Tape up your knuckles and prepare for a roundhouse kick of nostalgia as we dive into the final episode of our Jean-Claude Van Damme marathon with the most iconic double feature: Bloodsport (1988, dir. Newt Arnold) and Kickboxer (1989, dir. Mark DiSalle & David Worth).We're talking Frank Dux's (Van Damme) very real Kumite exploits (spoiler: they're not real), Bolo Yeung's terrifying pecs, and Michel Qissi's Tong Po licking glass like a man who's never heard of tetanus. Was Forest Whitaker secretly the best actor in Bloodsport? Why did JCVD's dance scene involve 13 hand claps and 4 splits? And most importantly—how many kids shattered their shins trying to kick trees after watching these movies? (Spoiler: too many.)Between debates on Kowloon Walled City's structural integrity (thanks, James), Frank Dux's CIA lies, and whether Dave Bautista could ever replace Tong Po, this episode is a no-holds-barred deep dive into the films that defined a generation of action cinema—and also our childhood orthopedic bills.Bonus Chaos:The Kumite Math: A 60-round tournament would require millions of fighters. Frank Dux is bad at numbers.JCVD's OnesieSuspenders: Fashion icon or spandex prisoner?Bolo Yeung's Pedestrian Beatdowns: How does one teenage Bolo Yeung strike fear in the hearts of strangers?

Der um ein sagenumwobenes Vollkontakt-Turnier rankende Film verschaffte Genreikone Jean-Claude van Damme den Durchbruch und gleichzeitig dem Kampfsport an sich einen echten Schub. Trotz offensichtlicher Schwächen im Bereich Schauspiel und Story vermag der Film noch heute Genrefans mit knackigen Kämpfen und dem eingängigen Score im typischen Stil der 1980er-Jahre zu unterhalten.

Bloodsport is a 1988 American martial arts sports action film directed by Newt Arnold and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Leah Ayres, Forest Whitaker, Donald Gibb, Roy Chiao and Bolo Yeung. The film centers on Frank Dux, a United States Army Captain and ninjitsu practitioner, who competes in an underground full-contact martial arts tournament called the Kumite in Hong Kong.
Bentornati ragazzuoli! Ma voi lo sapete cos'è il Kumitè? No? Tranquilli che ve lo spiega e ve lo mostra il prode Jean Claude in questa pellicola che al sottoscritto ha sempre appassionato. In realtà, ho sempre adorato i film sui tornei di lotta e questo non fa eccezione. Tratto dalla (presunta) storia vera del campione Frank Dux, del quale il nostro attore belga veste i panni, la pellicola di Newt Arnold non è che abbia una sceneggiatura da Oscar, ma fa il suo dovere, intrattenendo fino alla fine e regalando al pubblico ottime sequenze action, intervallate da una discreta dose di ironia. Il cattivo di Bolo Yeung è poi la ciliegina sulla torta, così come il personaggio interpretato da Donald Gibb, che tornerà anche nel dimenticabilissimo sequel.

The secret contest where the world's greatest warriors fight in a battle to the death. In this podcast, we review the Classic 80s Action flick Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Donald Gibb, Leah Ayres, Norman Burton, Forest Whitaker, Bolo Yeung, Philip Chan and directed by Newt Arnold. WARNING: There will be SPOILERS!
What can we say, we missed Mortal Kombat so much we decided to go after its dad: 1988's cult classic Bloodsport! Directed by Newt Arnold and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bloodsport is about a guy who goes to Hong Kong and fights a bunch of people. Somehow, Forest Whitaker is there. That's about it, that's all you need. The manatees do a deep dive into the history and traditions underpinning competitive martial arts and jump-tackle the darkest secrets of the MMA underground, such as how shorts make you a better fighter, why you can't just stop after learning the Dim Mak, how the UFC is this movie's fault, and why Andre The Giant should have been in this movie. And, just because we know everyone's asking, yes, there is a lengthy segment on JCVD's underwear. Don't worry, we've got you covered. Unlike JCVD's butt.

