Jean-Claude Van Damme fought several fighters in his classic action film Lionheart, but who were the actors that played those fighters? In this video, I'll be provided all the details and information including their martial arts backgrounds and credentials. In addition to that, I'll also be covering some of the other guys that appeared in the film who have extensive martial arts backgrounds as well, even though they weren't featured in any of the main fights.
As a bonus, you'll find out what Johnny Lawrence and John Kreese were up to between the events of The Karate Kid and the new Cobra Kai Series.

James Bewster Thompson is the first main guy Van Damme fought in Lionheart and is a 5th degree black belt in Judo.
Jeff Langton is the guy Van Damme fought in the parking garage and was an amateur boxer as well as California state Tae Kwon Do Champion.
The Scottish guy was played by Stuart F. Wilson, who was the A.A.U. Light Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion in 1986. He's also Bruce Willis's stunt double.
The wrestler Van Damme fought in the racquetball court was played by Magic Schwarz, who was a wrestler as well as a bodybuilder. He was also the first personal trainer at the iconic Golds Gym in Venice Beach, CA.
The guy Van Damme fought in the pool was Paco Prieto, who would later star alongside Mark Dacascos in the Sheldon Lettich directed Only The Strong.
The final guy Van Damme fought in Lionheart was played by Abdel Qissi, Van Damme's childhood friend Michel Qissi's older brother. Abdel had a professional boxing career in the early 1980s.

Hey Guys, in these types of videos my goal of course to provide factual information; however, I will make mistakes from time to time. We have a great community of Commentors who are very knowledgeable. Here are some errors I made in the video that were pointed out: At 01:23 - When I stated Michel Quissi would reprise his role as Tong Po in Kickboxer 2 and 3 with Sasha Mitchell, I was incorrect; Tong Po never appeared in Kickboxer 3. At 01:57 - I stated that Richard Norton was the karate guy wearing the blue pants who was fighting Attila; however, it has been brought to my attention that it’s actually Michael M. Foley. Key takeaway on that one is Not to trust the Trivia section on IMDB as it lists Richard Norton.

Love the new Cobra Kai! Also Lionheart was my favorite after Cyborg and Bloodsport. It was the first JCVD film I saw in the theater. I'm from New Zealand so here it was called 'Wrong Bet' for some reason.
