We conclude this year's exciting March-ial Arts Madness run with writer/director/producer Sheldon Lettich (Bloodsport, Lionheart, Double Impact, Only the Strong), who blew us away with his stories about serving our country as a US Marine in Vietnam, being "the man behind Jean-Claude Van Damme", and his new biography, Sheldon Lettich: From Vietnam to Van Damme, written by Corey Danna (click the link to purchase). Sheldon has had a hand in countless films from the 80's and 90's, including Russkies, Rambo III, The Order, Perfect Target, The Last Patrol with Dolph Lundgren, and Only the Strong with Mark Dacascos. You will also hear about how he saved the film, Cyborg. We go deep! We discuss his first short film, "Firefight" (1986), which helped launch the careers of future notables, Brian Thompson, brothers Phillip and Simon Rhee, and the real Frank Dux (who Bloodsport is based on). The film has been remastered and can be watched for free over on Viking Samurai's YouTube channel. And speaking of Frank Dux, while it is now common knowledge that he was a fraud and most of Bloodsport was a lie, you will definitely want to hear Sheldon's take on the real Frank. Sheldon also announces that a Special Edition Blu-ray of Bloodsport is coming out soon!

Sorry gang. Technical problems. Please enjoy this gem from the archives

Get ready to go down the rabbit hole of 80's action cinema. I sat with an iconic 80s & 90s action film director, writer, and producer this week - Sheldon Lettich who brought to our screens some epic actors and fighters like Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone. He's the trailblazing director and writer of Lionheart (1990), Bloodsport (1988), Rambo III (1988), and the Cold War drama, Russkies that first introduced us to the phenomenon that is Joaquin Phoenix. An Ex-French Soldier begins participating in underground street fights in order to make money for his brother's family. Lettich's experience as a Vietnam veteran has inspired much of his films and plays throughout his career. Paired with his academic background in photography and cinematography, he bulldozed the action film scene with other classics like The Order, Double Impact, and The Last Patrol.Between 1983 to 1987, Lettich wrote and directed a couple of short films that did not pick up as much. The following year, he wrote the martial arts classic, Bloodsport - inspired by tall tales from Frank Dux, from which Lettich became a famous name in Hollywood. The film also launched Jean-Claude's career, the star of Bloodsport who played Frank Dux, an American martial artist serving in the military, who decides to leave the army to compete in a martial arts tournament in Hong Kong where fights to the death can occur.If you love Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat then you have Sheldon to thank. Bloodsport was the first time you have multiple fighters, from around the world, with unique styles fighting in a tournament.The commercial success of Bloodsport, which grossed $50 million on a $2.3 million budget catalyst more trailblazing films. Lettich signed an overall deal immediately with White Eagle Productions that led to his collaboration, co-writing Rambo III alongside Sylvester Stallone in 1988. The movie was a HIT for the Box office. It outperformed his previous project, grossing $189 million on its $63 million budget. One thing I discovered speaking to Sheldon is that Bloodsport was NOT A TRUE STORY. The person that the film was based on, Frank Dux, was apparently a brilliant storyteller. There were lawsuits, books written, just an absolute mess. Either way, the film is a masterpiece of 80's action cinema.Another classic in Sheldon's canon was the highly anticipated sequel, Rambo III starring Sylvester Stallone. Rambo mounts a one-man mission to rescue his friend Colonel Trautman from the clutches of the formidable invading Soviet forces in Afghanistan.Lettich reunited with his friend, Jean-Claude in 1990 for the fan-favorite, Lionheart. This time directing and as a co-writer. He approached the project to allow Jean-Claude to display versatility, compassion, and rises beyond the "Karate Guy", now that he had become a household name. The film made $24.3 million on a $6million budget and became popular amongst his films.The two, Lettich and Van Damme, immediately followed up with their third of several collaborations, Double Impact in 1991 with Jean-Claude playing a set of twin brothers who were separated when their parents were murdered but 25 years later they re-unite in order to avenge their parents' death.Like their initial projects, this one too became a critical and commercial hit.It was a nostalgic thrill chatting with Sheldon about these movies that are part of the beautiful tapestry that is 80's action cinema.Enjoy this throwback entertaining conversation with Sheldon Lettich.

The Order has all the ingredients to make the special sauce of a great Van Damme movie: directed by JCVD veteran Sheldon Lettich, cameos by Charlton Heston, Brian Thompson and Abdel Qissi, a great cast and religious intrigue! How could it go wrong? Well it does my friends. This film is so bad in fact that it takes the mantle for worst film ever reviewed by this podcast. However the brothers manage to make a short and sweet entertaining romp reviewing this garbage. The brothers marvel at the few redeeming qualities of this film like the great performance by Sofia Milos. It's pretty shit otherwise.

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.

050 - This is a milestone episode, guys. 50 episodes in the can, 2 Van Dammes in the one movie, and the film's title is the namesake of this very podcast - it's 1991's DOUBLE IMPACT. You know how this works, every 10th episode is a JCVD vehicle that we evaluate against our patented universal JCVD authenticity test. Of course we also dive into this films origin story, and uncover a HUGE bit of Van Damme lore that, up until now, seems to have gone largely unnoticed (and it involves one of Hollywood's biggest starts of all time). Anyways, join us for this milestone episode, dedicated to JCVD's milestone movie.

On this week's episode, the gang gets double vision talking about the stupid, but entertaining JCVD action fest, Double Impact! How was this split screen technology considered passable? What's with the silk underwear? And did we really need that fantasy sex scene? PLUS: Mario had his reasons for wanting to take Donkey Kong's life back in the '80s.Double Impact stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Geoffrey Lewis, Alonna Shaw, and Bolo Yeung; directed by Sheldon Lettich.

030 - A big change of pace this week as we delve back into the world of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Why? Because every 10th episode of this very podcast will be dedicated to ‘the muscles from Brussels’, so just get on board. This movie is an interesting one, and goes by many names - Lionheart, Wrong Bet, AWOL, Full Contact, Lyon - but can you call it a classic? This next chapter in our ongoing JCVD saga explores the star’s more serious acting aspirations, his tendency toward bromantic themes, and we explore his place within the broader latpack ecosystem.

Exploring the 1990 action movie LIONHEART. Joining us is Sheldon Lettich (the writer & director) & Jeff Langton (Cynthia's Fighter "Sonny"). We discuss everything from casting choices, the various interesting fight venues, how filmmaking differs today and more!  

On this month's episode, we're taking a look back at 2000's The Last Patrol (also known as The Last Warrior for its American release)!  In this post-apocalyptic-esque story, Dolph Lundgren plays Nick Preston, a military captain who leads a small group of survivors across a California wasteland in the aftermath of a cataclysmic earthquake!  Joining me to discuss this film is David Rosen, host of the Piecing It Together podcast!  How exactly does an earthquake turn the state of California into a desert (one that looks oddly like Israel)?  Could Lundgren's band of survivors be one of the oddest teams ever assembled on film?  In what ways were Lundgren and director Sheldon Lettich hampered by the film's meager budget?  And what exactly was the husband-wife writing/producing team going for when they conceptualized the screenplay?  Join David and I as we embark on The Last Patrol! Major thanks to director, Sheldon Lettich for taking the time to answer my questions!  Also, thanks to David Rosen for joining me.  Please check out his movie review podcast, Piecing It Together: https://www.piecingpod.com, as well as his website: https://www.bydavidrosen.com, and Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/musicbydavidrosen!

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