Episode 7 - Jean Claude Van Damme burst into the mainstream after the 1988 martial arts movie - Bloodsport. Directed by Newt Arnold, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Donald Gibb and Leah Ayres. The film was released in the United States on February 5, 1988. Bloodsport is based on the allegedly true story of Frank Dux, an American martial artist who fought in underground Kumite matches in Hong Kong. Van Damme plays the US Army Captain Frank Dux, who has been trained since childhood in Ninjitsu by Senzo Tanaka ( Roy Chiao). Dux has entered into an illegal underground martial arts tournament in Hong Kong called the Kumite, where he must fight for his life against some of the deadliest martial artists in the world.The film was shot on location in Hong Kong and Los Angeles. It was released to positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing over $65 million worldwide.Van Damme's performance in Bloodsport helped to launch his career as a martial arts action star. He would go on to star in other successful films such as Kickboxer (1989), Lionheart (1990), Universal Soldier (1992) and Timecop (1994). Bloodsport is considered to be one of Van Damme's best films and has garnered a cult following over the years.See below a link to the soundtrack for Bloodsporthttps://youtu.be/S7QWBbtjqygThis is the best dance scene in all of cinema. https://youtu.be/CE8XKeN0zk4

Plot:We open in an asian city scape. There is a ring that is being built and overseen. A few guys are seen training and fighting. Donald Gibb is shown training and someone tells him he could get killed if he goes to this Ku-Ma-Tae, to which he replies, "Only if you fuck up..." JCVD is shown training, and is told that the colonel wants to talk to him. He tells him he has to take a shower first. Which he uses as an excuse to bail. The Lt goes to tell the Colonel that he can't find him, and the poorly dubbed over colonel yells at him to find Dux (Dukes). Dux is shown visiting someone... There seems to be a flashback of kids breaking in to a house, peer pressuring Frank to participate, when someone comes home they bail, leaving Frank. It flashes back and forth to Dux getting kicked by a kid, looking at the sword and the man explaining, in a terrible asian accent, about the katana. We see the man explaining to Franks parents why he needs martial arts. The boys are shown sparring and Frank wants to keep fighting, but the boy doesn't, even calls him "round eye". Frank then saves the boy from getting bullied. Dux is seen talking to the man again, he seems to be mourning his son. He tries to convince him to continue training, and he explains why he can't because of the death of his first family in Nagasaki, and now his second son. Dux explains that he's worthy of being trained. Cut to Dukes being thrown around a ton. Training montage. Serving tea, blindfolded, and stops a back chop. He's shown to be tied up and stretched out, in pain (?)... until he zens out and pulls the contraption down. Silent acceptance given. Dux is kneeling and the man approaches with the katana, and gives it to him, as he lays his hand on his shoulder in approval... S:-Classic 80's movie, starting off with a montage.-That first real line of "only if you fuck up" is super 80's-If he's in the army... Is it American or French?-Dudes acting is SO wooden... Jesus-The acting... is so bad. So is the overdubbing. A dreamy transition to Dux entering Mr. Tanakas room and explains he's going to hong kong to honor him. Dux is on a bus in hong kong, when Jackson gets on and badly hits on a woman. A woman in a bar is lookin for information about the Kumate. Dux and Jackson fight each other in a video game and share some respect. Back at the Tanakas house, two agent looking men are looking for Dux. He and Jackson check into a hotel and meet Victor, their guide to Hong Kong. He takes them to the walled city. They walk down a REALLY LONG corridor, REALLY showing how crappy this city is and are allowed to enter the temple, which is what we saw in the opening of the movie. Men are practicing, and others are taking notes. When they give their paperwork, they question Duxs qualifications... Everyone gathers to watch the death touch. He breaks the bottom brick, as asked, and is allowed in, but also threatened by a fighter, "brick not hit back." The agents are in hong kong, still looking for Frank. They make arrangements with the Chinese inspector Chin to help find him. S-The guy says he feels old...and he looks the exact same from the flash backs to in the bed.-"Ok USA" guy... what the hell-The dialog is so fucking boring and predictable.