Lets be honest. This film was meant for a certain audience that actually enjoys Kickboxer 4, Balance of Power, Bloodfist 3, etc. The fight scenes and soundtrack were amazing and yes, its not the best movie but I enjoyed it a lot and thought Viking Samurai rocked it.
@@UMNightlife if you can enjoy that i'll respect your opinion but it was terrible man. Lead actor and villain were crap. Fight scenes were not great. Story was terrible. It really doesn't compare to the kickboxer sequels or any half decent martial arts film. However viking was solid and should have had a bigger role
Take this into consideration. Crowd funded film no multi-million dollar budget. Fight scenes hella dope and well choreographed. This movie was 10x better than Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny lol. They had a multi million dollar budget as well. As a retro martial arts movie fan I highly recommend watching it! 💪
Exciting times brother. A lot has happened already this year and so far so good. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping keep the 80s and 90s alive!!
My wife & I enjoyed the movie last night and it was absolutely phenomenal!!! Regardless of what the "Haters" said about your performance, we were very impressed on everything you've presented on camera and we're looking forward to seeing more of you on future films. Keep up the good work😎💪🏾!!!
As a huge fan of the same type of movies I really enjoyed "The last kumite" for what it is and what it stands for, by fans for fans and you Tubers at that. It was a plesant surpize to see the role they gave you. You Kicked Ass! major props to you for getting where you are. I am inspired !!
Hey Viking, Me and my twin Brother have been big fans for years. We’re Vandamme fans like you and fitness. I just saw the last KUMITE. Man the film literally brought me to tears more than once.. but the last time it happened was when you showed up as the undercover cop at the end. I absolutely love this film and to me it was just absolutely 100% perfect.
I'm really glad to hear about all these projects you have in development and I'm sure you'll be great in those bigger roles. Keep them coming, brother! 💪
Just watched the film. In my opinion, the story could have been written a little more subtle. But after all, it is a fighting film and I really enjoyed action scenes! Matthias and Mike were soo creepy..loved it! David, your performance was amazing! Keep up the great work! Hope you reach the stars, but always stay grounded. All the best!
I've been following the updates for a while now and as soon as I saw a physical release I jumped on it! Soundtrack and dialogue are a perfect homage to all the classic martial arts films from the 80s. There's plenty of kick ass realistic fighting, brilliant choreography, this movies a must for any fan of 80s/early 90s martial arts movies. You really kicked ass in this movie David, we'll done mate 💪 keen to see your next film Bloodstorm when it comes out 💪
Just rented this on Prime yesterday, David. Honest opinion, it was okay. The opening definitely captured the 80s vibe, but that was kinda lost once the film began. And overall the film actually reminded me much, much more of Best of the Best 2 than Bloodsport. That said, you were fantastic in it! And being that I haven't been around lately on the channel, I was pleasantly surprised to see you in it. I had no idea you would pop in. And no joke, I thought you were better than the lead. I hope you get more acting gigs as you definitely have a knack for it. And as said, your fights were awesome, loved that you got to do the JCVD helicopter kick! This must have been a blast for you. And I am always up for a little (no pun intended) Mike Moller cameo. Very underappreciated martial artist.
Hi Viking Samurai, THE LAST KUMITE is a movie for fans made by fans. I supported the kickstarter campaign and watched the movie a few days ago and I will watch it many times in the future. THE LAST KUMITE is a Retro Martial Arts Movie at it's Best, I love it. Kurt McKinney and Matthias Hues acting is good, they have for sure the most experience. Billy Blanks surprised me because his emotional acting is very convincing. But last but not least I have to say that besides your great martial-arts skills your acting was really good,so far as I know this was your first acting role, so great respect to you Viking Samurai. To every movie fan, if you like movies like BLOODSPORT, NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER (KARATE TIGER in Germany), KICKBOXER you will also like THE LAST KUMITE and please keep in mind that this movie was made with a very very small budget but it was made with hard work and with heart and soul. So go for it and NEVER SURRENDER.
Yeah, Kurt McKinney and Matthias Hues acting were clearly the best (mostly Kurt), but I was impressed by VikingSamurai's acting for being a new actor, he wasn't stiff.
