How about a "Bloodsport" remake, with some elements of "Kickboxer", but we do it with women fighters instead? We can even use a stuntwoman as the lead to cut down on costs!
When Jane Jones, a beautiful but troubled American backpacking her way through Hong Kong, successfully fends off three thugs trying to rob her, it draws the attention of Shu, a female fighting champion. Shu recruits and trains Jane to fight in the vicious, all-female underground martial arts tournament known as The Kumite. After months of rigorous training, Jane is ready to face off against her killer rivals, including the apprentice of Shu’s nemesis, a Shaolin master. As other nefarious forces emerge from the shadows, Jane’s journey through The Kumite turns deadly as she risks everything to become the best female fighter in the world.

Not really a "bad" movie... not really a "b movie" either... It was competently made, and the fight scenes are violent enough to get this an R rating apparently. The fight scenes are reasonably well choreographed but not all that innovative either.
Geez, I'm not really selling this movie, huh? Well the performers are all good at what they do, and the imagery is often compelling. It was a good movie to watch for free as background while gaming. If you really like martial arts movies it's worth seeing.
