I definitely need to see the full reaction. This is one of my favorites of all time.
Vanessa you have the best facial expressions 😂🤣🫶
18:28 "¡Guácala! ¡No manches, wey!" Viviste algún tiempo en México o tienes amigos mexicanos, ¿verdad?
This is one of Van Damme best movies💯
My top favorite of his, without question.
Yes this is number one. Lionheart and Kickboxer after this
The "Uhhh" sound is for taking out their strength, like the sound that tennis players make too
Indeed, and you can test it yourself by strengthening the core muscles... belly, diaphram and chest. Core strength and breath control is essential for a stable foundation and controling your body weight and especially the center of gravity.
This movie is based on a true story about a guy that lied about everything.
Couldn't have said it better. Think the only real parts are his name and that he was in the military. Basically a telephone repair man from what I remember. LOL.
EDIT - And Bolo Yeung is the real life equivalent of Logan/Wolverine. LOL.
He could get a job as press secretary for Biden.
Uh just because you didn’t see his 400 wins without a loss isn’t Frank’s problem 😂
This makes me really happy seeing you react to this classic. This movie was my childhood.
Before all this CGI bs
@@time2chill121 Exactly. We need movies like these back.
To answer your question from the beginning of this video, one of the main reason people yell when they fight is it reminds them to breathe. You would be amazed how many people hold their breath when they fight so making noises is a great way of reminding yourself to expel air.
only morons yell. breathing is instinctive you dont need to be reminded lol
Like remembering to breathe when you're lifting weights 😄 ..if not then a person can fienght 😃
I never breath when lifting weights, it distracts me and takes away my concentration.
@@creaturecaldwell9858 I was out of shape for a long time, and I was holding my breath when I first started out doing pushups. Now I force my breath in and out with each rep of anything.
That is NOT the actual reason at all. The use of your vocal exhale, is not just about breathing out. Its a combination of a perfectly timed breath, synced with your bodies precision movement.. AND the precise timing of the Tightening of the Abdomen, and other Internal Muscles. The result, is a much Stronger Structure on Impact.. which can deliver a much more powerful Blow.
The think is... is that you can do a similar thing, without making as much noise. The sound of the air is still very Loud compared to normal breathing... but its far less loud than this screaming.
The fact that the real Frank Dux turned out to be a total fraud doesn't stop this movie from being awesome!
So true!
Except he’s not a total fraud.. he was a black belt, and he did have many fights.. learn before you chat..
@@VictorLugosiDefending a fraud is crazy 😂
@@nefariousmex2352He was a black belt, but not an spy who won the kumite or any tournament in China. In fact, he never was in the real army. And master Tanaka was a real master, but never teach Dux. Dux toke a lot of real information, and start lie about it
@@VictorLugosi I hear he was a triple Onyx belt . According to him
Bolo is amazing in this one :)
In double impact when during fight scene between him and Bolo again and Bolo gets put into circuit breaker OMG 😂😂😂
My childhood movie right here😃 I always liked Van Damme movies.
For all you Mortral Kombat fans Jean Claude Van Damme is the inspiration for Johnny Cage and that infamous split.
Yes... We all (old school fans) knew that back in 1993.. and enter the Drago, big trouble in little China, and other kung fu movies
Well younger people might not know, @@ZapRowsdower47 There was confusion over that Van Damme skin for Cage in MK1 the other year.
Awesome that you watched this Vanessa. Jean Claude movies are a part of my childhood and teenage years. Modern fight movies just can't capture the same feel as the 80s-90s. There's a certain campiness, cheesiness and awesomeness to them. You should definitely do more Jean Claude movies and more 80s martial arts movies in general. Definitely Chuck Norris. Some of my favorites:
Cyborg (1989)- Jean Claude kicks butt in a post apocalyptic future
Silent Rage (1982) Chuck Norris vs Michael Myers
Ninja 3 The Domination (1984)- Evil ninja possess hot woman to take vengeance on killers
Firewalker (1986) Chuck Norris as low budget Indian Jones
Nowhere to Run (1993)- Jean Claude escapes from prison and helps hot widow
This movie's soundtrack is absolutely legendary!
