BLOODSPORT (1988) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Jean-Claude Van Damme | 80's Classics

I swear, Van Damme’s Flying Spinning kick has got to be the greatest martial arts move in film history. He did it like no other.

I was obsessed with Van Damme as a kid and I still never appreciated how ridiculous of a kick that is until rewatching it recently. Just absurd.

Back when this movie came out on video in the late 80s we rented this movie because Who Framed Roger Rabbit was all taken. Defeated I popped it in the machine anyway and was blown away. I brought it over to a friend’s house the next day raving about this and we had an awesome watch party with the whole neighborhood. Fast forward to 2024 the joy I get watching people react to this movie when they see it first the first time still hits.

No, he didn't. Because Bruce Lee wasn't the Flash. People need to stop believing every single story they read about Bruce Lee. 99% of what you read about him is made up hogwash.

The original Street Fighter didn't even make it to a major console in the US. It was on the Turbographx-16 but that had something like 1% of the marketshare in North America. It was an arcade game but I don't recall seeing it. Street Fighter 2 was THE hot arcade game of its time. We had an arcade at my school, and I still remember how we would all gather around Street Fighter 2 and watch people play. Street Fighter 2 was also a huge hit on the SNES and Sega Genesis.

[@SutekhDaSteemroller]

Ken and Ryu are based on Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee

[@daved4120]

Although the first SF1 wasn't a massive hit, for it's time there wasn't another fighting game like it, and in my opinion the game basically pioneered all modern fighting games. It introduced the 3 punches and 3 kicks of different strength and joystick inputs for special moves, so the fireball quarter circle forward, hurricane kick quarter circle back, and dragon punch motion were all there. The animation frames were accurate to actual martial arts movements, and I'll never forget the first time I fired off a fireball and heard "hadoken", I was hooked and played SF1 every chance I got until SF2 came out.

[@MasterKenobi1]

The power of movies!. I saw this movie when I was a teen, the smooth kicking skills of Van-Damme inspired me to get into Taekwondo-do, that brought a lot of discipline in my life.

The original Mortal Kombat game was largely based on Van Damme's character from this movie. Before they decided on Mortal Kombat as their game's title, Van Damme was one name among a few others that was floated around but that all depended on the developers being able to reach a deal with Van Damme himself to be the face of the game. In the end they couldn't reach a deal so they turned Van Damme's character into who we all know now as Johnny Cage.

A really great movie. Fyi "The Brick not hit back" is a Bruce Lee Pharse. Also this movie and Big Trouble in Litle Chine were the inspiration for Mortal Kombat game. Mortal Kombat was suppose to be a Van Damme game after the success of this movie. Van Damme inspired the Johnny Cage character (You see the split punch to the balls scene just like Johnny Cage). You should see other martial arts by Van Dame and others. Van Damme movies like Kickboxer , Double Impact ,Cyborg, Lion Heart, Universal Solider, TimeCop. Especially I highly recommand you see "No Retrat No Surrender" (Van Damm is the bad guy in it) which is a kind of Karate Kid movie with much better fights. The actor who plays Chung Lee played with Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon among other things

Can’t believe they cut that homage line or the No! Bottom one line

[@treadstone1138]

Hey ladies, nice reaction. This is my favorite Van Damme film. Kumite! Kumite! Kumite! Good soundtrack as well. Jean kicked so much butt. If you would like some others, I suggest Kickboxer, Lionheart, Double Impact, Hard Target, Universal Soldier, and Sudden Death to name a few. Hope you continue down his filmography. His most ridiculous yet cool role was playing Colonel Guile in Street Fighter (1994).

The Kumite may be real but all those records are fake

[@JD-df3zl]

The Kumite was fake as well

I bet Bruce Lee was faster in real life than those fake records.

I remember going to see this movie when it came out with some friends from high school. It is and will remain Jean Claude Vandamme's best film. 🏆. I still listen to the very beautiful music from the film today🧘. Thank you very much for this beautiful moment of memory 👍💐 Finally, I would like to highlight the great beauty of the woman who accompanies you in this video. 💐

As much as I adore this movie, the real Frank Dux was a fraud.

Based on a true story... LMAO 😂

That's "Karate Champ" and it was 1988- SFII was 2 years away. That was a massively successful game worldwide - compared to today, it would be on the level of Far Cry or Call of Duty. It's still great to this day. It swallowed oceans of credits the world over! 😀

One of my childhood favourites. Along with Kickboxer.
