They are costly, and dont make a good ROI.

Ong bak and ip man were both good.

Ong Bak was good, The Protector was better, Ong Bak was more like "Look what I can do" film, the sequels were dog shit, Tony Jaa had a chance at being the next Jackie Chan, but failed.

I don't remember if the dude even knew how to speak a single word of english, so he was never going to be a big international star. He had no charisma either, just really good martial artist.

The Liu Kang versus Reptile fight is goated as fuck. Mortal Kombat 1995 is unironically a masterpiece. Mortal Kombat 1995 is still the best video game film of all time.

Based. I used to love watching Three Ninjas Kick Back as a kid in the 90s.

Are there any movies like Bloodsport that capture the idea of multiple global martial arts, each with skilled practitioners, coming together in a tournament?

I was Colt, but I wish I was Rocky.

combat sports becoming popular killed the mystique of traditional martial arts. people into that sort of thing would rather train to compete than watch movies about it nowadays

martial arts movies used to be a bout watching a dude do cool stuff you could never imagine irl.
now you can see dudes parkouring around/doing american ninja warrior stuff in the local park.
they need to return to a grassroots that never existed in the west.
i think there was a good segment in VHS:VIRAL called bonestorm which shows gopro footage of skateboarders vs zombie. it has amazing martial arts style action.