Definitely!
I have the soundtrack on cd, the 2021 remaster too....only looking to buy the 2007 version too, it has one song not featured on both the others. 😄
And Paul Hertzog came out of retirement to score this year's 'The last kumite'......again making a kickass soundtrack....singer Stan Bush came back too....it actually came out just a couple of weeks ago.
When Chung-Li (played by Bolo Yeung) says "bricks don't hit back" it's a call back (and a tribute I guess) to the movie "Enter the dragon" where Bolo played opposite Bruce Lee, and it was a line from Bruce Lee's character about boards, after his opponent broke one before fight to intimidate him.
That's so cool!
@@OnceUponaReaction The snorting by Chong Li is also a bow to Bruce (or expansion on his signature tick); however, while with Bruce it was subtle and smooth - Chong Li's is loud deliberate and arrogant. I always wondered is it Chong Li or Bolo who thinks so highly of himself, but after I've watched a few interviews with Bolo and saw the deference he has for Bruce..,. 🙂 I think it's a great trick - in a simple gesture Chong Li says "remember Bruce Lee? I'm more powerful!".
This came out when I was a boy. Loved seeing all the fighting arts in one film. Immediately wanted to take Muay Thai kickboxing or Karate after this movie.
Jean Claude Van Damme was a real martial artist. He competed in multiple Karate and Kickboxing competitions and the reason he can do the splits so easily is because he did ballet to become more flexible.
Yep. He's also blessed with having a hip socket type that enables a perfect 'hip turn out'. This why his kicks stand out and look so graceful. Some people just aren't blessed with this, even if they've studied ballet.
I believe his record was like 18-1 with the one loss being by disqualification because he knocked the guy out illegally
@@helicoptersrkool I don't have a hip turn out and I turned out just fine.
@@kevinerose Good for you
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
Van Damme and Bolo Yeung are real life friends.
Thank you so much for doing a reaction to this movie. This is a favorite movie of mine since my childhood. Awesome reaction 👍🏼
This is not based a true story.
Frank Dux is a real person but he's completely full of crap.
There's an aweome UA-cam video that debunks all his claims.
You mean he wasn’t recruited by the CIA and then secretly trained by ninjas in the dark martial arts?
Nah, That’s what they want you to think… 😂
Anyway, there is a website devoted to debunking guys like Dux called Bullshido.
@@arstropica And he did not knock out 50 people in one tournament which would be mathematically impossible unless the tournament lasted months if not years.
@@John_Locke_108 If Dux faced a real martial artist, the fight would be nasty, bruttish, and short. :p
And the face from Chong Li... Of corse: Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon". 😁
Of course, direct ode to Bruce....awesome that Bolo was in 'Enter the dragon', what a legend.
The "haiyaa" also know as a Kiai serves several purposes.
1, it's a way to remember to breathe. Believe it or not it's very easy to hold your breath during a fight, so yelling (an exhale) reminds the body to take a breath.
2, it actually makes punches and kicks harder. by expanding blood vessels and tensing up muscles.
3, it's intimidating, who wants to fight a yelling maniac?
4, it encourages the release of adrenaline
Actually Van Damme did ballet dance at 16 which he studied for 5 years, true fact.
The venue of the Kumete was in the Kowloon walled city. This was a patch of land in British owned Hong Kong that belonged to China. Hong Kong law and police did not apply and there was no Chinese law enforcement. It was a world of brothels, gambling dens, and the cramped sunless rooms of the displaced. But also of restaurants, grocery stores and even an elementary school. The whole place was bulldozed in the early 90s
Omg. Your hilarious! This was a joy to watch! Love the expression imitations!!!!😂
20:19 Vanessa that noise you made and your face rotfl 😂🤣
In the years following the film's release, some began to doubt Frank Dux's claims, including the producer Sheldon Lettich, who was among the first to begin investigating whether Dux's story was indeed true. What Lettich, and several others over the intervening years, found was that there is simply no evidence that the Kumite Dux described even existed, or that he ever took part in such an event. Furthermore, nobody has ever been able to verify the existence of Senzo Tanaka, Dux's alleged sensei, while his claims about his military record also cannot be proven
Even if the real Frank Dux is a serial liar, this movie is one of the best with martial arts !
