Description

Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.

    1988’s Bloodsport checks all the boxes for enjoyment- original story, rich scenes and locations, likable heroes and villains, and highly rewatchable. Of course this is a JCVD centered piece but acting hidden gems are abound- Donald Gibb (“Ogre” from Revenge of The Nerds) and Saw Gerrera (Lies! But hey at least Forest Whitaker is) and Chinese Hercules himself Bolo Yeung as the timeless antagonist Chong Li (he was 42 when this was released!). I enjoy Rotten Tomatoes ratings as much as any film 🎥🎞📽 aficionado, but for a movie like this throw out the ratings and grab the popcorn 🍿. Let yourself escape to Kowloon Walled City for 92 minutes of pure enjoyment. After watching you long for more JCVD fighting against tough odds then check out 1989’s Kickboxer where JCVD confronts Tong Po!

    Even to this day I can’t recommend a movie even more that this one. I have watched it many times and can say it is worth every penny spent to buy it. Great to watch for movie night or road trips. Great action film staring Jean Claude.

    This movie was great when it first came out and is still awesome. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 33%. Simple - this person, who doesn't know movie quality just saw it. It is to be appreciated only when a person has developed life skills necessary to judge movies properly. A 20 something who hates a movie is simply stuck in their own chunky Coke and couch routine. Thank you for having this wonderful movie available to all who know quality.
