"Have you made a choice, sir? Perhaps this finely aged Ozu, or a Herzog? We still have those Fellinis set aside for you". I cough awkwardly. "Not today Pierre, I'll be having a Beefcake Special with extra cheese, please." The waiter fails to hide his disappointment and returns moments later with Bloodsport. I consume it with glee, smacking loudly as I giggle through all the tropes and bad lines. "Ohh man, you should try this flashback-during-the-final-battle. So good!"

Irrefutable proof that Forest Whitaker got his trademark droopy right eye after being punched (splits-style) in the gonads by JCVD. And for those of you who don't believe that, I have ten words for you: kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite kumite.

As the first notable Van Damme movie, and the one that brought him to stardom (if you can really consider him a super star) it's not particularly special. Among children of the 70's and 80's "Bloodsport" is required viewing, but when compared with modern day contemporaries, it's sorely lacking.

Laughably bad acting to the point where I thought childhood Frank Dux during the flashback was mentally disabled. The music is passable which, to be fair, is pretty good considering it's from the 80's. The fight scenes are severely dated at this point and are jam-packed with awkward slo-mo. Include a really odd "I love you man," then a kiss, between two guys for good measure and you've got a movie that's entertaining. Not good but entertaining.

The cruelest thing in this was pitting Forest Whitaker and a 65 year-old man in a chase scene against Mr. Leg Day himself. Just brutal. The soundtrack is pretty catchy and the trippy scenes going through the narrow alleys of Hong Kong effectively shroud the secret torch-lit arena in, well, secrecy. Overall it needed more rosy-cheeked JCVD glamour shots and Bolo Yeung pec flexes.

I don't know if I'm reviewing Kickboxer or Bloodsport. I've mashed both films together in my mind named Kicksport. Either way, its Van Damm kicking, punching, yelling in slow motion, and doing impossible splits. One of the lower-tiered action movies from the 80s but still enjoyable and one of JCVD's best movies. Or maybe I'm thinking of Kickboxer. Shrug.

Let's face it. Van Damme isn't an actor, he's a roundhouse-kick cheese-ball. And in 'Bloodsport' he does exactly what he does best. That and childhood nostalgia keeps everything going and the movie isn't without its own charm. There are several fun contenders in the Kumite tournament, most memorable of all the extraordinarily intimidating Bolo Yeung.

Where was this movie my whole life? Sure, I can see why it's dismissed, what with its rebaked plot devices and abrasive acting... but these guys weren't hired to act. They were hired to kick ass. And that they do, with jaw-dropping action choreography and very evident, raw physicality. The rest is 80's cheese, but delivered with such naive, runamok glee I simply couldn't hate it. Far from it. JCVD just roundhouse kicked his way into my heart.

Do you remember that scene in Dumb & Dumber when Lloyd rips the Asian chef's heart out of his chest and puts it in a doggie bag? This movie is like 90 minutes of that (well, 50 minutes after you get passed the equally unintentionally hilarious exposition dump and training montages). Recommended for fans of Van Damme. Also, idiots.

One of the stupidest, most ridiculous, hyperbolic, ultra-masculine fantasies to come out of the 80s action genre, which is a pretty high bar to vault. It's also reputedly the President's favorite movie, which he apparently watches by having his son, Eric, fast forward through everything that's not the fight scenes.

Easily 3/4 of this film is just muscular dudes beating the shit out of each other. Backed by the ultimate 80s soundtrack. It's dumb and it knows it, and it works because of that. JCVD sticks to kicking people in the face and isn't burdened with the effort of acting. It has a memorable cast of "people JCVD kicks in the face". It's pulp cinema through and through and has dated well enough to become vintage cheeseball.

A great film about the need for America to overcome the wounds of WWII in our relationship with Japan, so we can combine our abilities to overcome the Chinese, who are stealing our heritage of manufacturing. For real, Bloodsport is fantastic. It is a movie that knows what it is about, and it is about fighting.

The kid who plays young JCVD is one of the worst actors of all time. Then again, JVCD himself is pretty bad at the whole acting business, too. It's kind of entertaining at times, especially in that shlocky 80s way, but it doesn't really amount to much in the end, mostly because of the anticlimactic final fight.

I should give it 20 more marks just for the soundtrack. This is classic stuff and a film that everyone with a soul needs to watch. The fights are awesome, the cheese factor is off the charts and it's hilarious (not always for the right reasons). "Flashback Frank" and his legendary acting is the stuff of legend. This is vintage Van Damme before someone lost a dare and told him he was a good actor.

When UFC first came out, everyone talked about it on the schoolyard as if it were this film. I thought people were dying in the octagon.

Moronic machismo: international style. The score is mostly for nostalgia as it evokes pleasant memories of action film/fighting game marathons during my misbegotten youth. Based on the life of Frank Dux, you don't have to be a martial arts aficionado to know that serious creative liberties were taken. JCVD's screen persona was not fully developed yet--he resembles a choir boy on roids--while Gibb is still clearly playing Ogre. Fight scenes aren't bad, but they aren't top shelf.

Bloodsport was one of my favourite childhood films and although it's nothing spectacular by today's standards, as a 10 year old I was wowed. This is definitely Van Damme's best film and it showcased him as a true action hero. Bolo Yeung is awesome, I loved his character Chong Li as a kid. There's no doubting that the acting is woeful and the script is just as bad. But the fight scenes are brilliant and excite still. Decent soundtrack also. Can't wait to watch this with my kids. Pure nostalgia.