It brought me SO MUCH in my personal life when I was a kid and even after, hope, inspiration, determination, humility and the value of true friendship =)
Check out the movies Blood And Bone(2009) and Enter The Dragon(1973).
Nah. Boring.
I agree about Enter The Dragon. The greatest fight film ever made
SO HAPPY THAT YOU SAW THIS MOVIE!!! My very first Van Damme Movie growing up. I recommend Kickboxer, Double Impact, Timecop, Hard Target to name a few of his best. As a kid I tried to copy him doing the splits. Didn't go so well😂😂😱😱. Really enjoyed your reaction. So happy it's getting so many views. Look forward to next reaction. Keep up the Fantastic Work.❤❤☺☺👍👍
The "Huh", sound is breath control.
You wonder why fighter make "hua..hu..ha" sounds when they throw a punch? Have you ever watched a tennis game and listen? All you hear is "huuuuuaaah" *pop* "huaa" *pop*. You exhale when you take a powerfull swing. You can test it yourself..hit a pillow as hard as you can without breathing, and then do that swing again while exhaling..no need to make a specific sound..the "hua" sound comes on its own.
This was one of the movies that was an inspiration for Mortal Kombat when you posted Fatality! Van Damme was supposed to have a game made by the guys who made MK, he rejected them at the time in the early 90's so they made their own game called Mortal Kombat with a character named Johnny Cage based off of Van Damme. Ironically now, years later he wants to play Johnny Cage but they got him back in the new MK 1 game as a skin and his voice for Johnny Cage.
Reaction was great except the annoyance of trying to mimic the noises they make. It's actually a natural thing along with the facials. Watch and listen to Bruce Lee. The greatest martial artist ever.
Lol love the face you made doing the face expressions cool movie
It's funny that she laughs at other people's facial expressions and she can never stop making faces.
They're way better at making facial expressions than me
This is a excellent movie with action from top to bottom. Jean Claude Van Damme studied ballet and it helped him to develop his incredible kicks. Bolo Yeung is incredible as yet another villain. The fight scene chorography is very realistic and the drama gives the movie muscle! Great one!
The line "BRICKS DON'T HIT BACK" also comes from any Bruce Lee movie "ENTER THE DRAGON ". The last movie that Bruce Lee made and one of his most iconic. It showed just how incredible that he really was. Bolo YEUNG was in that movie and was at the beginning of his movie and stunt man career. If you want to see some amazing martial arts you need to watch some of Bruce Lee's movies.
The worst part about the young Dux actor is his voice was dubbed in, so hes not even doing the Belgian accent. Lol
Ikr it is really bad!
I didn't know that!! Makes it even better 😂
Burst out laughing when she said," Maybe he was a cheerleader in high school"
When you snorted with your nose like Chong Li was 😂😂😂
Little known fact but one of the two alternate ending scenes has Dux being arrested after the tournament and is sentenced to life in military prison where he has to fight off inmates
Wow. That ending is DARK!
@OnceUponaReaction . 😃. I'm only joking sis .. I make fun of this movie sometimes..I like the movie and it is fun ..and I don't have anything against Van Dam only I watch this and always think of " Enter The Dragon "..Thank you love
@@creaturecaldwell9858 aaaaah jajajaja
@OnceUponaReaction . Have you watched the fan made music video " Be Like Water " ? It's only around sixty seconds long with Bruce Lee's audio commentary from an interview he did back in 1969 or close as the lyrics...the video has film clips of his movie he did with Chucm Norris ( called " Way Of The Dragon " ) .. anyway.. it has good music along with it.. you should watch it..some people have had a reaction video made on it. You'll like it. Keep up the good work loved one
Chuck Norris..not Chucm 😄
The guy in the first fight with the blue shorts and yellow sash is Mohammed Qissi, the guy who plays Tong Po in the Kickboxer alongside Van Damme.