The Last Kumite just became one of my favorite film's of 2024. I was happy to buy it getting on digital. I'm happy i pre-ordered the Blu-ray/ 4K it was a great throwback to the 80's/90's Martial Arts flims. I'm not upset that Rothrock didn't fight much she did a great job along side Billy Blanks mentoring the character Michael Rivers who was played by Mathis Landwehr. He did a great job, I knew he was gonna do well despite some expected Scott Adkins or JCVD to be in it. Viking it did well on it too, so best of luck on your future projects. Anyone reading this don't be afraid to follow your dreams....
I haven't watched the film yet ,but intended to do so ,its always nice to see someone that loves martial arts and 80s films to make it and I wish you all success. There is always going to be people trying to put you down in all you do but it's your life you are living not there's.
Huge congrats on this. It’s still not out where I live but look forward to seeing it. Great to see you rocking it on the big screen, and living your best life. I kinda miss the old Viking Samurai videos but I get your a busy guy these days. Go for gold bro!
I bought this movie on Amazon prime and watched it and loved it. I'm 52 and loved seeing so many of my favorite karate stars in one movie and you were amazing in it !!!!
This was a really fun movie, and you can tell this was a film made for the fans! Awesome performance BTW, and hope to see this team in more calibrations! Exciting to hear about your new Bay Area project, I am local to the Bay, looking forward to it!
That was a good twist you did towards the end man! Don’t care what anyone says, definitely had that original Kumite (80s & 90s) feel and it was cool to see some of my childhood actors back at work! But man… Viking Samurai looking insane on this movie 💯💪
I’m definitely keen to see it! Dude, you’re living your dream. I just worked as medical support on a movie set. So much hard work in it. I can only imagine how much harder it is when it’s a martial arts film. Best of luck brother.
I'm really looking forward to this I'm going to seek it out as soon as possible Great to see you living your dream Can't wait to see more in the future All the best sir
Sometimes i hate being Canadian.. I wanted to watch this movie for almost 1 year and when i saw that it was on amazon prime, i directly went there to see.. this movie is not available in your location! Happy for you , im sure the movie is great, i hope to see it soon!
Man I couldn't afford to get in on the indiegogo. But I just purchased The Last Kumite on VUDU last night. I enjoyed the movie. You're doing big things, brother. Thank you for the inspiration.
I still need to see it but I respect anyone who actually gets a film made it's difficult hard work! Ignore the haters VS and continue doing what you love. 👊🥋
I just watched The Last Kumite and i loved it. I love how Viking Samurai executed that jumping side kick or as i like to call it the Tiger Cage kick on his opponent, that was 🔥 And i also love how Billy Blanks and Cynthia Rothrock got they're licks in to at the end🤩
Watched "The Last Kumite", just last week on DVD in the UK. Some of the acting was a bit off at times but you were really good most of the time, for me you and Kurt McKinney made it so much fun. As did most of the cast, the fights were incredible as they looked so brutal I felt that some of the guys got hit hard. 4/5 stars. Will watch again soon. Thanks guys and girls.
I watched Last Kumite on Amazon Prime after watching this video. Viking Samurai is amazing in the movie! New Rising Star in action films. I can’t wait to see Bloodstorm.
I’ll be honest when I heard about a film like “The Last Kumite” I was nervous but after seeing the film I have to say I was very very impressed. The stunt work was phenomenal first of all, along with the cinematography, but I think the charm it had of its own is we now get to see multiple generations of martial artists in a film together. Also I really liked the character you played, looking forward to future projects 💪🏻
Viking Samurai is the living embodiment of manifestation. You have literally made your dreams a reality. I hope you get to work with Michael Jai White and Scott Atkins. Very happy for your success.
I love this is a movie made for a specific audience because a movie made for everyone is for no one...Same with video games, TV shows, know your audience! This was a great throwback movie!
You did a great job considering it was your first movie. The movie was ok overall though. I would give you a full review, but i would have to spoil some of the movie, which I won't do. I have to say surprisingly (because i have never seen him in a movie before) my favorite part was seeing Bolo Yeung son. He looked great and i saw a lot of his father in him, from his expression to his movements. I think he should definitely make more movies. Not sure how his english is though.