-This is every "action" movie ever made The woman who was looking for info earlier is being aggressively hit on by some, what appear to be, asian/middle eastern men, when one is about to hit her, Dux stops him. Instead of fighting, he makes a bet about grabbing a coin out of his hand before he can close it. Frank wins the bet, he and the woman go for a walk. She reveals she's a reporter, and explains she wants to know more about the kumate. Frank is shown training, doing the splits between chairs, in his room, Jackson comes is confused, but talks to him anyway. They go to the kumate. They explain the rules and how the kumate works. Dux has a stare-down, and the tournament begins. Victor tells them the only way to win is knock out, submission, or throw them off the ring. The men fight and when blood is shown, Jackson tells him, "thats why they call this bloodsport." Jackson fights next. He gets kicked in the face, and takes the guy out in one hit. Chong Li is called and everyone chants his name, as he's the reigning champion. The match starts, and he easily defeats the opponent, setting a new world record, 14 seconds. Dux turn comes and he's fighting the same guy who tried to hit the reporter, and tells him, "now I show you some trick or two." They fight and he defeats him even quicker than the previous fight, although he's faking and attacks again as Dux walks away. The time is displayed at 12 seconds, a new world record. Jackson excitedly shouts, "His first fight in a kumate and he broke the fucking world record." Another montage of fights, some of the guys we saw earlier on, like the guy crowing on all fours. S-Jackson is the best part of the movie-The fights are so badly choreographed, and just fake.-Everyone has stupidly overinflated pecs.-The slow mo is terrible, you can see how far they're missing. The agents are eating and inspector Chin tells them where they can find Dux, who they find. They threaten to shock Dux, and Jackson tackles them, letting Dux escape. Now a chasing montage through the streets and water, which the agents fall in. Dux and the reporter, Janice, are having a romantic dinner; she wants access to the kumate, and she kinda black mails him dropping that the agents, Helmer and Rollins, are asking all over Hong Kong about him... and although she wants to get to the kumate, she really wants to, "get to know him since they have all night." Gratuitous ass shot of Dux, with sappy 80's sit com moral lesson music, as they say good bye, and he tells her he can't help get her in the kumate. He arrives and finds Janice already they're all dressed up, "undercover." The fights start, mui tai guy wins, Dux wins. Li looks unstoppable. He sadistically breaks his opponents leg. Dux and Li defeat another opponent. The on all fours dude loses to the big dude, who Dux fights next, and defeats with the splits and upper cut to the crotch. Jackson goes against Li, which he celebrates winning too soon, Li ends up defeating him, making you think he killed Jackson; taunting Dux with his headband. At the hospital, Jackson is alive, Dux and Janice argue, and Victor tries to refocus him. Janice goes to the inspector... Frank has a very emotional bus ride about letting a friend down, having visions of Li, and Tanaka. S-"I aint your pal, dickface."-The dialog and music is so fucking terrible-Again, the fight choreography is terrible..-Learned the agents names when JCVD has dinner with the reporter.-At the hospital is the first time i remember hearing the reporter/Janices name Dux is heading to the final day when agents, inspector, and some cops try and stop him, which they don't. He shows up late, and somehow the agents and reporter get in with no issues. Dux starts against Mui Tai guy, they trade blows, probably his hardest fight yet and wins. Li kills his opponent... Everyone turns their back, and he threatens Dux, "you are next"... It's called for Dux and Li to fight; they're in shorts now, Dux also isn't wearing his ghe. Li has something put in his waistband. He tells Dux, "you break my record, now I break you, like your friend" pointing to Jacksons headband. The fight begins, and they trade blows. Even the agents are in for Dux; when Li takes the tablet out of his pocket, crushes it and throws it in Duxs eyes; blinding him. Li gets the upper hand and is toying with Dux. He screams... and finds his zen to dramatic synth music. Catches Lis hand, kicks and throws him. He comes back, kicking Li and submitting him, taking back Jacksons headband. He is shown receiving a katana, which he dedicates to Tanaka. Jackson is shown back to his old self, drinking beer in the hospital. They have a bonding moment, Dux tells him he loves him, and kisses him; Jackson says "me too." Agents are waiting on him, but he's already on the plane. Dux sees Janice, they salute each other and freeze frame to music and text: "End Credits: This motion picture is based upon true events in the life of Frank W. Dux. From 1975 to 1980 Frank W. Dux fought 329 matches. He retired undefeated as the World Heavy Weight Full Contact Kumite Champion. Mr. Dux still holds four world records: Fastest Knockout - 3.2 seconds Fastest Punch with a Knockout - .42 seconds Fastest Kick with a Knockout - 72 mph Most Consecutive Knockouts in a Single Tournament - 56 Subsequently Mr. Dux founded the first American Ninjitsu System. Dux-Ryu. S-Those agents gave up pretty quickly.-The hitting sound effects... Like a whip-Janice said she didn't want to watch Dux fight, maybe die... But then she's there anyway?-Is it weird Li looks like he screams, but no sound. His only line is so bad/fake/voice over-If you're going to cheat, why not put whatever it is down your own pants?-That "blind" acting... award winning.-How many spinning jump kicks before you get stopped...?Webpage: https://theguysreview.simplecast.comEM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPodTwitter: @The_GuysReviewFB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/