I am writing this to help out Vanessa and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰
Lol that Michael Jordan edit killed me…. Lmfao!
And now you have to do a Reaction for Enter the Dragon 1973. The line you heard, " Brick don't hit back", was an homage to Bruce Lee who(in Enter The Dragon) said, "Boards Don't hit back". In fact Bolo Yeung, the Villain in Bloodsport, was also in Enter The Dragon. When it comes to fight films, nobody did better(including facial expressions) than Master Lee. I would also recommend Fist Of Fury 1972. 🤜HA
Complaining about the young Frank actor's acting......the whole movie is very B-grade. And it doesn't matter one bit! Because the movie is GREAT!!!!
To everybody not in the know....very recently a movie came out called 'The last kumite'.....crowdfunded, an ode to this Bloodsport and the 70's/80's movies of the like. It's filled with b-movie action stars and also a youtuber has a good role.....VikingSamurai...check out his channel where he interviews lots of action stars. So he got a role.....guy is a martial artist himself in great shape, doing the split like Jean-Claude. He did a great job and already landed another role. They even got Paul Hertzog, who did the Bloodsport/Kickboxer (and 2 other movies back in the day) music scores before becoming a teacher out of retirement to do the music for The last kumite.
That was an entertaining production. I loved the add ins you put in.
21:56 your face Vanessa lol 😂🤣
That's call retard
You have a very unique personality; definitely one of a kind. Loved the reaction. 😊
27:15 The judges turn their backs on him because by killing his opponent, he dishonoured the tournament.
Oh.
I think the slow motion and facial expressions is a homage to Enter the Dragon, which did much of the same, and honestly, I think it adds to the movie in a funny way lol.
Also, bricks don't hit back is a clear homage to Enter the Dragon when Bruce says boards don't hit back.
A little fun fact, Bolo that fights Dux in this movie is also in Enter the Dragon, but unfortunately, he didn't fight Bruce Lee in that movie.
I love this movie growing up
A fun fact at the end of the movie is to say that the maximum number of knockouts the Hero has is 56. This means that he has completed at least 56 stages of the tournament. With each stage, there are two times fewer fighters. Consequently, about 72 quadrillion fighters took part in the tournament!!! Period!
And apparently there was a guy with a radar gun in the audience to clock his kick speed record. Lol
Am I misremembering what was written at the end of the movie? I recall it being 56 knock outs during his career in the Kumite (the movie only depicts his first time fighting in the tournament, he supposedly fought and won several more). If he fought in a dozen tournaments, and each tournament was at least five rounds, he could have theoretically KO'd 50+ people over the course of a dozen tournaments (assuming that he never lost a fight).
@@Thundarr100
It says it : "Most consecutive knockouts in a SINGLE tournament")))
@@user-ve2xw1hs3h And it actually gives the number 56? I'm not doubting you, it's just been a while since I've seen the whole movie and read the list of accomplishments at the end.
@@Thundarr100 Yes it's true. Although the film evokes nostalgia, is this the most blatant lie in the entire history of cinema))
Thank you Vanessa for starting on reacting to Jean Claude Van Damme. He was my favorite right after Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Now that you're finally reacting to him, may I suggest of watching some of his more sci-fi action film. The sci-fi action films that I recommend are Cyborg, Universal Soldier, and Timecop.
please mgm don’t block this video 🥺😭🙏
Jean Claude Van Damme has a lot of good movies. My top three are Universal Soldier, Timecop, and of course Bloodsport.
:) This movie was definitely a childhood fave of mine. I watched this as a youngster and immediaetely became a fan of Jean Claude Van Damne. This movie's so much fun to watch!! xD Seeing Frank win his fights is always fun and watching his buddy Jackson win his fights or just be himself throughout the movie was always fun as well. :) lol, and of course, since I watched this as a boy I imagined myself fighting/training for the Kumite. hahahaha, fun childhood! :)
Your reaction to this was a blast to see! I love watching reactions to movies from my childhood for this reason. lol, especially when the reactor is surprised by the violence/action. :P I'm tempted to subscribe to your Patreon so I can watch the full reaction. I'll take a look at your other content and see if there are many others that interest me.
Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing more from you on here. :)
If you can't do a triple-take roundhouse kick whilst yelling "EYYAAAYYYIIIYYY!" then you are not ready for the Kumite.
Hola , 👊 Kapow!!! Show us your moves Vanessa 🤩 🐉 🎬
" Teach me I can do it" Frank Dux
A Breakthrough Cult Classic , Van Damme at he's Prime , like lighting with those kicks. This was a fan favourite we rewinded & paused alot back in the day trying to copy the different fighting styles , his signature splits are Rad , the highest number in any of his movies. I like how well the Action scenes were executed. It does have cheesy b - movie vibes & the acting leaves a lot to be desired but I don't mind its still entertaining & there's nothing like a 80s training montage. Tanaka (who was also in enter the dragon) was a great character with his backstory about the war , I really liked the scenes with frank wanting to honour his mentor by entering the tournament , it would've been even better if they fought side by side in a scene like I've seen in other martial arts movies. The blur effect with the camera was used alot back then. Your right about the flashback , the younger frank wasn't very convincing & stiff , how did he make through the audition but it is cannon films after all. Hong Kong's a great setting with its views that goes back to when Bruce Lee filmed there. When it came to the love interest with Janice , they didn't waste any time , she didn't have much of a role.Having a tournament provides a fascinating backdrop to the story , the Kowloon walled city was where the fighting took place & was rife with corruption & was one of the most densely populated places on earth.
You know who's the Bad guy is when he tastes his own blood , Chong Li was played by Bolo yeung who got his big break in enter the dragon & doesn't seem to have aged a bit. There's a throwback line " but brick not hit back " when Frank destroys the bricks , like when a opponent breaks a board in Bruce Lee's face. No matter how funny there forced faces are there's a good reason for it , it's called Kiai it's when you forcefully expell air from your lungs using your abdomen , try breathing out as fast as you can & your feel your abdomen tense up , it makes you more resistant to punches & exhaling increases your speed , it's also sometimes used to intimidate & enhance your fighting spirit.
The final showdown was awesome & didn't disappoint with the roundkicks & close ups , Chong Li mocking him after putting Ray in hospital makes kicking his ass extra satisfying , it's amazing moment when Frank's temporary blinded & his lessons from Tanaka come into play , so intense , any action in slow motion is always cool . A great triumph & feel good ending .🥋💥🥇
I wasn't sure if you were gonna be into it , I'm sure Van Damme looks & charms ha had nothing to do with it , it did pave the way along with kickboxer turning JCVD into a star , other moves to check out include Lionheart , Scfi thrillers universal soldier ( that also has Dolph Lundgren) & timecop , hard target , twin bros in double impact , sudden death fighting bad guys during a ice hockey game & romantic action drama nowhere to run with the funny restaurant scene if I recall right. I'll include some interesting trivia like always.
Muchas Gracias , I'll send around 25 soon , I'm happy your in good spirits , have a wonderful week , Cuidate Adiós Vanessa 😄 🍿🧡 🖐️

I may not be a big fan of martial arts cinema, but I have a lot of respect for Bloodsport and van Damme himself. A simple, well-shot story with great tranning and fighting scenes. This film will probably be a model for many creators of similar films for a long time.
Thank you for another reaction that makes me feel better when I'm sick. 💚
Watch this year's movie 'The last Kumite'.....direct ode to Bloodsport and these type of movies. Music score done by Paul Hertzog....who did Bloodsport/Kickboxer and quit early 90's to become a teacher.
My all time favorite tournament movie
17:19 oh Vanessa lol 😂🤣
One of my favorite movies. I saw it in the cinema. I'm old AF
you are hilarious! 😂and I love your accent
one of my fav movies ty so much for this
Bloodsport was one of only four films to have filmed scenes actually inside of the real Kowloon Walled City.
