Bloodsport

I don't know if I'm reviewing Kickboxer or Bloodsport. I've mashed both films together in my mind named Kicksport. Either way, its Van Damm kicking, punching, yelling in slow motion, and doing impossible splits. One of the lower-tiered action movies from the 80s but still enjoyable and one of JCVD's best movies. Or maybe I'm thinking of Kickboxer. Shrug.

"What kind of a deal?" It's a travesty that kid never made it as a Hollywood superstar. Comedy genius combined with Bolo Yeung who's so badass he could knock you out from 30 yards away with one twitch of his bionic pecs and this also has THE greatest line in movie history. What's not to like about this film?

No rules, no mercy, no shirts, lots of nutshots and splits and screaming. This movie is batsh*t bananas. One of my favorite Van Damme flicks.

If Tsenzo Tanaka is your shi-do-shi, then show us the Dim-Mak.

Very good, on facts.

This movie is full of cheese....its absolutely delicious.

Starring JCVD and Kowloon Walled City

Fun 80's action flick but the acting is definitely not going to win any awards

I'm pretty sure I've caught Bloodsport dozens of time on cable and I have to admit, it's kind of compelling. Truly the height of Van Damme's split kick of a career.

Classic Van Damme!

Probably his best film, which doesn't mean much, I know...but I usually watch it if I come across it while channel surfing.

This movie is ridiculous, but also remarkable. 100x better than the other Cannon martial arts films. The walled city is (was) awesome. Hong Kong looks awesome. Gold sportcoats and high-waisted trousers. Horseplay on boats! Bolo Yeung. Stan Bush ('Fight To Survive' makes his more popular 'The Touch' sound feeble by comparison). Just be careful when watching this movie alone, because Chong Li's vicious smile suddenly appearing out the train window may cause a fright, if you're sensitive.

The fight scenes were good, but everything else was pretty cringey because the acting was so bad. This isn't great, but it is a lot of fun.

(2nd watch) Awful acting, cheesy 80s music, cheesy montage, absurd plot and so over the top it's insane; this film has it all. God, I hate how much I like this movie.

Van Damme FTW

What's taking so long captain.

Grossartiger Kampfsport. Klassischer JCVD!

The best Van Damme movie ever! I can go toe to toe with anyone on this movie.
