The 80s - Bloodsport (1988) The true story of an American ninja.

AutumnColorsღ · 12-28-2008, 07:24 PM

Frank Dux is an American martial artist. His former teacher in the martial arts, gives him an invitation to "The Kumite", the secret martial arts tournament where only the world's best fighters are invited. Frank shows up in Hong Kong for the tournament, but his CO's in the US Army are right on his tail. Frank wins match after match, and shows promise that he may be the first person from the Western Hemisphere to win the tournament, until the defending champion gets his hands on Frank's friend, Jackson, and injures him in the Quarter Finals. Now Frank faces an uphill climb. His friend is hurt, the US Army is on his tail, and he is on the verge of making martial arts history. The question is, will he?

Your welcome hun

This movie is a classic. I love the music too in the movie. I believe I have one of the theme songs on my computer. Actually I just found it now on youtube. Its a smoothing song.

Actually now that I think about it, I think its from Kickboxer lol But Im not sure.

Love this movie, Jean Claude Van Damme is such a great actor. I love all of his movie and this one made him famous.

AutumnColorsღ · 01-01-2009, 05:26 PM

I like Jean too, he is a great fighter actor.

This was a pretty sweet movie. Jean Claude Van Damme was one hell of a actor with the martial arts.

AutumnColorsღ · 08-02-2013, 06:10 PM

Yeah he was. Me and my dad use to watch his movies. My ex was crazy about him too.

Dreamwalker · 08-02-2013, 09:07 PM

The music in this movie is awesome. I think that song is the one they used for the flashbacks JCVD's character had.

If you like action, then I think you'll like this one. I think there's enough emotion in it to keep you entertained if action isn't your thing. There is a cute friendship between Van Damme's character and another fighter and a sorta cheesy courtship between him and a reporter. I could be wrong though because I tend to attach memories and emotions to all things 80's so my judgment could be off because of this.