I didn't know you were into doing action films. I'll have to check out the movie I love the reviews and videos you do. I'm GEN-X so it will be pretty cool to see a good throw back to the 80s & 90s action. Keep up the great work.
This movie isn't for everyone. I think for the older audience, ppl who were born in the 70's/80's/90's. Me for example, i could watch it again and i actually liked every bit of it. I would have loved to see you more in fighting sequences but either way, i liked it! ❤
Only watched it in German so far but the dubbing was done great and your acting together with the dubbed voiceover worked well for me. It was funny though how cool you took it when the two dudes were shot in front of you. In German you basically just say to your mate „these guys are stone cold, man“ 😂
I had a good time with The Last Kumite and will be publishing a movie review since I just watched the film buying my copy from the UK. The review will be available in June on my movie review blog.
I watch The last kumite this week, and imake me happy, so much legends together, his perfomance was great, a lot charisma, The last kumite 2, bring on Loren avedon, Keith vitalli and Keith cooke
Just watched "the Last Kumite" takes me back to younger days. So many references to so so many martial arts films. Not to mention so many martial arts legends!! Definitely a labor of love, and fun movie. Nostalgia is a big factor for me. Looking forward to more from the Viking Samurai 😎
I'm of that age when I grew up with these kind of films. But I never liked them for the acting. For me it was all about the quality of the fight scenes. The training montages.and the music. I did watch the last kumite the weekend. It was nostalgic. It was cool to see all my favourite martial artists. That's all I have to say about it really
Big grats man from down under, can't wait to see the film!!!! People need to remember - martial arts films are like Porn. They aren't supposed to be Academy award nominations, they move you forward quickly to the good stuff - the action! Ps. 2 martial arts films that never get a mention are the perfect weapon and angel town - check em out for some more 80's action!
Decent Budgets dont necessarily mean Decent movies. This is proven by kickboxer vengeance, and retaliation. Bloodsport, and the original Kickboxer had a certain charm that money just can't buy. Unfortunately Last Kumite didn't have a budget , or this charm, and I could list off hundreds of things that were wrong with it. But i wont! Because it really showed me it's potential for the future. After watching it I have to say I was really suprised at how good Viking was ( And I've been a harsh critic of his in the past) but he had a great onscreen presence, and charisma, and his acting was far better and suited to these types if movies than most if not all the cast. For me the lead actor, and villain were terrible. I think if this movie had a million dollar budget, was shot in Asia , with Viking samurai in the lead role, and Bolo yeung jr as the villain it really Could have been something.
I am going to be honest here Dave. I thought this movie going to be bad and it is. the Acting the line delivering the fight sound effect everything looked sounded just so amateur. Some of the fights are well choreographed but most of the actors were just bad. The Heavy looked laughable and so bad at acting. Some fighters are just terrible choice buy the casting department. I love blood sport don't get me wrong and kick boxer all van damme films but this is just not even close to any good fight movies from the 80s 90s. I am sorry but this movie is just bad. Even the cinematographer and the angels he picked just made the film look so outdated with the editing. You were the best thing in the whole movie. you acted good. you should of played the main role not that guy. Congrats for the role you need a good agent and pick better films if you can. Hats of to the producer writer for completing the film but I am sure he can do better than this next time.
I am proudof you brother. You'll be a great action martial arts film sensation. Definitelywe will work together in near future in Africa. Keep up striving and God bless you🙏
Ok, just got done watching it. It was pretty good, the acting made me cringe hard ASF, which is only natural considering it carries that 80s-90s Martial Arts movie aura. Besides that, this film I'll say has replay value, I'd watch it again 👌🏾. Pros: Fight Scenes Cons: Acting
Great job just finished watching the movie thought you were a villain at first. But overall great job man the whole star package of actors put together was great!
