Sadly Over-hyped

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight (1992) in my opinion is the best one in the series and honestly my favorite film in the Bloodfist series. It is entertaining an adrenaline, prison style action flick from the 90's. I know I wrote years ago about Bloodfist review and saying it is my favorite film, which I watch it more times, than I have watched this one. I love prison movies my all time favorite prison movie is Death Warrant (1990) with Van Damme which he made that movie 2 years earlier before Don "The Dragon" Wilson made this movie. Honestly I would say this one in the series for me, is the best one and it is completely different film from all the rest seven movies that Don Wilson made. I have enjoyed the action, the fighting sequences and mostly I have enjoyed a real portraying of a human drama in this film. The acting from Don Wilson and the rest of the actors is convincing and the fighting scenes are very realistic.I grew up watching Don "The Dragon" Wilson's movies and a lot of his movies are crap. Not that he was the worst actor, but he was never wounded like Steven Seagal and he was never bloody, or even trying to put a hard fight, everything was acted nonsense which it was stupid. I always hate that Wilson has to get a girl on the end of his action movies (not counting Bloodfist sequels except VII , he always has to make sex scenes. I never believed that Don Wilson is a sold out for making such a awful cheap horrible movies. Bloodfist and Bloodfist IV: Die Trying were the only movies that I have saw on a TV as a kid. I never saw other movies until on TV arrived Bloodfist VI and VII. Anyway watching this movie again for the second time I have watched 5. years ago on DVD , I was really surprised by the acting, by the action drama in prison and how good it turned out to be. Don Wilson really surprised me, the first Bloodfist movie was a rip off of Van Damme's Bloodsport (1988) this movie it wasn't and Wilson even had a sex scene in the first movie, which I hated that. In this movie nether once he had a girl, or sex, which he did not had one neither sex scenes at all and I love that. I know I wrote on Death Warrant my review that this movie ripped off the idea from Death warrant I was wrong.This movie is way different from Death Warrant is not even a close similar, this film shows the real life in prison, how is the life behind the bars. A lot of fans are watching Bloodfist series for the fight scenes and action, but this movie is better for me than all of them. I don't agree with IMDb scoring 4.9 this movie deserves at least 6 rating not 4.9. The other actors like are Richard Roundtree as Stark, Gregory McKinney as Blue and Rick Dean as Wheelhead did all a wonderful job playing their characters. I have enjoyed all of them together and again the portraying a human drama in this movie is very realistic and the fight scenes, especially on the end with Wilson fighting Gregory McKinney and Rick Dean while throwing the gas in their faces is very realistic. This is the first time I have ever saw Don Wilson bleeding out and that he got hits and beatings in a kick boxing fight.Don Wilson also plays a different character a prisoner Jimmy Boland in the first two movies he played Jake Raye, in this movie he play's completely different character and well done. I love Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight to death it is my favorite film in the Bloodfist series. Upon re watching this recently I'm pretty sure this is the best movie in the series; it has a genuinely interesting plot and it's also the most gritty and hardcore of the series. A young boy even gets raped in prison during the opening scene which pretty much sets the tone for this movie. This has a very different tone from the "fun" martial arts flicks that were the first two Bloodfist movies whereas this is more serious and frankly disturbing.Bloodfist III: Forced To Fight is my favorite film in the series and I love it to death. This flick get's a perfect 10 score by me. It feels pretty authentic with the supporting cast all looking like genuine criminals, giving it an extra air of grittiness. This film is awesome.

The third installment of "Bloddfist" was about like the first one but slightly better than the second. This time instead of the fighting ring of a arena, it's the ultimate fighting ring: Prison! Just watching a juvenile get raped and killed in prison would make any man's blood boil. Then Wilson's character avenges the kid when he let that rapist meet the end of his own knife he used to kill the kid. And it was interesting to see Richard Roundtree play in the movie. Having Wilson's character get switched around form group to group can get confusing, especially when all the prisoners are black and white. Roundtree's character helps him out despite what he sees. And the fight scenes are never-ending. It's a shame that Roundtree's character got hurt, he was tough as nails all the way. He fought for his freedom, now he's going to fight for his friend who was wrongly put there. That maybe fictional, but it gets a glimpse of prison life that will scare the delinquent straight out of his skin. The marital arts is a way of protection, and it can be a lifesaver. I enjoyed it pretty much. 2 out of 5 stars.

i have all eight of em.this one is quite noteworthy of recollection.especially if i need to laugh.dont get me wrong.overall it's not too shabby.i'd give it a 6/10 and the dragon is a legendary and highly respectable kickboxer and his acting is so so for a kickboxer i guess,but like i said.if i need to recollect something to make me laugh then i meditate and remember this flick with it's one very unique character...... none other than the nerd who's convicted for....ummm.never mind that.it's just not worth elaborating on.it's too absurd to think an innocent nerd like that would do any harm to anyone anyhow.but anyway. the part where he gets killed is so ridiculous that it's actually got lots of unintentional humor aspects/or credentials going it's way.i mean,seriously.he's this weak little nerd and they need to stab him like 10x before he finally crumples into the corner and bows out.wtf???? i mean seriously.each and every stab he moans out through the towel they have around his mouth.does this guy have extra internal organs keeping him going or something?everybody else i see getting stabbed to death in flix die after the first stab pretty much.maybe the second if they're real real tough.i mean,think about it.it's freakin hilarious!!! nevertheless.i recommend this one for plenty of prison fistucuffs and don wilson kick expertise. just had to point out that one scenes extremely strange and wonderous particularities though. peace!!!

Bloodfist III is a credible movie on many levels. It is an excellent prison movie, a legitimate hand-to-hand combat movie, and even a good message movie. It's far better than Stallone's Lock-Up. The fight scenes are much closer to being real than most of Don "The Dragon" Wilson's movies. Most people wind up hurt severely and unconscious after just one of two blows (just like real life). I'd give this one a solid 8.
