I met Paco in ‘88 in Hollywood at a low key exclusive club. He was the security bouncer and I didn’t even go in, just stayed out there talking to him, more like interviewing him. He said the way he fought was an actual style, and he was a very humble guy, and definitely a highlight of my life meeting and hanging out with him.
I'll never forget when this movie came out available on vhs when I was 8 my uncle had rented it during Xmas with our whole family he said "I heard this movie is good"..and there was 13 of us sitting there pretty much glued to the TV till the end..had to share it was a great memory
Awesome memory for sure!! I first learned of Jean Claude Van Damme in the early 1990's, I was about 13 or 14 years young. My first video of his I saw was Lion Heart as well as Bloodsport. Mr. Jean Claude Van Damme has been an inspiration to me to not give up in my everyday struggle's. He's taught me indirectly to keep getting up after life's punches/kicks it might throw at me. I've took some martial arts, but never made it to any where near a high rank belt or level. I'll leave that up to people such as Van Damme to do the physical fighting.
Whatched it in 1990 first, when I was 12 years old- untill the age of 16 I guess I watched the film already something like 100 times. For me it's more than a film, it's a memory. Emotional one.
TheRosatus Same here: I spent my days watching movies like Bloodsport, Enter The Dragon, No retreat no surrender and of course Karate Kid. Good old days.
@@CYB3R2K Oh I’m aware 😄 But it’s what we grew up on. Gotta love the absurdly long pauses during fights and before the finishing moves. It’s hilarious.
Paco would've given Chong Li a serious run for his money with his height, reach and Muay-Thai kickboxing skills and it would've been a length, close and narrow fight but Chong Li would've won in the end due to Chong Li's superior grappling and wrestling skills and strength. Paco would've given Chong Li the work though. And for his challenge Chong Li most likely would've murdered Paco at the end. As he nearly did to Jackson and his last opponent before Dux.
Because he knew who all would oppose a problem and honestly before he wanted to fight dux he was hopin he didn’t have to, because the more he prayed on his downfall he could not figure his technique out and how he was able to escape the grip of death and defeat with each he fought, it began to shake the confidence of bolo Yueng and that’s dux had that dude beat before he stepped in the ring
Paco was portrayed by Paulo Tocha, one of the very first western born masters of Muay Thai. He helped choreograph many of the fight scenes in the film.
I like how even Chung Li appreciates Dux resourcefulness and determination - giving him a smirk and a nod of approval. During the opening of the scene, it seemed as if Chung Li was expecting Paco to be a hard fight for Frank. I love this movie!
Arguably the best fight scene in this movie. Actual contact and the intensity from JCVD when trading kicks is what made this match great. Wish he had more moments like this in his movies.
I love how van damme shakes his head when the guy is kicking him on the ribs it’s like jcvd tells him you like it yeah how does it feel ? Hahahahha I love that part so much
I like how paco was considered a strong kicker for a fighter and Dux shattered his reputation by not only showing he can withstand his kicks but also by kicking him with even more power to knock him out
no it's where Paco was kicking him was all muscle and vice versa, until he catches Paco under the arm pit which is a weak spot and stuns him from there on
True, but that kick was also out of turn which made Paco so susceptible to it. It was more or less a set up retaliation for the sucker punch at the beginning of the fight.
@@arserobinson7118 Facts. In real life your typical Thai fighter goes for the leg kicks, knees and clinch. Not a ton of high kicks and certainly not some dumb personal contest to see who can kick harder.
He was a good MT technician in real life. MT is a part of his real identity and he was so humbled to be asked to play the role and give people a look at what MT looks like. He got a lot of people into the sport and practice. He takes it very seriously though, too. He has several videos where he talks about his hatred for people who get into MT and think it’s all about fighting. It’s not just about fighting. Check out some of his interviews. Very genuine and good, but don’t piss him off lol.
I was just thinking that when i watched this time, he is sort of a pioneer in the states for this, first time we really saw it in the states. I was a fan of his style when this movie first came out