Bro just watched the movie and I absolutely loved it! I was taken back and it was absolutely thrilling! It was a great billboard to showcase your talent! You had the most complex character of the film! This film showcased not only your martial arts ability but also your great acting talent! So proud of you brother! 🇺🇸💯🙌🏻🎥🎬🫡🥊
The one guy who wasn't actor (Mr Samurai) was the best part of the film ironically. As a fan of the 80s and 90s films I didn't find this one enjoyable. Sorry to say. The story didn't flow that well and felt like most of the cameos were being shoe horned in. The story was less believable than usual, i.e one week to get trained by the guru for the big fight, most films from back in the day would have months led into it story wise. And I was disappointed not to see more of Bolo Yuengs son in this film. You can see Paul Hertzog's soundtrack was phoned in essentially ripping off his own work and reworking it slightly from Kickboxer / Bloodsport days. I did have high hopes for this, but it missed the mark big time. I think were it failed compared to movies back in the day, is the lack of a Hong Kong team to do the fight choreography behind the scenes. This is were movies like NRNS would shine when the story itself was weak in comparison. Positives - Viking Samurai, Mathius Hughes Keep it up Viking.
Just finished watching The Last Kumite. Very happy with how it turned out. Got to see the debut of Viking Samurai David Kurzhal, he's the reason I was able to be a part of this project. This movie is full of my martial arts heroes from the 80s and 90s. It's nice to see a martial arts film without a ton of cgi. Billy Blanks is a personal hero of mine, Mattis Hues was a great bad guy and Cynthia Rothrock just rounded out the cast. Caught my name in the special thanks section of the credits. Definitely a fun throwback movie just like they intended. Congrats David! I look forward to your future projects.
Hey Viking. Congrats on film. I’m a huge fan of 80’s-90’s martial arts films. I will be purchasing The Last Kumite to add to my collection. Is this film connected to Bloodsport? Is Frank Dux mentioned? Can’t wait to see the film. Congrats again!
Congratulations on the movie bro! I am watching the movie tonight on Amazon Prime! I am so excited to watch it I'm even ordering In-N-Out Burger for dinner! I will personally review the Last Kumite on IMDB and on Rotten Tomatoes!
Just keep pursuing acting & not be an Ong Soo Han in never giving up on acting. Hopefully you get to branch into even meatier roles & get into mainstream roles including tv shows & not just action stuff, but more dramatic roles. I came across a guy who told me that the ones who make it big like the Pacinos & Deniros in show biz are the ones who stick to their craft, always perfecting that craft, always networking & constantly auditioning since as he said you cannot get arrested for auditioning & gotta have that burning passion for acting in spite of the countless rejections metaphorically similar to how a sales person usually needs to make a lot of sales calls & get tons of rejections before landing that sale. See you at the top & hopefully I get to interview you like you have with the Van Dammes & Seagals of the world! After you take out Moseley, I hope you get to take out Delahoya & Mayweather in boxing taking away Mayweather's 0!
Learned about all this from the SBIG channel and almost overhyped it for myself. Once I put my 80s eyes and brain in place, it was just a great silly 80s martial arts flick and it was great to see the old and new torch carriers mingle. Ya did a great job. Cheers.
I just watched The Last Kumite... I enjoyed the movie... VS you did a great job acting... fights and choreography plus the 80's sountrack were good... look forward to future projects from you 💯

Excellent.
...and thanks for no midroll ads that

I let all your opening and closing ads
run.
TLK was an awesome throwback martial arts movie. Your character should get his own spin off, kind of like Boyka from Undisputed.
Purchasing the DVD & I will have to find a Player! Great Job Bro!!
Your hater is AJ Van Bakker😂
Also at CA Amazon for those looking
Lets be honest. This film was meant for a certain audience that actually enjoys Kickboxer 4, Balance of Power, Bloodfist 3, etc. The fight scenes and soundtrack were amazing and yes, its not the best movie but I enjoyed it a lot and thought Viking Samurai rocked it.
Nice, someone else noticed that kickboxer 4 feeling. I was beginning to think I was the only one who watched that one lol
It wasn't widely watched. There are a lot of references to those straight to video sequels, which I appreciated.
It was absolutely shit but he was the best bit about the movie
@@hdmedia8089it was shit we can all enjoy.
@@UMNightlife if you can enjoy that i'll respect your opinion but it was terrible man. Lead actor and villain were crap. Fight scenes were not great. Story was terrible. It really doesn't compare to the kickboxer sequels or any half decent martial arts film. However viking was solid and should have had a bigger role
Take this into consideration. Crowd funded film no multi-million dollar budget. Fight scenes hella dope and well choreographed. This movie was 10x better than Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny lol. They had a multi million dollar budget as well. As a retro martial arts movie fan I highly recommend watching it! 💪
yeahhhhhhhhh
You exaggerate.
