    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

I had to have one...so I won my division. I'm making it sound easier than it actually was. On another note, I met Van Damme in Atlanta at a tournament called "The Battle of Atlanta". He wasn't competing, just a guest. He's shorter than I thought...about 5'10"...I'm 6'2". He was very nice and engaging.

      Karate Champ by Data East was an arcade game that was released to arcades worldwide in 1984 but it was later ported to NES in 1986 (Bloodsport was released on February 26th 1988 but the movie's production was likely filmed throughout 1987....so it is possible for older arcade games to be floating around out there....heck I even saw an original Pac-Man from 1980 at one of my local arcades in the early 2000s).
      The Quest (1996) starring and directed by Jean-Claude Van Damme is a very loose remake of Bloodsport (1988).
      And I agree with you @brianepolito2044, the state of most modern movies nowadays are either downright atrocious or just plain lackluster/meh. Occasionally there are a few gems that pop out once in a great while but the rest aren't really worth the money to see (especially when they remake/reboot a lot of the classics only not as good) in the theatres, in my opinion.
