Best Martial Arts Movie Intros EVER! - Bloodsport - 1988 - Bolo Yeung

[@udtfrogman7169]

I remember getting so psyched as a kid whenever I saw this opening scene on TV. I knew it was about to be a good hour and a half.

[@flimingjustforfun6814]

Me too.

[@genaroayala8100]

What about now?

[@epicduelqueen]

@@genaroayala8100 I just watched it again couple days ago, watched it about 25 years ago with my dad for the first time. He doesn't wanna watch it anymore so I watched by myself. It still has the same effect on me as back then, I still think it's the best fighting movie ever.

[@diocletian607]

Yep

[@blockmasterscott]

@@epicduelqueen Same, after all these decades after seeing it in the theater, I still get pumped up. And the soundtrack! KUMITE KUMITE KUMITE!

[@bmillerdrums]

Best martial arts movie of all time. Being 9/10 years old at a sleep over with 4 crazy young friends and getting popcorn and snacks and trying to re enact the moves. Just such a cool experience of being inexperienced. Youth is such an amazing thing bc watching movies like this in an environment like I described its like a trip for a kid. You get so immersed into this film its like you are living it. Man I wouldn't change my childhood for anything.

[@grodmigwell481]

Greatttt

[@deg6788]

Amen bro ...same for me

[@NetherworldDesigns]

The goosebumps I get with this intro man...and It's honestly mainly thanks to the song, it gives it so much life, and essence, don't think they would be a more perfect song tbh.

[@evieraotacon]

35 years later still holds up. ✊👊

[@carlosmurcia93]

This movie is what made me go into Tae Kwon Do when I was 7🥋 20 years later, I still practice, and I still watch this masterpiece! One of the best JCVD movies in my opinion alongside Kickboxer ✌🏼

[@domoetker3967]

[@iamdevilboy5976]

I seen Bloodsport so many times on VHS 📼 DVD 📀 and Blu-Ray, I never get tired of this film. Chong Li Breaking the ice 🧊 was one my favorite scenes, the look of intensity on his face.

[@jadiskidimbu]

The best movie of all time!!! One of my childhood memories that I will never forget.

[@jaydeepraut5374]

Same here.

[@daerob1]

Same!

Greatest intro ever…..hope to meet Paul Hertzog in the flesh, because he’s a musical genius

[@HaoPK]

Why hasn't anybody commented this video. This movie is one of the best movies ever. Cult classic

[@growkit]

I like when Bolo crush the ice.

[@akinadownhillace]

Very good, but ice no hit back!

He wouldn't be impressed by Daniel LaRusso breaking 6 slabs of ice with his hand.

[@TheRampagingGallowglass75]

Although a great movie & beloved martial arts classic the presence of an evil Bolo made it that much better & enjoyable. Van Damme was also magnificent. Fantastic 80s cult favorite!

[@roberti.harbin1117]

I was young when bloodsport came on. it's something, my late brother enjoyed together.

[@roberti.harbin1117]

it was after he died

[@cbanuelas]

I've seen this movie about 30 times, and now because of you Im gonna watch it one more time. Thanks!

[@brunolima7402]

This movie marked me as a kid. Saw this movie dozens of times and was always pumped with this intro.

[@brianallan9841]

Fun fact: the guy at 2:07 who tells Jackson "I heard you can killed at that kumite?" Is Mark DiSalle, the producer of the film.

[@deg6788]

Yes

[@cryptolord9826]

Legend

[@johncooney93]

I believe hes the same guy at the beginning of Kickboxer as well. Talking to Eric Sloan "kickboxing was invented there and they're the best at it"

[@KGBeast.]

@@johncooney93 yes he is and he was one of the directors of Kickboxer along with David Worth who also worked on Bloodsport

[@JoseDeJesusMejia-dh4wb]

All of this time I thought he was actually the real frank dux

[@dustyomeara5070]

The butler at 1:10 looks like he's been in love with that guy for years, but doesn't have the heart to tell him.

[@ricardoblikman2676]

Hahahah in all the years i watched that movie it had never occurred to me! But you are right he is most likely in love.

[@CockneyEastwood]

Yoooooooooo 🤣 William Smithers Over Here

[@Nitram_6123]

😂😂😂

[@2amendmentrulz656]

He must have been heart broken when Chong Li mercs his guy at the kumite.

[@diocletian607]

Geese Howard

[@Disciple0fMetal]

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite films. It's kind of a shame it wasn't a bit longer. The score is just perfect. It's almost time to watch it again.

[@bravosix8166]

I was 8 when I repeatedly watched this movie. Other than the fights, I began to be enamoured with this place called "Hong Kong", especially with that meditation scene overlooking the skyline. Many years later I went with the wife (who's from HK!) and my little childhood spark just lit up when I saw the skyline at Victoria Peak.

[@stevenjon1347]

That's awesome mate. I watched the movie for the first time when I was eight (1988) too after my Dad's friend bought it and let me watch it. From an eight year old's perspective, Asia was a magical place where everybody was enamoured with martial arts, disciplined and honourable. I moved there in my early twenties (S. Korea) learnt the language and studied Taekwondo. I think this movie was an incredible gateway for kids in developing a fascination with martial arts and other countries/cultures.

[@bravosix8166]

@@stevenjon1347 you said. There are many after - esp Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but this one still holds a special place in my heart.

[@zeus5298]

The way the sound of the drums breakdown and then it cuts to chongli with the slow motion and sound of the ice breaking always used to give me goosebumps as a kid. Just got a new tv and this will be my first 4k purchase, great to support the release.

[@holden6104]

Love how the music crescendos and then trails out with that ratty janitor sweeping the stage. This movie was flawless.
