Fun fact: This movie didn't just inspire Mortal Kombat. It was supposed to be a Blood Sport game but NetherRealm lost the rights to the movie and had to change the game. It was also inspired by Big Trouble in Little China.
It was actually inspired by a whole bunch of 70s-80s movies like The Terminator, Enter the Dragon, Zu: Warriors from magic mountain to just name a few.
@@pugggz Cynthia Rothrock still gets asked about being Sonya Blade, even though she wasn't the actual model for the character. Just the inspiration for it. Wished she actually was used for MK1.
Personally I think it is somewhat too much. We are used seeing things at a certain sharpness, not more. Also I noticed skin being too orangy at certain times, don't know if this due to the original or the enhanced film though.
My twin brother and I watched and reenacted this movie sooooo many times after school as kids, we knew every line, taking turns between JCVD and Bolo Yeung. Lol, good times.
The end of the movie leaves this ambiguous but I would love to have found out that Frank's sensei lived just long enough to find out that Frank won the Kumite before passing away. That would have been really nice.
Well not really. Frank Dux turned out to be a humongous fraud. He never competed in the Kumite. Known Martial Artists, even claims that he wasn't an Martial Artist at all. He made it all up.
i don't think it was chalk. i think it was something else crushed into a pill form. you have to remember China had opium dens for thousands of years. It could have been some kind of seed that was put in a brick n mortar then pressed into a pill that breaks up easily or a combination of chemicals mixed together. it definitely was NOT chalk in the movie.... but IRL possibly but it was so little thrown its hard to tell. people forget that china and japan had all kinds of insane inventions LONG before the West and the "industrial boom" then the "technological explosion" - i hate how they've ruined these two ancient countries... the only good part is Japan is no longer 100% isolationist and allows tourism... which I'd LOVE to go see Osaka, Okinawa, Tokyo, Kyoto, and a few other places that I can't type off the type of my head as i'd also have to switch to japanese IME and remember their japanese names for the characters to show up properly. but its certain temples, some are shinto and others are buddhist and they have the most beautiful pictures online of them with cherry blossom trees in full bloom with snow on the ground and on the trees as well as the temple. however i'd need a guide to go with me so i do NOT enter any temple the WRONG way. there's a certain way to enter particular spaces in Japan and its a VERY SERIOUS THING to the locals... simply knowing basic etiquette with chop sticks is a big thing for locals when they see americans do it because trust me, the world all believes americans are a million times dumber than they think.... and sadly, based what i've seen from the past 2.5-3 generations, they're a billion times dumber and getting to the point they're regressing to the point of illiteracy... seriously look it up.
6:00 "...it turns out the actual event is in mainland China, not Hong Kong" but it was nice to see Hong Kong's Kawloon Wall City before it was demolished
if you'd ask Bolo, you'd know the Triads had a LOT to do with how movies went in HK and China especially during that era as well as when Bruce Lee was trying to bring tourism to HK and bring a LOT of attention to martial arts in movies. But the Triads tried extort Bruce Lee and he said no, so they got a woman to poison him in her apartment and then she pretended not to know what happened. Then it happened again with Brandon Lee in The Crow when he was shot and killed with what they called a "foreign object" at the time but it was later revealed to be a lodged bullet. Bolo was something like 46 in this movie. Which is WILD because he is such a BEAST
Bolo is also almost 50 in this movie. Dude is a LEGEND in HK movies . He personally knew Bruce Lee. What's wild is I met a girl at a show and her biological dad is the literal guy in that video of Bruce Lee doing his 1 inch demonstration on the white guy in the gi? the one that's launched back in the chair in that 70p video on youtube? I've slept with that dude's biological daughter AND he was supposed to be in Bruce Lee's movie but due to his RAGING COCAINE problem he was replaced by Chuck Norris as the big final enemy. his name is Joe Lewis and no not the black american boxer. the PoS cokehead that has a chain of dojos on the east coast that abandoned his family... they're still extremely wealthy, her mom is ... not all there mentally, idk what she takes but i'm sure she still has some ludes stashed somewhere in that manshion. and her stepfather is a creep according