If you think a lady can win only legit UFC fight think again. Big gun in Asian movie industry Bey Logan decided to go further and prove that elegant and skilled Amy Johnston can win underground fights. Did they succeed? I don’t know, let’s wait for the Lady Bloodfight release.
With a budget of $10,000,000 producers got female casting of Amy Johnston, Jenny Wu, Muriel Hofmann, Kathy Wu, Sharon Zhang. Chris Nahon, who previously directed one of my favorite martial arts movies Kiss of The Dragon, this time decided to helm a female-centric film in a Bloodsport style.
Martial arts fans know famous female actresses such as Angela Mao, Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock. But it’s a time for a fresh blood Amy Johnson who decided to join JeeJa Yanin and Rina Takeda fame. For those who don’t know Amy, her stunt resume includes doubling for Scarlett Johansson in Captain America The Winter Soldier, so she is certainly capable of handling an action-heavy role such as this.
A former Soviet Wushu athlete Temur Mamisashvili was in charged for a fight choreographer and Xin Xin Xiong for stunts.
Lady Bloodfight is being produced by B&B Productions and distributed by Voltage Pictures.
Synopsis: Jane is a beautiful but troubled American girl backpacking her way through Hong Kong. When she successfully fends off three thugs trying to rob her, it draws the attention of Shu, a Wudang champion, who is impressed by her raw street fighting abilities. Shu recruits Jane and trains her to fight in the vicious, all-female, underground martial arts tournament known as The Kumite.
After months of rigorous preparation, Jane is ready to face off against the deadliest female fighters in the world, including Ling, the apprentice of Shu’s nemesis, Wai, a Shaolin master. Other nefarious forces also lie in the shadows, taking Jane on a journey through the gritty underworld of Hong Kong as she fights to be named the best female fighter in the world.