Exactly
If you're not getting some hate, then you're not making waves.
Exciting times brother. A lot has happened already this year and so far so good. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping keep the 80s and 90s alive!!
My wife & I enjoyed the movie last night and it was absolutely phenomenal!!! Regardless of what the "Haters" said about your performance, we were very impressed on everything you've presented on camera and we're looking forward to seeing more of you on future films. Keep up the good work😎💪🏾!!!
As a huge fan of the same type of movies I really enjoyed "The last kumite" for what it is and what it stands for, by fans for fans and you Tubers at that. It was a plesant surpize to see the role they gave you. You Kicked Ass! major props to you for getting where you are. I am inspired !!
Hey Viking, Me and my twin Brother have been big fans for years. We’re Vandamme fans like you and fitness. I just saw the last KUMITE.
Man the film literally brought me to tears more than once.. but the last time it happened was when you showed up as the undercover cop at the end. I absolutely love this film and to me it was just absolutely 100% perfect.
Thanks man, glad u liked it!
I'm really glad to hear about all these projects you have in development and I'm sure you'll be great in those bigger roles. Keep them coming, brother! 💪
Just watched the film. In my opinion, the story could have been written a little more subtle. But after all, it is a fighting film and I really enjoyed action scenes! Matthias and Mike were soo creepy..loved it! David, your performance was amazing! Keep up the great work! Hope you reach the stars, but always stay grounded. All the best!
Thanks so much!

You're welcome buddy!!! 👍👍👍 Glad you read my review. You all deserve it!!!
Thanks so much, loved it!
Just rented this on Prime yesterday, David. Honest opinion, it was okay. The opening definitely captured the 80s vibe, but that was kinda lost once the film began. And overall the film actually reminded me much, much more of Best of the Best 2 than Bloodsport.

And no joke, I thought you were better than the lead. I hope you get more acting gigs as you definitely have a knack for it.

And I am always up for a little (no pun intended) Mike Moller cameo. Very underappreciated martial artist.
Best of the best part 8
Congratulations! Really looking forward to seeing this movie.
You should, It's really good!
Hi Viking Samurai,
THE LAST KUMITE is a movie for fans made by fans. I supported the kickstarter campaign and watched the movie a few days ago and I will watch it many times in the future.
THE LAST KUMITE is a Retro Martial Arts Movie at it's Best, I love it.
Kurt McKinney and Matthias Hues acting is good, they have for sure the most experience.
Billy Blanks surprised me because his emotional acting is very convincing.
But last but not least I have to say that besides your great martial-arts skills your acting was really good,so far as I know this was your first acting role, so great respect to you Viking Samurai.
To every movie fan, if you like movies like BLOODSPORT, NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER (KARATE TIGER in Germany), KICKBOXER you will also like THE LAST KUMITE and please keep in mind that this movie was made with a very very small budget but it was made with hard work and with heart and soul.
So go for it and NEVER SURRENDER.
Agreed
Yeah, Kurt McKinney and Matthias Hues acting were clearly the best (mostly Kurt), but I was impressed by VikingSamurai's acting for being a new actor, he wasn't stiff.
I love the old 80's and 90's martial arts movies. 👍
The Last Kumite just became one of my favorite film's of 2024. I was happy to buy it getting on digital.

Hope to watch it soon! All of you guys who are involved in this "back to 80's action" project, doing a real good job!
This was a really fun movie, and you can tell this was a film made for the fans! Awesome performance BTW, and hope to see this team in more calibrations! Exciting to hear about your new Bay Area project, I am local to the Bay, looking forward to it!
That was a good twist you did towards the end man! Don’t care what anyone says, definitely had that original Kumite (80s & 90s) feel and it was cool to see some of my childhood actors back at work! But man… Viking Samurai looking insane on this movie 💯💪

I’m definitely keen to see it! Dude, you’re living your dream. I just worked as medical support on a movie set. So much hard work in it. I can only imagine how much harder it is when it’s a martial arts film. Best of luck brother.
