They basically fought like school kids with no apparent skill at all Bruce landed more punches and won. No knock out or any of the myths people created after he died. This being his only fight was confirmed by Bruce and his wife. Bruce was never a fighter. He was to small and had others who were fighters test his theories for him. His ideas and style was. It effective as we found out years later. Bruce was ahead of his time when he said practice everything and keep what works. But you need a system to test everything to know what works and that didn’t exist at the time. Bruce has no way to know what works expect his own logic without any fight experience to relate to. Not until the UFC in 1993 was a system of fighting created to test styles and techniques.

The Chinese who played Frank’s tour guide in this was an owner of a local video rental store in Hong Kong, and we used to go in there and chat with him about Blood Sport in the 90s as teens. He was really proud of his role in the movie. What I really like about 80s martial arts movies is they really focused on the different styles of martial arts, so the stylistic diversity always made them interesting, and back then there was still a lot of mystery around martial arts, so a movie like Blood Sport felt almost magical to watch (for an 11 year old boy). I find that movies these days that incorporate martial arts feel a lot more generalized in terms of style, which make all the fight scenes feel more generic and less interesting as a result… The acting was never great, but nobody watched these movies for the acting, even back then, but I think the bar was also quite a bit lower compared to today’s standard of acting. Regardless these were really great films to watch, and didn’t rely as heavily on special effects, so you know a lot of the people in this were real martial artists… and to that point, JCVD was a Karate expert, Chung Li whose name is Bo Lo Young was a champion body builder who also did King Fu, the Chinese guy in the gold pants they Chung Li killed was a well known Kung Fu teacher in Hong Kong. The place where the Kumate was held in the movie was in a place in Hong Kong called the Walled City (now torn down). It was a piece of land that was owned by the Chinese government and kept when the British colonized Hong Kong in the 1850s, but as the Chinese government changed hands to the Communists after WW2, nobody took ownership of the landed where the walled city was (back then it was a Chinese fortress), so all these illegal structures were built on the land which eventually formed into a crazy dense mass of concrete buildings and structures one of top of the other, which formed dark tunnels on the inside, like in the movie. Because neither the Chinese nor Hong Kong government technically owned the land, the Hong Kong police didn’t have jurisdiction over it, so it became a common place for criminals to escape to, and for the local mafia (triads) to hold illegal events like this fighting competition, in it without concern for the police. The Walled City was like a city within a city, with its own doctors, dentists, restaurants etc inside, but the Hong Kong government decided it was too dangerous due to the illegal structures, and decided to tear it down in the mid 90s… that was the official party line of the government, but the reality was they wanted to make room for new property developments, and they said they would relocate the people that were displaced by it, but only a small fraction of people managed to attain government assisted housing once they were forced to leave. Anyway, the Walled city is a very interesting and unique piece of Hong Kong history worth checking out. You can read about it on Wikipedia. Other Van Damme movies worth watching are Kickboxer, Lion Heart, Double Impact. If you want more 80s martial arts goodness, you should also check out Steven Seagal movies from that time (not his new stuff), like Above the Law and Marked for Death. There was also a huge Ninja with movies like Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, and the American Ninja movie series… the Ninja movies have probably the worst acting, but we’re super fun, and basically rode on the mystique of the Ninja.

it is fact as stated in 1980 Blackbelt magazine that he won the 1975 kumite. As stated in that article "although there is no convenient way to verify each & every detail, the editors have verified enough of the basic facts that we feel confident in publishing it. Regarding Dux "Although the details of his story are impossible to check out completely, Black Belt has spoken with other IFAA members from the US & abroad who have privately confirmed that the basic facts are as Dux says they are." From Dux " There exists as public record eyewitness testimony of my winning made available through court proceedings." This is in addition to the research undertaken by print & broadcast media outlets & the fact finding done by the legal firms of the movie studio & the publishing house behind his book. He has a trophy which was proven to be real. The man who claimed it wasn't misquoted the trophy shop owner. That owner repaired another of Frank's trophies that was damaged in a break in. The people responsible for the break in were caught & convicted. It is on public record. The alleged trophy receipt was shown in a court to be a fabrication. The date on the receipt is 1979 which was 3 years after a photo was taken of him with the trophy. The man who wrote the article trying to smear him & faked the receipt was a friend of Dux's ex-wife. The article was written at the same time that Dux was embroiled in a divorce. You can find pictures of this receipt online & it is clearly a fake. The description of the trophy isn't even remotely similar to the actual trophy, the inscription says Frank DUKES & doesn't have the correct address on it.

