Bloodsport Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Newt Arnold
Genres: Action
Rating:
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the aptly titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van_Damme becomes involved in the Kumite (also spelled Kumatai), a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world-a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death (or near-death) between Van_Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo_Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank_Dux (who serves as the film's fight coordinator). Denied such niceties as production values, Bloodsport scores big-time in the violent action department. A sequel followed in 1995, inventively titled Bloodsport_2. Hal Erickson, Rovi