to the stories she's told me.... i won't say but you can imagine. he was the lead singer in the band called "Nan-Tucket" which I accidentally left signed CDs that he was giving me. I forgot them cuz whatever spice they cooked on the chicken made me throw up. Her brother is also extremely weird, their whole family is messed up.... but i chalked it up to extremely wealthy people are just living in a different reality of weird. Last thing i'll say is her mom wanted to finger paint me... last time I went to see her, i was with my best friend that i consider family, we legit sat in the wrong driveway for 1hr 40min high as hell, giggling like little kids, looking at all the insanely ridiculous mansions being so insanely BIG and over-the-top... she eventually calls and asks where we are and i tell here "we've been here forever... in your driveway" she comes out and i notice we're one house over this whole time. and its not normal driveways. its NOTICEABLE when you're in the wrong driveway and i can only imagine the people in that big house trying to convince the cops they had poor people giggling in their driveway at 10pm. typically i'd hang out with her at shows or after them around midnight to 4am, hence the nickname she got "Krissy Mission" cuz every time I went to see her it was a MISSION to not get arrested, in some kind of trouble, or something going seriously wrong... i have too many stories to post .... but i just thought it was interesting how people say that nonsense of 7 degrees of Kevin bacon... i "know" Bruce Lee by 2 degrees. The Girl and her Father is 2 degrees of separation... but sadly we all know Bruce Lee died long before i was born and even sadder, his son was murdered too (both by the Triads) as they had a strangle hold on movies in China but especially in HK. Bruce Lee refused to pay their extortion fees so they had a woman poison him... then in the Crow they literally shot Brandon Lee with a "foreign object" also known as a lodged bullet...
I happen to know for fact that Frank W. Dux is for real. I too had a very interesting career in the military and CIA. It all started when I was 16 years old. Due to my martial arts prowess, I was recruited by the U.S. Navy and flew M1 Abrams tanks off carriers for them. I served in the same squadron with Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Flash Gordon (he was best man at my wedding to Miss Saigon). I even went to Top Gun School with Tom and Val and won the Trophy. My Tank racked up more kills than all the other tanks in my Squadron, combined. Later on, my Squadron CO accused me of being TOO aggressive. So I had to knock him out with a spinning Flying Squirrel kick to the balls. Needless to say, I spent some time in the brig where the guards made us prisoners fight in Kumite style Death Matches which they took bets on. The guards would host the matches and secretly bring in VIPs from high levels of govt and industry. Some of the people who watched me fight were the President of the United States, the VP, Secretary of Defense, Senators, Congressmen, Pat Sajack from Wheel of Fortune, and the manager of the Waffle House. After executing several hundred prisoners, it was determined that I was too deadly to be kept in the brig so I was transferred over to the U.S. Coast Guard where I flew B-2 Stealth Bombers because they were short pilots and bombardiers. I never needed a bombardier on my crew because I can use my Chi to guide bombs to the target with pinpoint accuracy. After single handedly destroying an entire Afghan city full of Taliban Buddhists, I was recruited by the CIA. I can't talk much about what I did for the CIA, but let's just say I have more confirmed kills than ALL OTHER CIA Agents, Army SEALs, Navy Delta Forces, Air Force Recon, and Marine Corps Para Rescue... COMBINED. Due to my amazing prowess in the field, the Director of the CIA personally selected me to become the youngest ever, and one of only 12 Pokemon trainers in the entire CIA. You gotta a catch 'em all.... that's what I did. Due to the extremely high classification of the project and need for absolute secrecy, our Base of Operations was the Psych Ward at Bethesda Naval Hospital. It was there that I became familiar with prison type/suicide watch operations. Consequently, my final classified mission was coordinating with British MI6, the Royal Family, and Hillary Clinton to help out my and Hillary's good friend Jeffrey Epstein with his assisted suicide.... Since retiring, the CIA has been nice enough to provide housing for me at the Greenview Psychiatric Hospital. Because there have been multiple attempts on my life by Russian Spetznatz, Yakuza Ninja, and Sub-Saharan Oompa-Loompa commandos; they've also provided me with a substantial guard detail while I write my memoirs. My publisher is already in negotiations with Disney and it looks like we're well on our way to my life story becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....whatever the hell that is.... Bottom line is, there are a lot of people out there who pretend to be something they're not. Everything in my life story is 100% factual. I know because I lived it. People like Dux, Steven Segal, Van Damnit, Stallone, the Power Rangers (briefly served with them too), the Teletubbies, Derek Zoolander...these are all great Patriotic Americans but at the end of the day when you compare their on or off-screen achievements to mine.... I simply make them all look like sopping wet, velvet-lined pussies.... Not bragging... Just stating fact....
