What is the action movie about and why is it worth watching?
The story is based on the (later disputed) life story of US Captain Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), who has been trained since childhood by ninjitsu master Senzo Tanaka (Roy Chiao) along with his son Shingo (Sean Ward). When Senzo is dying, Frank wants him with the Participation in the Kumite martial arts tournament honor and then leaves the army to travel to Hong Kong.
in the before the tournament Frank meets boxer Ray Jackson (Donald Gibb) and reporter Janice Kent (Leah Ayres). While Ray competes himself, Janice wants to cover the kumite, but they quickly realize that a brutal competition to the death awaits them. Frank soon faces a new problem as he is being pursued by two government agents, Helmer (Norman Burton) and Rawlins (Forest Whitaker).
Bloodsport emerged from the cult forge Cannon Films, which produced some classics of the 80s. The martial arts film, however, is one of their best creations, thanks to its first-class casting, the crisp tournament story and the impressive fight interludes in which extreme emotionality and the torture of muscles and bones go hand in hand. As a martial arts star, Jean-Claude Van Damme had few better vehicles than Bloodsport.
