DTVC Extra 14, The Bloodfist Franchise: Bloodfist VII, Bloodfist VIII, and Bloodfist 2050

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some of the weeks we don't have episodes of the main podcast. In this episode we're finishing our series looking at the Bloodfist films with "Bloodfist VII: Manhunt," "Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill," and "Bloodfist 2050." With part VII, we look at how this continues the theme of Wilson against the world with a woman helping him out, also Art Camacho as fight coordinator, and how this feels like part of the end of that golden age of DTV action between the late 80s and early 90s. For part VIII, we talk about how, even one year later, this feels like something from a totally different time. We also get more into where Wilson's career goes from here, that this feels like the beginning of the end of his great era as a DTV lead. Finally, we not only look at "Bloodfist 2050," but I get into where this franchise could have gone, and wonder why Corman didn't slap the name "Bloodfist" on more titles after this.