I'm really looking forward to this
I'm going to seek it out as soon as possible
Great to see you living your dream
Can't wait to see more in the future
All the best sir
I knew you loved retro action movies but I didn't realise you had movie aspirations. Good for you. Walk your own path. Haters hate.
Sometimes i hate being Canadian.. I wanted to watch this movie for almost 1 year and when i saw that it was on amazon prime, i directly went there to see.. this movie is not available in your location! Happy for you , im sure the movie is great, i hope to see it soon!
I would love to see a discussion between Sean David and Viking Samurai about NBA from the 80s and 90s.
Man I couldn't afford to get in on the indiegogo. But I just purchased The Last Kumite on VUDU last night. I enjoyed the movie. You're doing big things, brother. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks, glad u enjoyed the movie
Nice viking sam. You've come along way. I was one of your first thousand subs. It good to see you succeed. Hope it just gets better
Can also confirm - you are for sure one of the highlights of the movie - great job 💪💪💪
Thanks! 😃
I still need to see it but I respect anyone who actually gets a film made it's difficult hard work! Ignore the haters VS and continue doing what you love. 👊🥋
What's Up VS. I'm watching The Last Kumite right now. Your acting was dope. And your fight sequence was excellent 👍🏿💯. Keep Doing your thing VS.
#FTH
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the movie!
I just watched The Last Kumite and i loved it. I love how Viking Samurai executed that jumping side kick or as i like to call it the Tiger Cage kick on his opponent, that was 🔥 And i also love how Billy Blanks and Cynthia Rothrock got they're licks in to at the end🤩
Whether I end up liking it or not. I'm going to buy it. To support you. Because I always been a fan of u and what u are into
Appreciate it, thanks for the support!
hope you keep getting to do more and more David. I'll watch the movie soon..Keep up the good work.
I liked the movie . The only thing the villian should have been less intense only when it came to combat
Watched "The Last Kumite", just last week on DVD in the UK. Some of the acting was a bit off at times but you were really good most of the time, for me you and Kurt McKinney made it so much fun. As did most of the cast, the fights were incredible as they looked so brutal I felt that some of the guys got hit hard. 4/5 stars. Will watch again soon. Thanks guys and girls.
Congrats man! Gonna check it out tonight!
Can't wait to get a copy!! Amazing journey you're on!!
Hey, big congrats & all the best David my man.
I watched Last Kumite on Amazon Prime after watching this video. Viking Samurai is amazing in the movie! New Rising Star in action films. I can’t wait to see Bloodstorm.
Thanks man, glad u liked the movie!
Hey man you are fighting for that 80's/90's action spirit, don't listen to the haters! Keep doing you!
Excellent V keep doing your thing man 💪🏾

❤
Ordered the steel book. Meeting Cynthia next week so if it arrives in time I'll seek to get it signed.
The whole film, along with the actors, displayed a better time in life and what is most important. These are great people. Dvd on order.
Only watched it in German so far but the dubbing was done great and your acting together with the dubbed voiceover worked well for me. It was funny though how cool you took it when the two dudes were shot in front of you. In German you basically just say to your mate „these guys are stone cold, man“ 😂
I had a good time with The Last Kumite and will be publishing a movie review since I just watched the film buying my copy from the UK. The review will be available in June on my movie review blog.
My limited edition 4k steelbook arrived a couple of days ago :)
I watch The last kumite this week, and imake me happy, so much legends together, his perfomance was great, a lot charisma, The last kumite 2, bring on Loren avedon, Keith vitalli and Keith cooke
I am happy to see you moving up. I look forward to seeing it
I’m happy that it is all coming together for you
Just watched "the Last Kumite" takes me back to younger days. So many references to so so many martial arts films. Not to mention so many martial arts legends!! Definitely a labor of love, and fun movie. Nostalgia is a big factor for me. Looking forward to more from the Viking Samurai 😎
I haven't watched it yet, but I did order it. I'm going to ignore the hatters and enjoy it for what it is.
I'm of that age when I grew up with these kind of films. But I never liked them for the acting. For me it was all about the quality of the fight scenes. The training montages.and the music. I did watch the last kumite the weekend. It was nostalgic. It was cool to see all my favourite martial artists. That's all I have to say about it really
Can’t wait to watch it! I know I’ll love it David. Keep kicking!
