Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Leofwine_draca BADASS SHOWDOWN sounds like a kick-ass movie for martial arts legend Cynthia Rothrock but in actuality it turns out to be another of those interminable '1313' straight to video productions from schlock director David DeCoteau. The setting is one more that mansion in the hills, where a bunch of buff young guys strip off and spend their time endlessly showering and doing plenty of exercise. The "plot" involves Rothrock hanging around in an extended cameo and writing notes on a clipboard as she appraises their talents. The worst thing about this is the incompetent staging of the fight scenes with the ridiculous dubbed-in sound effects.

UglytheClown This is NOT a film. It's just 55 minutes of guys showering and working out with 15-minutes of talking to pass off an excuse for a story.I'm not even joking. This isn't a troll review, it's serious.I've posted a breakdown of the film on the 'film's discussion boards entitled "No Badasses, NO Showdown" The DVD cover is to sucker MMA fans into buying it.Thank God for DVD rip-s and sites like put-locker.How this guy continues to produce these things is beyond me.He used to make decent films. Now he just does soft-core gay-porn and puts a 'mainstream feature film' cover on the DVD too sell more copies.

bcmfb Well how do I put it, one of my favorite female martial artists brought down to this level, what were they thinking, soft porn for gay men or just a flesh fest for the ladies, acting, well there wasn't any. For a martial arts movie the fight scenes and action were at the best lacking. I was expecting a film that was worth watching, however I found myself fast forwarding to avoid the shower of bad acting and semi-nudity. I find it insulting that the martial artists showed little if any talent in both acting and martial arts, adding insult to injury they have the leading lady as a minimal, non-fighting entity, this from a lady who has been five-time World Karate Champion in forms and weapons between 1981 and 1985.

Jumbie Critic I'd swear this was gay soft porn. No words really to describe how awful, and I'm pushed to give it one star as that's the lowest I could go.Amateurish at best, no plot and a real letdown for Cynthia Rothrock, 80s action star, to lend her name to this... oh well, I guess she has to have a 'career' after all.Give this a total miss. There is no 'showdown', no fight scenes, only extensive shots of male upper bodies in showers. Hence my description of gay soft porn.Waste of time to view. Waste of words to review unless to warn others from same error I made in watching this.