In which the three wise men from the mountain and the culture hero come down to discuss the film, _Bloodsport_ for the beleaguered people. Released in 1988, the film was directed by Newt Arnold and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Donald Gibb, Leah Aryes, Norman Burton, Forest Whitaker, Bolo Yeung, and many others. It was produced by the Cannon Group and was filmed in Hong Kong.
There was absolutely no way we were going to cover karate movies and not have a JCVD feature. If you haven’t noticed, we are HUUUUGE JCVD fans and in reality we could probably make an entire season just about his movies. The hardest part was only choosing one for this season (okay, I know we already had him in a movie, but that didn’t count). Melissa and Dom have just finished moving across the country, but that didn’t stop us from sitting down to record this one. Dom and John have to have most of the movie re-explained my Melissa, who is the supreme JCVD expert. Seriously, she worships the man (and his goofy YouTube videos). We have so much fun with Bloodsport, allowing us to go deeper and learn more about one of our favorite movies of all time. This doesn’t even include our stan-ing for the ultimate soundtrack performer Stan Bush.

In 1988 director Newt Arnold brought us Bloodsport, a movie based on the “totally real” events of Frank Dux’s life, allegedly… Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, and somehow Forest Whitaker, Bloodsport tells us the story of a young and mentally challenged white kid, Frank Dux, who is brought in to a Japanese household to act as a training dummy for the Tanaka clan’s son. However, it turns out that kid is a dud that has a date with a fatal accident, so Dux steps in to train and represent the Tanaka clan in the Kumite (like in the song). Frank goes to the tournament despite the military trying to stop him, possibly because he’s a time cop, and is pursued throughout Hong Kong as they attempt to arrest him and bring him home. At the tournament, Frank befriends Booger from Revenge of the Nerds and a reporter who is desperately trying to get a look at Frank’s ass, and an invite to cover the tournament. Booger gets his head stomped in by the defending champion, a Korean beast with terrifyingly huge pectoral muscles, Chong Li, played by Bolo Yeung. Dux is left to clear the field and avenge Booger against Chong Li. Bloodsport features some amazing (?) original music and some exciting martial arts matches (also ?), assuming you’ve never heard music or seen real combat sports before. Bloodsport made an amazing $65 million on a $2 million budget and was a cultural sensation across the world, launching JCVD’s career and resulting in at least a few dozen bad action movies. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss ripped taints, huge man tits, and ball punch knockouts, as we see if Bloodsport can register the fastest knockout of any doubters, or if the story of the Kumite is deserving of the Dim Mak and the boys scream Matte and tap out of this ridiculous “story”.

While we're at it, we should mention that every 10th episode of 'Double Impact' will look at a Jean-Claude Van Dam movie in chronological order. This being the first, we explore some big questions like, where did Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg came from? How did he get this movie? What's the deal with the real Frank Dux? Why is Steven Seagal such a d*ck? We even breaking out our patented 'how Van Dam is this movie?' evaluation test. #science

Seguimos con cine ochentero esta vez echando la vista atrás a una de las películas de artes marciales más recordadas de nuestros añejos videoclubs: 'Bloodsport', conocida aquí como 'Contacto Sangriento'. Hagamos una visita imaginaria a Hong Kong para participar el torneo de artes marciales clandestino llamado Kumite, una receta que cocinó la Cannon y que dirigió Newt Arnold en el filme que probablemente acabó de cimentar la carrera de Jean-Claude Van Damme. ¿Es 'Contacto Sangriento' una película seminal en el cine de artes marciales? ¿Ha envejecido bien? Contestamos a esas y otras preguntas en ocasiones con algo de humor en compañía como siempre de Sergio "Vintage" y Alfonso "Ryo". Seguimos contando con el bueno de Oriol Minguet como invitado especial en este programa, os recordamos que es ayudante de montador de filmes como 'Incidencias', 'Summer Camp' u 'Orson West', entre otros trabajos. Esperamos que os gusten nuestros contenidos y no acabéis a tortas con nosotros!!
