lost out.
Nice I could see that
This the third time I've seen this movie. One was sci-fi and set on Mars (i think) and another one in the 90s set in LA
I hope you do bloodfight next. Another underrated bloodsport clone.
Very good
Cecil, thanks, needed a good laugh on a monday!!! Keep up the great vids!!!
Will do!
I kept wondering where I had seen “Baby” before. He’s the dude Mel Gibson handcuffed and jumped off the roof with in “Lethal Weapon”!
Hey GBF, when will we expect another Exploring video? It’s been a couple months now!
Hopefully before the end of this month. They each take a LONG time.
Thank you been looking for this
The Mentos commercial brings back memories.
I am fully in favor of more unexpected Quincy appearances.
:)
I choked on my coffee at the Mentos bit. Great work.
Glad you liked it! Hope you didn't mess up your keyboard :)
I just realized Kwong, was the Sifu guy from VR Troopers.
3:33.... MENTOS!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
:)
This looks loads of fun lol I can't believe it came out with that many sequels! And a few remakes! If I start watching it, I think I'll just stick to the first movie for awhile. If I'm interested enough watching the first film, I'll proceed with the others. Can't wait! Thanks for another video, Cecil! Keep it up!!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it :)
Ok Cecil you had me at the Mentos edit, glad I'm not alone in this either XD
I'm glad that one worked, it made me laugh :)
Bloodfist was a great movie and Bloodfist 2.
1:12 that rat tail is so late 80s early '90s 🤙👍👍
Ha, the Mentos part! Bravo
:)
"Fist Blood.....I mean Blood Fist"....😂
Mentos! IDon Wilson has got to be the nicest actor I have ever met.
Th Mentos callback is fantastic!
Mentos the killer ninja maker!!!
Just what I needed!
:)
Fist Blood, the freshmaker!
Seagal run reference. Should've added the clip of leguizamo mocking his run
Stay fresh, stay true.
Wait, WHAT?
A farting vampire?
You really buried the lead on this one.
Never seen Vampire Hookers I take it?
The freshmaker! 🤣