Haha. You are a legit script writer. If you can write this just for fun in the youtube video comment, It's hard to imagine what you are capable of when you get a real script writer job
Hey, Ronny Reagan is still alive. He has a job for a badass ONLY like you. Cary Grant will brief you, Buck Rogers will be your wingman and John Wayne will kneel and blow you, after he bends you over his mahogany desk. All on the way to your super secret mission to save us ALL, of course!!! Don't let us down, big boy!!
Forest Whitaker in this film? @5:25 Wow the resolution looks so clear and sharp images, when in 4K. Did you enhance the video quality, or is it footage from a REMASTERED 4K bluray of the film? * Great commentary...BUT...your microphone volume is TOO LOUD. It is much louder than the film dialogue volume. Appreciate if you could keep your mic volume the same level in future. * Also, the sharpness added seems SLIGHTLY too intense. Faces in real life do NOT look that sharp. Think about it?
Wow, when I was a kid, I saw this a few times. This makes me realize I would just fast forward to the tournament haha. The young Frank and the Japanese man who trained him acting together was def hard to watch, I made a good choice as a kid!
The Kowloon Walled City was a genuine slum area in downtown Hong Kong which was officially part of Mainland China, but was not occupied by Chinese police or troops. Chong Li is played by Bolo Leung, who is Hong Kong Chinese, but the character may be supposed to be Korean- note the design on his headband. To go to all the places in Hong Kong that the agents chase Frank, they would have had to take at least two ferries. I guess they didn't arrest him on the ferry rides to make it more sporting. I think the masters turning their backs on Chong Li after he killed a man was supposed to show him dishonour as they were shocked by his action. But they didn't eliminate him from the kumite, presumably as murder wasn't actually against the rules.
Oh, that's the kumatai that I heard about! I heard from it in a Steven seagull documentary. It was mentioned, that the trainer of Steven had his license from a fony "masters club", that had many members (that do bull-shido) have in their bio that they participated in said kumatai! I can't respect anything they do, but I guess I can thank them for the Mortal Kombat series!
My enjoyment of his other famous movie KICKBOXER was badly hampered when he, his brother and his fiancee "Mylee" were all killed by Tong Po with a gun less than 3 weeks after his victory in the first movie for revenge in the sequel: Kickboxer 2: The road back. After seeing the sequel it was hard to enjoy the final happy scene in the first movie knowing all of them would be slaughtered soon. I am really glad Bloodsport 2 did NOT start with Chong Li machine gunning Frank Dux, Ray Jackson and Franks's girlfiriend as that would have retroactively made the ending to this movie not so happy anymore....
Good recap. I think I've watched this movie about 10 times. Btw, 13:37 that's a Dim Mak right there, this time not against a brick. One of the highlights of the movie :) An that's not a mere wrestler, but a Sumo wrestler, and imo one of the few other contestants who could probably beat Chong Li. And for fuck's sake, after Chong Li kills his opponent, at 16:05 the organizers don't "turn a blind eye on such lawlessness". They turn their backs on him, showing their disapproval, because he disrespects the honor code of matial arts by killing others.
Oh, I was confused. I thought they wouldn't let Frank because he wasn't Japanese. Then, I remembered the Kumite is held in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
15:59 It's not only to honor the virtuous fighting spirit of the fallen fighter, it also shows their disdain and disrespect for Chong Li, turning their back to him (a disrespectful gesture, just as he's earned). Later on, they congratulate Frank Dux for bringing back the honor the Kumete is supposed to represent by defeating such a low-life fighter.
"Frank! I don't want to watch you get hurt!"
"Then don't watch."