Once again a great and funny reaction! I also liked your Commando and Total Recall vids. If you like to laugh more, then watch Arnold’s The Running Man next 😄 Much love from Finland! 🇫🇮
Now just imagine them making those faces on the toilet 😂
He's a Thai fighter, also TaeKwonDo is Korean not Japanese. He took ballet also. I think thats why we are mesmerized😂
Another comment recommendation of a GREAT fight movie, that's highly underrated and has a female lead by Yanin 'Jeeja' Vismistananda' is 'Chocolate', also known as 'Zen, warrior within'. Movie is AWESOME!!!
If you like this movie I recommend to react to “Kick Boxer”
You got the best acting skills of all the reactors. I just love it. And I love you! Another great reaction from the beauty champ of the world! And I can tell you the others are only jealous of you.
Watching this was painful so worried your sweet face would freeze with each facial expression. :)
The use of a very vocal exhale, is not just about breathing out, as someone had posted. Its a combination of a perfectly timed breath, synced with your bodies precision movement.. AND the precise timing of the Tightening of the Abdomen, and other Internal Muscles. The result, is a much Stronger Structure on Impact.. which can deliver a much more powerful Blow.
The think is... is that you can do a similar thing, without making as much noise. The sound of the large volume of air movement, is still very Loud compared to normal breathing... but its far less loud than this screaming. Typically, the Chinese arts do not tend to Yell their Attacks as much... As that tends to be more of a Japanese thing. But the very deep and loud breathing, is certainly used in the Chinese arts. Im a Masterclass level fighter, trained in the Chinese arts... with 30 years of hardcore experience.
This movie is pretty Cheesy... Especially the Obsessive use of Splits. And yeah... the facial expressions are pretty funny, and often way too over-done. The martial arts in this film, are also pretty awful. The pretend hits, are so far from the mark... and so unrealistic looking... that its almost comically bad. Nothing like the more modern Hong Kong action films... which have much more realistic fighting in them (they often actually make mild physical contact in them... unlike western actors / stunt men, whom use camera tricks to try to "Sell" the fake shots).
Now... if you want an Alltime Classic Martial Arts film... I highly Suggest watching "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin". Watch the English Dub version (I often recommend the Original voices... but the Western Vocals of the lead actor (Gordon Liu), is much better, and far more Comical). It contains a much better Lead actor, whom is full of Charisma, tons of great Humor, and impressive physical feats... all combined with a fantastic Story... and an amazing view into what it may have been like, to Train in the Ancient Pre-Industrial Shaolin Temple. In addition, you also get to understand a bit more about ancient Chinese life, and culture. Now... the fighting in it isnt on the HK level either... but its far more entertaining than whats shown here. The real magic is Gordon Liu's amazing Charismatic performances, the Many Comedic moments, and getting to see how he trained + overcomes each training challenge.
Side note... that Gordon Liu, played two parts in Kill-Bill. He played A Crazy 88 Gang Member, as well as Pai Mei (The elder Chinese Master, in the 2nd film). Gordon Liu is a Martial Arts Film Legend, thats put out more movies than probably any 15 other Action stars combined. I believe he was making films, before I was even born. He was also one of the few Chinese action Stars, that had trained for many years in a real Chinese combat art, well before getting into Acting. He is also one of the rare action stars, that not only puts on excellent physical performances... but is also a fantastic actor to boot. You see.. its quite often that a real martial artist... is not a very good actor... which is why they tend to train existing Actors.. to Emulate martial arts as best as they can... instead. Gordon is one of the rare few, that can do both exceptionally well... and is usually heads and shoulders, above all the rest.
Heck, his portrayal of Pai Mei, was pretty Fantastic too. I believe that was the first time that I had ever seen him play a ruthless "bad guy". All of the other films Ive seen him in... he was always playing the "good guy". It was an interesting change.. and he pulled it off very believably.
