'''''Bloodmoon''''' is a 1997 MartialArtsMovie / [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop Movie]] starring Gary Daniels as Detective Ken O'Hara, Darren Shahlavi as "The Killer" and Chuck Jeffreys as Detective Chuck Baker.
In NewYorkCity, a SerialKiller is stalking the best fighters in town and killing them one by one. Supporting roles are played by [[TheRiddler Frank Gorshin]], [[ActionGirl Brandie Sylfae]] and Wrestling/RobVanDam
''Bloodmoon'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* CultClassic: Amongst martial arts fans for the very well choreographed fight sequences.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The killer goads O'Hara into the final battle by pretending to have tied his family to a bomb with a fifteen minute timer, however it's just a harmless confetti cannon.
* {{Expy}}: Baker/Jeffreys is pretty much [[Film/BeverlyHillsCop Axel Foley]]/Creator/EddieMurphy with the serial numbers filed off.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: The killer broadcasts one fight in real time over the internet to Baker's police station using a portable briefcase computer with a top mounted camera - very impressive by 1997 standards but laughably primitive by modern ones.