Big grats man from down under, can't wait to see the film!!!! People need to remember - martial arts films are like Porn. They aren't supposed to be Academy award nominations, they move you forward quickly to the good stuff - the action! Ps. 2 martial arts films that never get a mention are the perfect weapon and angel town - check em out for some more 80's action!
Decent Budgets dont necessarily mean Decent movies. This is proven by kickboxer vengeance, and retaliation. Bloodsport, and the original Kickboxer had a certain charm that money just can't buy. Unfortunately Last Kumite didn't have a budget , or this charm, and I could list off hundreds of things that were wrong with it. But i wont! Because it really showed me it's potential for the future. After watching it I have to say I was really suprised at how good Viking was ( And I've been a harsh critic of his in the past) but he had a great onscreen presence, and charisma, and his acting was far better and suited to these types if movies than most if not all the cast. For me the lead actor, and villain were terrible. I think if this movie had a million dollar budget, was shot in Asia , with Viking samurai in the lead role, and Bolo yeung jr as the villain it really Could have been something.
Thanks so much man, really appreciate it!
I'm so happy for ya man, like you said haters gonna hate , you better live your dreams to the last drop
Not all if haters are bad people.
I am going to be honest here Dave. I thought this movie going to be bad and it is. the Acting the line delivering the fight sound effect everything looked sounded just so amateur. Some of the fights are well choreographed but most of the actors were just bad. The Heavy looked laughable and so bad at acting. Some fighters are just terrible choice buy the casting department. I love blood sport don't get me wrong and kick boxer all van damme films but this is just not even close to any good fight movies from the 80s 90s. I am sorry but this movie is just bad. Even the cinematographer and the angels he picked just made the film look so outdated with the editing. You were the best thing in the whole movie. you acted good. you should of played the main role not that guy. Congrats for the role you need a good agent and pick better films if you can. Hats of to the producer writer for completing the film but I am sure he can do better than this next time.
this movie sucked so hard. but the music is ok though. Hues acting was also bad. kurt was good.
I am proudof you brother. You'll be a great action martial arts film sensation. Definitelywe will work together in near future in Africa. Keep up striving and God bless you🙏
Congrats my friend! Greetings from Poland! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man, you should definitely go to the premiere in Poland!
Ok, just got done watching it. It was pretty good, the acting made me cringe hard ASF, which is only natural considering it carries that 80s-90s Martial Arts movie aura. Besides that, this film I'll say has replay value, I'd watch it again 👌🏾.
Pros: Fight Scenes
Cons: Acting
I just read your bio that you wrote on IMDb. It’s Hilarious hahaha. It’s mighty nice being your own critic, right??
Congrats to you, my friend! I would love to see you in a film where you face off against the Predator! You rock, sir!
That would be cool!
Great job just finished watching the movie thought you were a villain at first. But overall great job man the whole star package of actors put together was great!
Thanks, glad you liked the movie
Bro just watched the movie and I absolutely loved it! I was taken back and it was absolutely thrilling! It was a great billboard to showcase your talent! You had the most complex character of the film! This film showcased not only your martial arts ability but also your great acting talent! So proud of you brother! 🇺🇸💯🙌🏻🎥🎬🫡🥊
Thanks Antonio!
The one guy who wasn't actor (Mr Samurai) was the best part of the film ironically. As a fan of the 80s and 90s films I didn't find this one enjoyable. Sorry to say.
The story didn't flow that well and felt like most of the cameos were being shoe horned in. The story was less believable than usual, i.e one week to get trained by the guru for the big fight, most films from back in the day would have months led into it story wise.
And I was disappointed not to see more of Bolo Yuengs son in this film.
You can see Paul Hertzog's soundtrack was phoned in essentially ripping off his own work and reworking it slightly from Kickboxer / Bloodsport days.
I did have high hopes for this, but it missed the mark big time. I think were it failed compared to movies back in the day, is the lack of a Hong Kong team to do the fight choreography behind the scenes. This is were movies like NRNS would shine when the story itself was weak in comparison.
