Van Damme wasn't in the other bloodsports, I wouldn't waste your time with those. The 1st Kickboxer, Best of the best, enter the dragon, also way of the dragon the famous fight between Chuck Norris vs Bruce Lee would be a great reaction.

Bloodsport 2 and others had no Van Damme. They were not even close to this masterpiece.

Fun fact: The Muay Thai fighter (Paco) helped with the choreography for this movie. Great Master Paulo Tocha was his name. What’s even more incredible is this movie showcased Muay Thai during a time it wasn’t even hardly known

Van Dame movies practically invented the repeat-the-move-three-times-and-then-one-more-in-slow-motion! The other Blood Sport movies were low budget direct-to-home-video releases and did not involve JCVD but might be worth a reaction to see how it holds up. Kick Boxer 1 would probably be the better follow up in terms of JCVD movies. ^_^

Awesome. Best of the Best ( also mentioned in Cobra Kai ) is the Perfect movie for you to react. It’s a USA vs Korea Karate vs Taekwondo Tournament.

"Is he seeing God?" Made me spit my cheerios out, and snort milk. Not sure if you meant that to be funny, but it was. LOL

The music for this movie is half of what makes it amazing. I saw thia movie at like 4yo in the 90s and been one of my alltime favorite movies since.

Jean Claudes also amazing in the movie LION HEART! There are some great fight scenes in there. Please REVIEW

I loved this movie so much growing up. As I got better at Tang Soo Do (and other styles) I could pick out all of the choreography issues. But I never cared. It's still a great movie.

In the 0:30-0:45 area of the clip where you were trying to figure out the kata, there is not one. It's a flourish of movements that were created by him to showcase two things: Splits and Ninjutsu hand knitting postures (kuji kiri or kuji in). Frank Dux claims Ninjutsu as his background and thus they wanted to have a few spots in the film that showed that.

Van Damme's flexibility is legendary. He was also a ballet student, and he always say that ballet is one of the hardest training anyone can gets. You have to see "Timecop".

The kata he does at the beginning is an old American form called "which way to muscle beach?" The movements and poses are the different ways to get there.

As far as I know , in the movie, when a fighter surrenders have to say "matte" so the fights stops. Correct if I'm wrong, in Japanese the word matte means "wait" , right? P.d. Please, don't waste your time with bloodsport 2 . better watch "kickboxer 1" or "lion heart". Best van Damme movies IMHO.

Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Lionheart are the holy trinity of JCVD movies.

Super fun movie. One of those movies you can watch it every day and never get bored of it. Funny, one time I saw it with some friends that never have seen it before and at the end this one guy was so amused and said "all that is missing is that they tell me this movie was based on true events" and that Frank Dux bio showed up inmediatly. We laughed so much on him for that 🤣

The Scene 2:47 after the punsh , he break his neck on purpose, therefore the masters turning their backs on Chong-Li ... I was a little surprised about your reaction on this scene, but the celebration was funny indeed,,,

I always wondered what the word they used for tapping out was when I first saw the movie and had no idea about anything Japanese. I want to say that it was supposed to be something like "MATTE" [待って], like in "chotto matte" or "wait a minute". So that you stop the fight and it's over and you're essentially tapping out.

I guess there is one lag big martial arts movie franchise from the 80s left: Best of the Best. They had probably the best cast in terms of martial arts proficiency of all the 80s martial arts movies. And I think Yusuke could have an interesting conversation with Phillip Rhee (who plays Tommy Lee in the Best of the Best movies). By the way, she doesn't say 'yamete' the just pronounces 'matte' in a very Americanized form.

This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I still love it. I enjoyed watching your reaction to it. Thanks.

As you saw from the first minutes of the movie, it is full of real life martial artists. You can see just how much UFC1 was inspired by this movie.

Absolutely love your commentary. You should be hired as a film consultant. I will say that not all movies are based on fact or martial arts. Some things are just for show and effects. Love the channel. Keep up the great work

The other bloodsports have Daniel bernhardt in them. Also please review the Quest, kickboxer, and lionheart.

You should watch Shoot Fighter! It's got Chong Li (Bolo Yeung) from this as Johnny's (William Zabka's) sensei. The fighting is pretty good. Kreese is in it too. It's free on KZfaq.

In the movie canon Van damn is suppose to be doing some type of Ninjutsu but just like in the Kickboxer movie where he is suppose to be doing Muay Thai , Van damn just does what he knows

I absolutely love, his breakdown's he is insanely well-spoken and very true about everything he discusses.

This was great, awesome movie. I really hope Fighter in the wind (2004) would be next, to get some Kyokushin Karate techniques covered.

Rather than Bloodsport 2 you might want to try The Quest. It also stars Jean Claude Van Damme and was co written by him and Frank Dux (Who Bloodsport was supposedly based on). The Quest is pretty much the same format ie. Different martial artists entering a tournament but features some diverse styles.

Yeah, Frank Dux might be lying, but it's still a classic movie and that's the important thing.

