Film: Bloodsport (1988)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Bloodsport

"That hurts me just lookin' at it. Yo, Frankie! You'd better stop doing that stuff. You might want to have kids one of these days."

Review: This is Jean-Claude's first film and one of his best. It is a simple story of the first westerner, Frank Dux, to win the full contact martial-arts Kumite Tournament in Hong Kong. It has entertaining fights and Donald Gibb brings good comic relief as fellow fight competitor, Ray Jackson.

"That's why they call this thing 'Bloodsport', kid."

"Chong Li's weak in the gut. That's how Parades surprised him... Hey! You listening to me? Go for the stomach. And stay away from his right leg."
"Will you stop worrying, Frankie? I've got it under control. You sound like my mother. Man alive."

4 out of 5 Stars
