It's a love letter to 80s martial arts classics like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, No Retreat, No Surrender etc. It's got lots of inspiring training montages. Great fight scenes that are choreographed, shot and edited like back in the 80s. A wonderful, despicable villain played by genre legend Matthias Hues. Speaking of legends, the movie is full of them: Billy Blanks, Cynthia Rothrock, Kurt McKinney, Michel Qissi, Abdel Qissi and of course Matthias Hues. The legendary music composer Paul Hertzog (Bloodsport, Kickboxer) came out of retirement to score the film. And the music is simply amazing. It's inspiring, gets your blood pumping and it sounds exactly as if it's straight from the 80s. Stan Bush also contributed 2 songs to the film. He also did the songs for Bloodsport and Kickboxer. And they sound great in The Last Kumite. This is a movie made by fans for fans. A true passion project, done on a very tight budget, which actually adds to its B movie charm. Loved it. 7/10 for sure. Highly recommended to everyone who loves these classic 80s martial arts films.