Also, IMO... Kurt Russel makes for a Much better action actor, than Van Damn. Watch him in "Soldier" for a very powerful and emotional performance. Van Damn cant even compare to Russel's onscreen presence, and his believable.. and emotionally conveying, acting chops.
International Fighting Arts Association "IFAA" organised the Kumite with the Kokuryukai (English: Black Dragon Society). Canadian born Frank William Dux respresented the Tanaka clan with Koga Yamabushi Ninjutsu, Ninjitsu at the Kumite. Frank William Dux was the inspiration to the movie Bloodsport with Jean Claude van Damme and developed his own ninja system: Dux Ryu Ninjitsu.
The face that Jean Claude makes at 30:09 is what my face looks like whenever I miss one of your live broadcasts.

Jajajajaja... te salio del alma...
SO glad you finally got to this one LOL It's one of my favorites from that timeframe. We had NO clue it was all a load of bullshit. LOL still a damn good movie especially since Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds is in it LOL and they used to call him Van Damme The Muscles from Brussels.
Great reaction! You should watch another classic from JCVD called Kickboxer. The fighter who got his leg broken is the main villain of that movie.
Look at the views, 7000 in less than 1 day❤🎉🎉🎉. Great choice!
It's a miracle!
Oh my God love your reaction I am so happy that you know that Frank Dux was a fake but the film is fantastic and it started Forest Whitaker and Jean-Claude Van damme's career keep up the fantastic work 💯❤️🤘
20:54 the guy with the leg injury is Tong Po from Kickboxer. The guy you hate. lmao.
You have nothing to feel sorry about laughing at the faces.When I first saw the movie I laughed
You need to let air from your body doing that sounds. The worst is when you do that sound and poop in the same time when you are in state tournament :D
Likely THE best "facial expressions memes" movie of all time... 🤔😂
JCVD's 2nd film as an main castmember, both the first lead role and star-making role.
After the success, he was being called "The muscles from Brussels".
I saw Van Damme in Black Eagle and No Retreat, No Surrender before seeing Bloodsport.
This movie is indeed a classic of the genre.
Memorable story, great fight sequences and a guilty pleasure.
The original score of Paul Hertzog and the songs performed by Stan Bush are awesome.
RIP to Roy Chiao (Senzo Tanaka) and Norman Burton (Agent Helmer).
The only downside of this is the story of Frank Dux as an martial artist proved to be a hoax.
The life he lived or the so-called world records he broke as an competitor in the Kumite were unreal.
The upside was that the movie itself inspired Mortal Kombat:The Original Game (1992).
MK's creators wanted Van Damme for the game, but he turned down the offer.
So the character of Johnny Cage was made for the game as an action film star entering a 'larger than life' tournament.
In full circle, during Bloodsport's 25th anniversary, Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat One (2023)
was given a downloadable skin with the likeness and the voice of Van Damme.
The 3 'straight to video' sequels with Daniel Bernhardt were OK.
But I almost didn't bother with them at first.
Not bad and not good neither.
To me, the original is the best.
freaking funny reaction🤣
"Stop moving your chest" LOL
Still the best 80's montage.

The leading actor Jean-Claude Van-Damme was in the pre-production playing the original version of Predator with the first original Predator suit design

I'm ready to watch you reacting to Predator 2 with Danny Glover and Bill Paxton from 1990
One of his nicknames back in the day was the "Muscles from Brussels".
Really? 😂😂😂

I thought that was his only nickname.
Check out "The Perfect Weapon", for a great, yet underrated martial arts movie.

- you need to calm down on teasing this cheesy masterpiece… you watch bridgerton!! Lmao still love your reactions
Funnest reaction video to a very violent movie!
The faces ARE funny, yes 🤣🤣🤣
They're hilarious!
I love this film, but it's boring to watch it with someone analyzing it scene by scene, and to watch and enjoy the vibe, not criticize everything, I hate this generation of people nowadays!
years of ball punching went into the making of this
This is one of the few images we have of the mysterious Kowloon City who no longer exists