Classic, my all time favourite tournament movie. Bloodsport 2 is also a good watch, some good choreography

10:17 it's supposed to be embarassing. BTW: Don't watch Bloodsport 2 & 3 - you'll be disappointed. If you wanna see some TRUUULY impressive martial arts, you should watch and react to 'ONG BAK'. 😉

I’m so glad you enjoyed this movie haha. The best part though is you find Chong Li’s facial expressions hilarious. As did my friends and I in the 90s. lol

Some of the fighters in this movie were also in Van Damme's movie "Lionheart". For a good laugh, check out some Steven Seagal movies. For Chuck Norris, "Breaker! Breaker!", "An Eye For An Eye", "A Force Of One" and "The Octagon" all have a lot of fight scenes.

That scream he did when he was concentrating was epic

Van Damme is an absolute legend and hero. Long live JCVD 🧿💜

Van Damme is in a movie called Kick Boxer that is really good from the 80s . Thx for doing this been really cool seeing ur reaction ! Van Damme took Shotokan Karate and Kick boxing too . I think he was a black belt at like 18 or something like that . His dad enrolled him in the classes .

Really enjoyed watching you critique all these beloved movies like "Karate Kid" ... "Bloodsport" & "Cobra Kai" ... Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us Sensei - 👊🏻 From 🇨🇦

I have no idea how your videos got in my feed, but I'm enjoying your take nonetheless. Good stuff! PS: Japan is beautiful, and I love the culture. I'm looking forward to my next visit to really absorb and learn more.

I love Bloodsport, seen it more than 20 times, and seen every Jeanne Claude van Damme movie too. Brilliant actor and martial artist.

Bolo Yeung perfected the “crazy eyes” for this movie 😈

this is an 80 action film good guy always wins no guessing, well except for "best of the best" but that ending is one of the best ending I've ever seen to an action movie.

I love seeing your reactions. You are a awesome human being 😁

Glad i came across your videos ...I enjoy watching

I'm a little sad he didn't react to the post-script saying that this was all totally real and definitely happened. And also that Frank Dux holds several extremely authentic and definitely physically possible records.

Whats sad is this generation hasn't got this type of cinema anymore

Next time "The way of the dragon" by Bruce Lee, in that film are Chuck Norris that practice Chun Kuk Do (originally based on Tang Soo Do from Korea btw Tang Soo Do was used by Kobra Kai dojo too). I suggest you to watch "Fighter in the wind" too, the film was basad on the Japanese book Karate Baka Ichidai and the story was inspired by the life of the real-life karate martial artist Mas Oyama.

Love this film ! One of the best. ☺️ Sound track can’t be beat !

Hope you watched the end where it mentioned all of Frank Dux amazing records. Someone else mentioned Best of The Best, another absolute classic. Also Van Damme knew many styles so thats probably why you saw many styles from him in Bloodsport

I always loved 'No Retreat, No Surrender'. It probably doesn't focus enough on fighting for you though.

Chun Li was played by legendary Chinese actor/martial artist Bolo Yeung. His resume goes back to the early works of Jackie Chan and Samo Hung.

Really enjoying your videos after coming across your reaction of Perfect Weapon. Its enjoyable to see a reaction from a martial artist who talks about the techniques used unlike other reaction videos who only talk about how fake the fights are or the choreography. Glad you explained what Yamate means since I only thought it meant Chong Li quit cause he couldn't go on but knowing that it's more like "No more! I give up!" puts it in a different context. 🤣 Thanks!

Bloodsport was my favourite movie growing up, i literally watched it every day, and i will still sit and watch it to the end no matter how far along into the movie it is when i see it on tv. if you haven't already reacted to it, you should check out "Ninja Assassin"

So, the 3rd section opens with Van Damme practicing the Ninjutsu Kuji-in meditation. He "does the splits" whenever he can, in his movies - but his martial arts style uses this ability to advantage, regularly. Fun for the whole family! 😃 Would have been fun to see a sparring match between Van Damme and either Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee!

You said "oh, that's why they have that there. Please explain because I always took them turning their backs as them shaming him for killing that guy."

Bolo Yeung knows numerous martial arts but one of the main ones he uses is Thai Chi and he has been in hundreds of movies even a few as a good guy.

The perfect experience of viewing martial arts for the first time is to see Bloodsport and then to see UFC 1.

i cant wait to see this!!!!!!!

I grew up on this movie. I cry every time at the end

Kick boxer is the other early Van Damme movie that put him on the movie map. Worth a look…

just found this channel. loving it

Van Damme never did the sequels, but kickboxer and lionheart pretty much follow the same premise as Bloodsport. The next film I think you should check out is "Best of the best." It's not karate though, its taekwando but I think the film teaches a good lesson in sportsmanship.

JCVD reminds me of Tony Jaa in athleticism. JCVD has an interesting history. Not only did he start martial arts at the age of 10, he also did five years of ballet. I assume that's where his flexibility came in.

Nice Bloodsports reaction Sensei. Next reaction: Kickboxer (1989)

This movie has a lot of history behind it's production, as well as all the actors involved. The villain was close with Bruce Lee! I wouldn't watch the sequels, they don't have JCVD in them, and they're not that good.

In the US, slang for "I surrender" is "uncle". I don't know why.

