After surviving all eight Bloodfist movies in one editing-fueled haze, a strange truth revealed itself:
Continuity doesn’t matter
Identity doesn’t matter
Only fists matter
In the original Bloodfist, Don Wilson is a man with a name, a past, and a reason to punch bad guys. Then something incredible happens. Somewhere between sequels, Wilson clearly becomes a super-secret agent working for a society so hidden that even he doesn’t know what it’s called.
One moment he has one identity.
The next blackout.
New name.
New life.
Same jump kick.
Memories? Gone. Martial arts? Permanent.
Fast-forward to Bloodfist 2050, where Matt Mullins enters the saga, avenging the murder of his brother in a dystopian future where feelings are optional but revenge is mandatory.
Then comes Deathfighter (in memory of Joe Lewis). Mullins is back.
New timeline.
New story.
Another brother murdered. At this point, being related to Matt Mullins in an action movie is basically a death sentence.
Enter Don Wilson again, now retired from his unknowable super-secret agency, to guide Mullins and Chiranan Manochaem (Yui), in a butt kicking performance, toward an epic final showdown against shadowy villains, where one of them looks remarkably like Cynthia Rothrock.
Coincidence?
Or just further proof that the Bloodfist Cinematic Reality bends around spinning back kicks?
The lesson is clear:
Names change.
Brothers die.
Timelines reset.
But fists?
Fists are forever.
