Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

"Bloodsport" is where it all began for Jean-Claude Van Damme's movie career. There are several styles of martial arts on display during the course of the film.
The person who JCVD is playing - Frank Dux - is allegedly a fraud. He can't prove that he set all of those records during his so called distinctive career advice a martial artist.
It's great to see Bolo Yeung in action again and playing a ruthless competitor during the martial arts tournament.

Movie Review: "Bloodsport" (1988)An highly-trained as disciplined actor by the name of Jean-Claude Van Damme, at the age 27, leads this 85-Minute-Cut of an low-budget 1.1 Million-Dollar action-movie released primarily in South Korea on VHS video in January 1988 before "Bloodsport" directed by Newt Arnold (1922-2000), known for being second unit director for Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather: Part 2" (1974) starring Al Pacino and Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" (1982) starring Harrison Ford, gets a chance to be domestically released on the U.S. market to find a niche target audience apart from megastars as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger high-end Hollywood production splendors.This Martial Arts gem takes his time with precisely-chosen production design from mentor trainings fearturing Roy Chiao (1927-1999) and short-lived first appearance of Academy-Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker; all in favor of main character Frank Dux, an U.S. American stranded in the Hong Kong Underworld of Martial Art arena fighting to the death, when nemesis character portrayed by Bolo Yeung, already world-famous for confronting Bruce Lee (1940-1973) in "Enter The Dragon" (1973), comes an exceptionally-emotional shot 10-minute-showdown fight scene with title-given intensity between Van Damme vs. Yeung that after 30 years on the the video market it is still a must-see of full-frontal martial arts filmmaking exposure.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

I saw this movie first in 2001 December. On HBO, During those days this movie was HBO's Favorite movie. This movies offers u lots of good things like student teacher relationship, Friendship, Love, dedication to achieve goal and lots of other good things. And bonus point its star cast was also perfect fit. Every star did a good job. If u want a 80's action flick for a Sunday evening movie this one would b a great choice. The fighters shown in the movie also did a great job. And its antagonist is also a tough to defeat for our hero to achieve his goal. I guarantee u will not lose u r 1hr 30min behind this movie. It is a worth watching movie.

First saw this in the late 80s on a rented VHS. Was completely blown away. Revisited it recently on a dvd which i own. This film has top martial-arts sequences. The story is true and nice. Bloodsport is one of the best martial-arts film. Became a huge fan of JCVD after seeing this flick. Saw this gr8 martial art flick umpteenth number of times. So many times on hbo, zstudio n DVD. Amazing soundtrack, especially the song I will fight to survive. This movie is still an enjoyable view after so many years. A must for any martial art fan. Pay attention to JCVDs trademark 360 Split Hook Kick. Jus awesome man.