Positives - Viking Samurai, Mathius Hughes
Keep it up Viking.
Just got it on prime about to watch! Hope this is just the beginning to many more martial arts films.
Just watched and loved it. And the Viking does a great job!
Haters stand on the sidelines while true individuals play the game taking hits and getting up still running
VikingSamurai's spinning/helicopter kick was probably the best kick in this movie, and his acting was very good for being a new actor.
Some other actors in this movie were too stiff, but that is not too big issue.
Wasn’t the best movie ever. But it was enjoyable and VS had a surprisingly cool character in the film. It was fun
Oh.. small update, we can buy it on youtbe.. so i did!
I’m checking this out tomorrow afternoon
Alright man it's over I really liked it I don't have anything negative to say I like the axe kick at the end and I nerded out to see Billy fight
I just look it , and really enjoyed , great job!
Oh dam your back lol looking like a cop lol
Question for you David, I was wondering if you knew of a Canadian streaming release for this? I've been waiting to see this movie, looks super good
Just finished watching The Last Kumite. Very happy with how it turned out. Got to see the debut of Viking Samurai David Kurzhal, he's the reason I was able to be a part of this project. This movie is full of my martial arts heroes from the 80s and 90s. It's nice to see a martial arts film without a ton of cgi. Billy Blanks is a personal hero of mine, Mattis Hues was a great bad guy and Cynthia Rothrock just rounded out the cast. Caught my name in the special thanks section of the credits. Definitely a fun throwback movie just like they intended. Congrats David! I look forward to your future projects.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the film!
I think Matthias commanded the screen every time he was on it.
I haven't seen the movie yet but would a sequel be a consideration?
Hey Viking. Congrats on film. I’m a huge fan of 80’s-90’s martial arts films. I will be purchasing The Last Kumite to add to my collection. Is this film connected to Bloodsport? Is Frank Dux mentioned? Can’t wait to see the film. Congrats again!
Not connected to Bloodsport and Frank is not mentioned
I JUST SAW THE MOVIE!!! YOU NAILED IT!!! I think a star has born!!!
Thanks!
Congratulations on the movie bro! I am watching the movie tonight on Amazon Prime! I am so excited to watch it I'm even ordering In-N-Out Burger for dinner! I will personally review the Last Kumite on IMDB and on Rotten Tomatoes!
In and Out rules!
Just keep pursuing acting & not be an Ong Soo Han in never giving up on acting. Hopefully you get to branch into even meatier roles & get into mainstream roles including tv shows & not just action stuff, but more dramatic roles. I came across a guy who told me that the ones who make it big like the Pacinos & Deniros in show biz are the ones who stick to their craft, always perfecting that craft, always networking & constantly auditioning since as he said you cannot get arrested for auditioning & gotta have that burning passion for acting in spite of the countless rejections metaphorically similar to how a sales person usually needs to make a lot of sales calls & get tons of rejections before landing that sale. See you at the top & hopefully I get to interview you like you have with the Van Dammes & Seagals of the world! After you take out Moseley, I hope you get to take out Delahoya & Mayweather in boxing taking away Mayweather's 0!
Great job, David! I was wondering if you planned on reviewing Darkness of Man on here?
I will
Hope it drops on Amazon in Australia soon. If not, will just have to wait for the physical copy, which I'll be getting regardless. Well done!
Or even to pay to download of her on UA-cam but yes I wish us Aussies would hurry up and have access
I haven't watched the Last Kumite just yet but soon I will. I saw a few short Footages of it and so far it looks AMAZING!
Learned about all this from the SBIG channel and almost overhyped it for myself. Once I put my 80s eyes and brain in place, it was just a great silly 80s martial arts flick and it was great to see the old and new torch carriers mingle. Ya did a great job. Cheers.
Just went to Amazon prime video and rented the movie. Looking forward to watching it this evening!
I just watched The Last Kumite... I enjoyed the movie... VS you did a great job acting... fights and choreography plus the 80's sountrack were good... look forward to future projects from you 💯
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I still believe you should of had the lead role...I would have enjoyed a longer fight between you and Dracko!!!
Watched it on Saturday night.
Good straight forward martial arts film
We don't get many of them now
I enjoyed it
Hope they make more