The movie does have a thin story but who says that there should be deep story about the fighter or the tournament? This is about becoming the best there is and that's what the movie is delivering. Van Damme does his part well and Bolo Yeung is the perfect bad guy. The movie shows many different fighting genres and the fighting scenes are brutal. Best fighting movie that there is.

Without a doubt Jean Claude Van Damme's best film as he does way more fighting than talking...as he should.Van Damme enters a dangerous, prestigious but clandestine full contact martial arts tournament pitted against the best in the world.With an eclectic range of fighters and loads of footage of fighting time, this is quite entertaining.Memorable moment is when Van Damme delivers his own 'hand slap' to E Honda lookalike that has him begging for mercy.A must for fighting fans.

"Entertaining" for its time and it's the movie that made Van Damme into a household name. The problem is it has aged terribly and has some pretty campy acting at that. The fight scenes are also pretty poorly choreographed and shows how physically limited Van Damme really is. What makes Bloodsport interesting at all is some of the campy macho posturing and ludicrous scenes that are memorable if you saw this as a kid.

Though Van Damme had been in films before this, Bloodsport was what first gave the world a look a the man who would, for a brief time, be one of the bigger action stars around. Yes it's cheesy, and the acting is all over the top. But the fighting is good, and it seems like everyone is really enjoying themselves playing their rolls. All in all, if you're looking for a good action movie with good karate, give Bloodsport a try to see Van Damme in his prime. Bolo Yeung of Enter the Dragon co-stars.

"You break my record! Now I break you! Like I break your friend!" Poor Ogre, he never stood a chance against Chon Li. Now, Brussels Beefcake is going to make him pay. I dont know which was hokier, the attempt at a storyline (runaway army guy goes to fight in super-secret tournament) or the crowd chanting Nuk Soo Kow (or something like that) for the great "white warrior" van damme. Oddly similar to the Russians ovation for Rocky. And just as believeable. The fights were pretty good though.

JCVD again runs away from the military to take part in some illegal fighting tournament. The bouts can be interesting but are nowhere near as brutal as the title suggests, and half the time the fighters are just jumping around each other. It’s all so consistently cheesy ‘80s schock it’s almost unreal – from the shots to the script to the godawful montage music – and this is what keeps you going throughout. But by the end you’re just longing for the credits, so it’s not quite so-bad-it’s-good.

Almost perfect movie that knows what it wants to be, and goes full-tilt boogie without looking back - takes the essence of every posturing, swaggering action star of the 80s, boils it down and distills it. Gloriously goofy, and intentionally (I think) hilarious at times (note the lean-in to the absurdity of Burton even managing to *keep up* with Van Damme in the street foot race). Gibb is great fun channeling some demented Seth Rogen energy as the trusty sidekick. And what... 5 montages??!!!!

The acting is mostly bad (Donald Gibb and especially Forest Whitaker being notable exceptions) and the soundtrack cheesy, all the subplots apart from the fight scenes and the backstory are filler material, and, despite a couple of glimpses of something slightly layered, the film as a whole is not much more than an excuse to watch men fight. However, the simple premise is catchy, the action exciting and the climax a suitable pay-off; it's JCVD's breakthrough - and yes, he does the splits.

This movie is ridiculous, but also remarkable. 100x better than the other Cannon martial arts films. The walled city is (was) awesome. Hong Kong looks awesome. Gold sportcoats and high-waisted trousers. Horseplay on boats! Bolo Yeung. Stan Bush ('Fight To Survive' makes his more popular 'The Touch' sound feeble by comparison). Just be careful when watching this movie alone, because Chong Li's vicious smile suddenly appearing out the train window may cause a fright, if you're sensitive.

I'm new to this kind of movie - am I supposed to be rooting for the guy who goes for the balls and jumps onto the referee?

The fight scenes were good, but everything else was pretty cringey because the acting was so bad. This isn't great, but it is a lot of fun.

Typical JCVD film. Nice relationships. Fav scene: punching an opponent in the nads.

It's like a Mirko Crocop fight but beforehand he's struck up conversation at the bar with a "reporter" and is oblivious to the number of roofie coladas he's been slipped. I feel too much of the choreography budget was spent on Van Damme's facial expressions and they were forced to compensate with slow mo on nearly all the fighting. Also, mute the first 40min and have South Parks "montage" song on repeat.

Sucks. It's endearing enough, though, and despite being based on a bogus, fradulent backstory, it does do a decent job predicting the eventual UFC.

Fighting contest action films are all kinda the same and never that interesting, but at least since the fighting is given a clear context you don't get crazy convoluted plots and the writing isn't as important. This delivers exactly what it promises and nothing more: Exciting and varied fight scenes with JCVD. The plot surrounding is useless, and the flashback at the beginning is downright garbage, but at least the badness is contained.

Bloodsport stars ultrahuman Jean-Claude Van Damme as Frank Dux (that's DUKES), a super awesome fighter guy who leaves the army so he can compete in a super-secret underground fighting tournament in Hong Kong, known as KUMITE. He pals around with a brawny American wrestler-type, romances a blonde reporter lady, runs from military police hot on his trail, and kicks the shit out of a lot of people. And meditates while doing splits. Like, a lot. What a showoff.

Is this movie for real? Ah well, between all the awful acting and terrible cliches are some pretty exciting fight sequences.

Fun, extremely schlocky fight movie that draws you in despite the silliness. Brought down by 90% of absolutely weightless attacks.

If you're only going to watch one Van Damme film, this is the one. Some tough guy tear jerk melodrama and decent fight scenes. Don't bother with the rest as they are all darker shades of terrible.