There is no "proof" he made things up, except for all of the mounds of proof of a lot of stuff he made up. He claimed to have served in Vietnam, claimed to have been awarded a Medal of Honor, and claimed to have been trained by a Ninjutsu master Senzo Tanaka, and all of those things were proved false. As far as the Kumite and his claim of 329-0 record, there is no proof that he didn't make that up. It is _very unlikely_ but not provable as it is just his word. Due to his numerous proved incorrect claims, though, most people think it's likely that he embellished other things. So, _could_ the Kumite be real? _Could_ Dux have a 329-0 record? Theoretically yes, but based on his proven history of just making up his bad-ass-ness, it seems absurdly unlikely.

At the time, this movie was loosely based on real events. Frank Dux is a real person, an American-Canadian fighter who claims to have been trained as a ninja in his youth, served as a US Marine, awarded with a Medal of Honor, worked for the CIA, and won the underground martial-arts tournament Kumite in 1975. It's amazing what people believed before the internet. After over a decade of working in Hollywood as a fight choreographer and stunt coordinator, it all came out that it was a lie; Dux's entire claim was a fabrication. If you read any info on him now, with actual research and military records, the guy is President of crazy-town.

As far as other Van Damme films go, I highly recommend watching _Kickboxer,_ _Universal Soldier_ and _Hard Target._ They're probably his three most iconic movies, aside from _Bloodsport._ _Double Impact_ is also a good one, with Bolo Yeung (Chong Li) in another role, and A.W.O.L. is a personal favourite of mine. Since you're getting into martial arts films now, you should also watch Bruce Lee's _Enter the Dragon._ It's the most iconic martial arts movie of all time, features Bolo Yeung in an early role, and was referenced in _Bloodsport._ (You'll probably get the reference if and when you see it.) As _Cobra Kai_ fans, you might want to take a look at _Shootfighter_ at some point; it's not a classic of the genre by any means, but it's decent enough, and features William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence), Martin Kove (John Kreese), and Bolo Yeung in major roles.

Frank Dux’s sensei was the legendary Tiger Tanaka, who trained the real James Bond in the art of ninjutsu. Later, the two of them teamed up to fight Spectre, the terrorist organization led by the mysterious Blomfeld. Tiger taught Dux everything he knew, including the skill of not really existing at all.

Interestingly 'Bloodsport' is one of the few movies to feature actual footage from inside Kowloon Walled City before it was demolished in 1993.

For the rational folks - 'Writing in the book Actions Speak Louder, Eric Lichtenfield said that, when his exploits are questioned, Dux counters by "actually exploiting his lack of substantiating evidence, and spinning it" into even wilder stories.[33] Dux says that the reason he no longer has a sword he was presented with at the Kumite is that he sold it in a failed attempt to buy the freedom of a boat of orphans whom he later rescued from pirates,[2][33] and that he once stopped a plot to assassinate Steven Seagal.' 😂

I got grounded for watching it, but after watching it i tried to mimic every fighting style in the film. When the video game Mortal Kombat came out on arcade, i immediately recognized the character Johnny Cage as an inspiration from Frank Dux. He even had his signature "splits punch to the nuts" move. In fact, the developers for MK have said that their inspiration for the entire game came from this movie.

Great reaction. This was based on a true story thats crazy. Also funny you mentioned MK because fun fact Bloodsport was one of thr inspirations for MK and Johnny Cages character the infamous nut punch. Ironically originally they wanted Jean Claude Van Damme to make a fighting game with him.but he rejected the offer, so Midway and the MK team went ahead to make their own original idea called Mortal Kombat about a ruthless tournament where you can kill the guy at the end of the fight and as a result Johnny Cage was born being one of the main characters. The funny thing is a few years after MK came out SF the movie came out and Van Damme played Guile, that movie sucked while MK did well. Fast forward to now and Van Damme admitted he made a mistake just over 2 decades ago and has publically said for the next MK movie he wants to play Johnny Cage. Kind of crazy how that meta is now years later haha 😄

There are actually three direct-to-video sequels. The second one Donald Gibb who plays Jackson comes back not as a fighter but as like a handler. Van Damme doesn't come back for any of them. Instead they have an actor named Daniel Bernhardt who plays Alex Cardo in 2 and 3 and a different character named John Keller in 4. If you've seen Matrix Reloaded he plays Agent Johnson. He was also the Russian hitman Kirill in John Wick and had a cameo as a tribute from District 9 in Hunger Games: Catching Fire. For other Van Damme movies to watch I would recommend Hard Target (Van Damme with a mullet, American actor Wilford Brimley - who did the Quaker Oats and Liberty Medical diabetes commercials - with a cajun accent, Arnold Vosloo - Imhotep from the Mummy - as a henchman), Kickboxer, Universal Soldier, Lionheart (it's got fighting but it's also very heart warming), Street Fighter (the second movie made from a video game, lots of cheesy lines and a scene you might recognize as a meme) and for an unusual pairing Double Team with Dennis Rodman.

