Featured review
Very Little Kumite in this "Last Kumite"
For a film with this much talent assembled, The Last Kumite should be a lot more fun than it ultimately is.
With an extensive cast of B-Movie names, a director with vast experience shooting action movies and both Stan Bush and Paul Herzog doing the music, The Last Kumite sets itself up to promise audiences an affectionate throwback to the martial arts glory of the 80's. What it ultimately delivers does NOTHING to separate itself from the countless other mediocre direct-to-DVD martial arts movie of the 20 years, except that it's so much more disappointing because of the potential it had.
The best thing I can say about this movie is that its fight scenes are competently staged and filmed. The problem is that you spend the majority of the movie waiting around for them with barely any action in The Last Kumite whatsoever. Instead of focusing on genre gimmicks and actually being fun, the movie takes itself pretentiously seriously with a generic plot full of tacky melodramatic dialogue and no sense of camp or irony, as well as a phenomenally low standard of acting and a director with no idea on how to elevate that.
If you cast random no-name actors in this movie it wouldn't change the film. If anything, it would honestly make it better, because then expectations wouldn't be setting viewers up for the disappointment of the final product. But with Kurt McKinney, Michel Qissi and more, I hoped for a better product. Ross W. Clarkson promised audiences a good time and delivered a film so god damn boring that I fast forwarded through most of it to get to the action and even then was unimpressed. What a waste.