Still one of my favorite movies. Blood Sport never gets old

So this was basically the origin story of Johnny cage
That story was more real than the Frank Dux’s life story.
@@UpdoggWhattt Wouldn't call it real life. He lied his ass off about his life. All this was fake and never actually happened.
@@CosmicGoku529 of course it was fake. That was my point.
Only difference Johnny Cage is a movie star...

How the hell is this footage so beautiful? I've never seen remastering like this in my 40 year life. Truly remarkable.

Personally I think it is somewhat too much. We are used seeing things at a certain sharpness, not more.
Also I noticed skin being too orangy at certain times, don't know if this due to the original or the enhanced film though.

2160p 60 frames per second
Tanaka: you didnt flinch, you have fight
Frank: I wanted to, i just couldnt in time.
the exotic monkey kung fu style is crazy
The black DIA agent was so inspired by US soldier's Kumite victory. He went on to became Ghost Dog a deadly material arts assassin for the mob.
The end of the movie leaves this ambiguous but I would love to have found out that Frank's sensei lived just long enough to find out that Frank won the Kumite before passing away. That would have been really nice.
Bloodsport is a classic

Good spelling
"the kumite that is reconized throughout hongkong and even beyond"
ah yes the world wide known secret martial arts tournament XD
The only person that holds a candle to the Jean Claude is the Legendary Bolo Yeung. A+ Actor!
Fun fact, Bolo Yeung’s “Brick don’t hit back”, is actually derivative of Bruce Lee’s iconic line “boards…don’t hit back!”.
they were good friends. I think that was his way of paying homage to Bruce.
Bolo is also almost 50 in this movie. Dude is a LEGEND in HK movies . He personally knew Bruce Lee.
What's wild is I met a girl at a show and her biological dad is the literal guy in that video of Bruce Lee doing his 1 inch demonstration on the white guy in the gi? the one that's launched back in the chair in that 70p video on youtube?
I've slept with that dude's biological daughter AND he was supposed to be in Bruce Lee's movie but due to his RAGING COCAINE problem he was replaced by Chuck Norris as the big final enemy.
his name is Joe Lewis and no not the black american boxer.

The Kowloon Walled City was a genuine slum area in downtown Hong Kong which was officially part of Mainland China, but was not occupied by Chinese police or troops.
Chong Li is played by Bolo Leung, who is Hong Kong Chinese, but the character may be supposed to be Korean- note the design on his headband.
To go to all the places in Hong Kong that the agents chase Frank, they would have had to take at least two ferries. I guess they didn't arrest him on the ferry rides to make it more sporting.

Chung Li is one of the greatest movie bad guys of all time and didn't have to say more than 10 words..
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Good recap. I think I've watched this movie about 10 times.
Btw, 13:37 that's a Dim Mak right there, this time not against a brick. One of the highlights of the movie :) An that's not a mere wrestler, but a Sumo wrestler, and imo one of the few other contestants who could probably beat Chong Li.
And for fuck's sake, after Chong Li kills his opponent, at 16:05 the organizers don't "turn a blind eye on such lawlessness". They turn their backs on him, showing their disapproval, because he disrespects the honor code of matial arts by killing others.
Oh, I was confused. I thought they wouldn't let Frank because he wasn't Japanese. Then, I remembered the Kumite is held in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
I was hoping you'd comment on young Frank's favorite team, the Giants.
Guy in thumb nail is Bolos love child
I only realised now that Forrest Whitaker was in the movie.
This movie is called vandame
The "Arab" Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha
15:59 It's not only to honor the virtuous fighting spirit of the fallen fighter, it also shows their disdain and disrespect for Chong Li, turning their back to him (a disrespectful gesture, just as he's earned). Later on, they congratulate Frank Dux for bringing back the honor the Kumete is supposed to represent by defeating such a low-life fighter.
I saw this in the movie theater!
