The Last Kumite 4K UHD & Blu-ray Steelbook is a high-energy tribute to classic martial arts cinema, blending nostalgia with modern action. Directed by Ross W. Clarkson, this 2024 film stars Mathis Landwehr as Michael Rivers, a retired karate champion forced back into the ring when his daughter is kidnapped. To save her, he must enter a deadly underground tournament—the Kumite—held in Bulgaria and face off against the world’s fiercest fighters.
The film features a powerhouse cast of martial arts legends, including Cynthia Rothrock, Billy Blanks, Kurt McKinney, and Matthias Hues. With training montages, brutal showdowns, and a synth-heavy soundtrack by Paul Hertzog (Bloodsport, Kickboxer) and Stan Bush (“No Surrender”), The Last Kumite is a love letter to 1980s action classics.