This film was made 12 yr before my birth. I met Van Damme when I was 14 yr old running laps on my high school quarter mile track. I ran on one side of the oval and he on the opposite side. The centre of the oval was a lawn and I had a habit of placing my backpack and water bottle there so I could see it from the perimeter. This was like 07:00 am. Suddenly this fellow sprints out of nowhere and grabs my bag running off with it and this really fit and muscular guy yells in a French accent (actually Belgium) "He's got your bag!" I hesitate in shock for a second and start chasing the thief, but I wasn't fast enough when this "French" guy just takes off after him. The thief, realizing he would be caught, tosses my bag and ends the heist. The French guy picks up my bag and brings it over to me. It was then I realized it was the martial artist/actor, Van Damm. "I've seen your work in the theaters. Why you here?" "Scouting for locations in the city to film...but here...I am just training. Here's your bag." "Thanks Jean, I'm Diane. I go to school here in the Autumn." "Pleased to meet you, Diane." He begins to walk away and turns abruptly..."Hey, the next time, tie a long rope to your bag and the other end to the fence. Guy snatches bag and runs. Rope runs out and snaps bag out of his arms. If he holds on too tightly then the suddenly stopping bag takes the running guy down with it." "It works?" "I saw a video where they attach these bicycles to trees with a really long rope. Bike thief thinks he's got a good catch, rides off with bike at full speed. Rope runs out and snaps bike right from under them. They face plant in the ground. Very funny. But not for the thieves. Hey, have a good morning!" "Hey, thanks for the bag and lesson!" He waves and walks off. Really polite fellow. -Diane,Vancouver, Canada. SnJL31/22 02:41 am

I forgot just how awesomely 80's this movie was. ❤️ My suggestions for more of his films are Timecop and Universal Soldier, which would also get you another Dolph Lundgren movie. And speaking of Dolph Lundgren, my favorites of his' are Red Scorpion and I Come In Peace (this may have been renamed Dark Angel).

OK I don’t like your Jean-Claude Van Damme recommendations that’s just my opinion they renamed I come in peace because I actually do love that movie that’s messed up they’ve done that to a couple movies and I can never like prove it you’re good though I just think there’s some other ones that are better than those movies kickboxer cyborg

I stayed up till 4am to watch this, never been so excited for a reaction, just one of my faves for decades. Bolo Yeung (Chong Li) does star in another film with Van Damme called 'Double Impact'. There's at least 3 Bloodsport sequels but they don't feature Van Damme, Ray Jackson is in one and Pat Morita is in a couple. They did sorta reuse this films plot for 'The Quest' starring Van Damme and Roger Moore, now there's a joyfully odd team up. :)

Another one worth checking out is Kickboxer, released a year after this and filled with more training montages, inspirational music and some pretty cool fight scenes. Tough to tell which I prefer of the two films, but Kickboxer was probably the more brutal of the two (despite this having Chong Li's crazy kills and leg breaks).

Fun Fact: Van damme is the inspiration for the Johnny Cage character in Mortal Kombat. They have Johnny Cage do a similar nut punch to Prince Goro in the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie.

Gotta do more martial arts films, I highly recommend Above The Law (Steven Seagal). The plot is interesting and Seagal's fight choreography was innovative, added a new dimension to hand to hand action. Classic

ATL is Seagal's best movie, and it's really his only good one. Directed by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive) and also starring Sharon Stone, Pam Grier, and Henry Silva. There is literally no other Seagal movie I can recommend. "Under Siege" was a big hit, featuring both Gary Busey and Tommy Lee Jones as villains, which makes it suck the least out of all his other movies, but it's still pretty bad.

This whole story is a fabrication of the real Frank Dux's mind. That being said, it's still a very entertaining movie and my favorite of JCVD's followed by Lionheart and Kickboxer.

lol, yeah, the tournament where he supposedly knocked 60 other fighters consecutively. Hahaha! The guy is a legend in his own head. His exaggerations when making up all these silly lies of his are truly something else considering a tournament where on man knocks out 60 men consecutively like that would be a mathematical impossibility. A contest like that would have to include several billion people. Guess Mr. Dux didn't pay much attention in math class as a kid.

​Kumite or Mixed Martial Arts fighting goes back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Mitsuyo Maeda was trained in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu and went on to do hundreds of challenge matches in North America, he would later end up in Brazil and one of his students was Carlos Gracie. Going back further, Jiu-Jitsu was used on the battlefield by weaponless samurai. It's theorized the martial art was brought to Japan via people who interacted with Alexander the Great's armies in the Middle East and India. At the time it would've been called Pankration and was actually an early Olympic sport. So Mixed Martial Arts type fighting has been around in some form for about 2700 years.

19:05 was the direct inspiration for Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat. It is believed that this film was also a big influence on the rest if the game too. Also check out the Revenge of the Nerds films specifically the character Ogre, he may look familiar 😁
