	Bloodsport (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Bloodsport established Van Damme as a bankable action star and it was also one of the best martial arts films shot in the era of Rocky and Schwarzenegger.
		film through numerous kung fu classics and easily stood out from the masses thanks to his unusually well-muscled physique which was not the norm in the ‘70s.
		Though Bloodsport ends with a loving tribute to Frank Dux and his accomplishments, the film should not be taken too seriously on any level, especially when his action choreography is neither as realistic or as gripping as it could have been.

		This time it stars actor daniel bernhardt who plays alex a theif who is imprisoned for stealing an ancient sword while in prison alex is taught the deadliest martial art known as the iron hand which alex then puts to use in a fighting competion.
		Overall, this is a good film with some excellent action but everything about the film seems to be rushed no sooner as he's gone in prison he's fighting in the kumite.

		The first Bloodsport will always be the best of the series, and probably remains as one of the best martial art movies of all time.
		Bloodsport 2 does not have the classic feel that Bloodsport has, nor does Daniel Bernhardt fill Van Damme's shoes, and the villain Demon (played by Ong Soon Han) does not come close to the on-screen presence of Bolo Yeung.
		The story to Bloodsport 2 is nothing to write home about, but as far as fights, the beginning to the end of his film has nothing but continuous fights (both in and out of the tournament).

		Bloodsport also marks Van Damme's first role as the main character in a movie.
		The story in Bloodsport is fairly original for its time and the acting is not too bad, even though half the people in this movie seem to barely speak English well (Van Damme included).
		Bloodsport can arguably be ranked right behind Enter The Drgaon as a true fight classic.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Van Damme in Bloodsport (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Bloodsport is based on the true story of Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Street Fighter), the first Westerner ever to win the Kumite.
		What makes Bloodsport stand out from most other films in the martial arts genre is that it is based on a true story, that of Frank Dux (as in “dukes”), the first Westerner ever to win the Kumite (pronounced koo-mee-tay).
		At the time Bloodsport was filmed, Van Damme was not yet the “big name” he would later become, and it shows in the fact that he seems more relaxed in this performance than in many of his later roles, as well as less self-absorbed.

		Following the previous 2 all-around excellent Bloodsports, part 3 is a sad disappointment in terms of any excitement until the last 30 minutes of the film, where it all makes up for it with some of the best fights ever.
		Bloodsport 3 has a few returning characters from the 2nd film, including the main character, Alex Cardo (Daniel Bernhardt).

		In the early part of the film where van Damme is heading for the "East Lake Hotel" in Kowloon he is seen riding on an electric tram.

		Chong Li is a student of American film, and so understands that he holds special privileges due to having the largest breasts in the cast.

		Bloodsport was and still is definatley one of the best classic martial arts movie of all time (hopefully his next movie kumite will overcome bloodsport's success and rep, and reignite his career).
		The film also brings back personal memories for me because i lived in hong kong during the same time period the movie was filmed.
		Bloodsport, was one of my favorite Van-damme movies, and I used to watch at least somewhat frequently.

		If A Bloodsport Soundtrack is not available for sale on ebay when you search you should check back every two to three days until one is placed up for sale as there really are no other outlets to find it at.
		The movies that followed the original Bloodsport did not star Van Damme and to some that were just cheap sequels seizing on the success of the original Bloodsport.
		The second Bloodsport did star Donald Gibb (Frank Dux's big friend) from the original and considering the general shortage of quality tournament style Martial Arts films, the second Bloodsport movie is generally thought to be pretty good.

	K-1 Forum - From Kumite back to Bloodsport:JCVD to do it again
		Van Damme's movie Kumite has been scrapped for Bloodsport II, Yes t there already have been sequels to BLOODSPORT, entitled BLOODSPORT 2-4, but they aren't regarded as "actual sequels" to the original, which is what the Van Damme camp probably meant when they said that they would be looking to shoot a sequel.
		First of all, the official title is "Bloodsport: New Beginning." Although JCVD likes to refer to it as "B2".
		It's not a "Tournament" film from start to finish, like the first "Bloodsport" was, but there WILL be fights -- Martial Arts fights and brutal street fights -- lots of them, throughout the film.

		lol...im just saying that in bloodsport, the fight scenes were so rigid and lame and so obviously choreographed looking (not the flowyness of any jackie chan movie, or frank martin fight scene, among others)...in blood sport it was really stationary...not a lot of effort went into making the fight scenes interesting.

	What is a Cult Film, Marvin Ta, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		There is often a cult film admiration of a certain director's films or series of director's films such as John Woo's Hong Kong action pieces, or in the case of Pulp Fiction, director Quentin Tarantino's dialogue-driven pieces.
		Cult films are usually strange, quirky, offbeat, eccentric, oddball, or surreal, with outrageous and cartoony characters or plots, garish sets and they are often considered controversial." Certainly each person will debate the merits of why some films are cult, often including something that made a connection to the movie viewer's emotions watching the film.
		I began with the question "what is a cult film?" After suggesting what is not a cult film, and defining different categories and scenes of so-called cult films, the question still remains unanswered.

		Bloodsport is by the far the best film in the Cannon Group´s vast action movie portfolio.
		We are treated to the powerful and evil Chong Li (the villain), Janice (fearless reporter and love interest), and most of all the awesome Ray Jackson, the protagonist´s sidekick and most eccentric fighter to have ever participated in the Kumite.
		While some of them were overplayed for the sake of film, many of these styles exist in real martial arts so it was fun to see them even if they were exaggerated a bit.

		A well-oiled Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in Bloodsport, which may be one of the few kickboxing films to be based on a true story.
		See his latest film: in hell, its a good return to his former self after many flops, (you might find it slightly similair to Lock Up with Sylvester Stallone, only slightly, mind).