Yes I recognize it is done by ninja rituals in Japan it is more ninjitsu!!!! Sho Kosugi had a poster where he shows that symbol from his hand done in ninjitsu!!!! This movie Bloodsport is based on an American that went to the kumuite knowing ninjitsu arts train by a Shidoshi named Enzo Tanaka!!!!

I love this classic movie Jean Claude Van Damme is the best cinematic martial artist of his time

The Movements and Theme fight reminds me of most fighting games I played in the 90s.

I was watching some of your videos not sure if you ever seen The Perfect Weapon but I think you would love to watch that guy. That movie might be the best I ever seen in Karate fighting! Never mind just seen a video you did watch it already lol. Good flick!

I would love to see you watch and react to a couple movies. The first is Showdown in Little Tokyo and the second is Rapid Fire!! Amazing movies!!

JCVD has a European kickboxing background, he was an amateur champ before doing movies. Wonder what you think or Sho Kosug! My favorite 80s martial artist.

Dude! I was really waiting for your comments about Frank Dux stats at the end.

During this movie the real Frank Dux was a consultant. I heard that Dux and Van Damme had some sort of fallout with each other. After this movie was made a lot of martial art experts called Frank Dux a 100% con man. They say there is no proof of many of Frank Dux's claims. I believe that bothered Van Damme. Because he didn't wanna do a true story when his role wasn't being truthful. Jean Claude Van Damme trained his son and daughter. They are now black belts...🥋

1:08 I think he was trying to bait Frank into a game of "knuckles", you know, the reflex game when you hold your hands like that against another person's hands and you take turns seeing who can hit the other person's knuckles on top of their hand before they're able to move their hands.

You should also check No retreat no surrender.... When JCVD was the bad guy! It's so funny!!!

I would like to see you review the original Kickboxer with van damme.

Van Damme made the ”helicopter” kick famous back then. Not many actors are/were making it equally good looking. Scott Adkins is one of them and I see him as modern days ”Van Damme” :)

in the eighties there was a movie call American Ninja, it has all the same hand moves you don't recognize. Effectively they are for meditation or "ninja magic"

I was once told the hand stuff being done is more meditative. A way of focusing the mind prior to a fight in order to release stress and anxiety and to go into the fight with an open and clear mind. Not sure how true that is...didnt stick with it.

There are a lot of movies in the Bloodsport series and Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in the remake as well. Delta Force and The Octagon starred Chuck Norris which showcased tang soo do (the choreographer of Karate Kid is Pat E. Johnson, who's the referee and for many years trained with Chuck Norris), Billy Jack's martial arts is hapkido (please watch Bruce Lee's Game Of Death and it's showcased there as well), Best Of The Best also spawned sequels (starring Philip Rhee and showcasing taekwondo). I do hope you get to interview someday Pat E. Johnson and Cynthia Rothrock (who also practices tang soo do, taekwondo, karate and kung fu) and starred in The Martial Arts Kid (which like Never Back Down is also modeled after Karate Kid). Keep up with the great content and looking forward to the next episode!

Thank you for clearing up yamete, they say matay I could never find a translation for that. Oss!

Jackson-Donald Gibb also plays in The Revenge of the Nerds movies and is in Bloodsport 2.

Absolute classic !

You gotta put Best of the Best on the list! Movie focused on team martial arts tournament, USA v Korea. So good! 90’s ultimate lol

Van Damme wasn't in the other Bloodsport movies, but part 2 is still worth check out despite that fact.

found somewhere among quotations of Ju-Jitsu : "Assume that your opponent will be bigger, stronger and faster than you. Learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength"

couldn't find a review of no retreat no surrender (karate tiger) depending on the region. it has also has jean claude in it but as a evil guy. (no spoilers) most of the movie boxes posters say that also.

Might want to check out The Last Dragon 🐉, it's a fun movie from the 1980's.

The Bloodsport sequels don't have anyone from the original, you should check out Kickboxer instead. Also while it's not a great movie, No Retreat, No Surrender, could be a good watch. It was Jean Claude Van Damme's first major role and one of the few times he played a villian.

Van Damme was only in Bloodsport 1. The main actor in Bloodsport 2-4 is Daniel Bernhardt from Switzerland.

Yeah. Knows on the cloud in bucksport two or three, I think his name is Misha Mitchell. The next movie you want to see when the sun Claude is the quest

Really enjoyed this reaction

1:21 1:29 2:05 5:17 6:08 6:17

can you see why a lot of us 80s kids went outside to play bloodsport after watching this lol. now you need to watch kickboxer & lionheart. also watch enter the dragon. the bad guy from bloodsport is in that movie with bruce lee

Bolo Yeung is an absolute unit in this movie ...

Jean Claude practices Shotokan and kickboxing. The guy he’s fighting in the beginning is using Savate

Lionheart is a badass Movie with Van damme

This movie pays tribute to Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon 🐉😎😀👌"

Bolo is the big vilian he was in movies with Bruce lee and trained alot with him he is very talented

van dame is actualy a ballet dancer so he use a lot of ballet dancing combined with kick boxing in his fight moves in most of his movies.