They're great but REALLY unrealistic. Nowadays half of the movie looks really fake lol they're way better fight choreographed in Hollywood nowadays, also really awful ones as well
@@CYB3R2K True but the question is are they better at build ups to a good story? Like the fights may be better but quality may suffer due to bad direction of modern films
I have no idea why I liked Paco so much but this was my favorite fight. He had such unique intricacies about him with how he'd weirdly move his head around the whole time. The amazing amount of self confidence and just enough of being a jerk that you loved seeing him get his.
@@chicagomike4587 why do you say that ? Do coke heads move like that ? I'm genuinely curious because I've read that same comment a few times before lol
Marcio de la Getto For some reason the action stars these days are Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. I don't know who decided to put these statues in front of the camera, but it was the worst decision ever made.
This is so much better then any MMA from Vegas or Miami!!!! Jean-Claude Van Damme was so amazing!!! Martial arts: Kickboxing, Karate, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Full contact karate, & Shotokan.
Great when in the DIM MAK scene, the businessman is right there next to Jackson to observe the Dim Mak, he knew beforehand that Dux gonna win and make some big money betting him, that's key insider info in sports betting.
Awwww man I always love this scene especially the part when he keep telling the guy to keep kicking him in his ribs I get goosebumps from that everytime I see it😂😎
I used to practice TKD and MMA under old Panamanian master. He used to have us train doing light kicks up and down our sides with different partners of different abilities. It hurt a lot at first, but I know why he made us do it. I love this scene.
Whenever I’m having a bad day or something is bothering me throughout my day or whatever the reason or if I feel like I’m giving up on something or I’m behind on something I always picture myself as Van Damme in this scene and Paco as my obstacle in my life and i don’t know why but it works for me !!! It’s like me saying no there’s no way I’m giving up , or nah hell nah I’m not letting what’s in my way be better than me or beat me , this scene is motivation for me and it gets me pumped up , I’m happy this scene exists 💪💪💪
Maybe JCVD was no to as fast and amazing as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. But since I was a child I admired his perfect technique, form and execution. Flawless and elegant.
I m a TKD guy and it is the kick I love and respect the most. But still, JCVD didn t apply it perfectly at all, he was standing a bit too close and hit him in the neck, should have hit him in the chin, that would have sent Paco straight into a coma. But this is one of the most powerful kicks there is (the one more powerful is the same one when performed jumping), it s lethal, and did the job well anyway of course.
@@igorgajic8346 Lol, do u know that it's a movie and a choregraphy, and he had to control to not touching him ??? If it was for real, he would have done it perfectly, it's easy kick for him.
Everytime Bolo is watching Van Damme fight someone, they always check in on his reaction when he lands a blow, to which Bolo always gestures, "Ok. Not bad. Decent stuff!".
When I was a kid I tried training like van damme in kickboxer when he was kicking the palm tree 🌴 and almost broke my legs cause I thought that was how you were supposed to train !!🤦🏻
Bloodsport fue la 1era película de JCV y me encantó. Mi papá le encantaban sus películas y con él las veíamos en familia. Aunque no son de mi época, sin duda marcaron mi infancia viéndolas con él.

I always admired this scene. It was one of the best displays of strategy. Frank Dux realized that the reason Paco begin the fight with punching him was because his legs were not strong. Frank Dux realized his legs weren’t strong when he tripped him. He also exploits it by kicking his legs before he taunts him to a the last part of the fight where they go blow for blow to the body.

I remember watching this with my dad when I was a kid and he said that it was this fight that Chong Li knew that he couldn't beat Dux, that's why he cheated.
@@MatthewCLewis He wouldn't have killed Paco, as he was a "heel" type of competitor, so it wouldn't have felt the right thing to do. Also, Paco would have done way better against Chong Li than Chuan Ip Mung did. Dux got all the hardest opponents in the entire kumite (Pumola anyone?)

He's an Armenian thai boxer who always plays a Chicano cholo. I think he has a thai boxing gym in LA.
He came out in Blood in Blood out and also with Van Damm on Death Warrant!😆

Thats the first thing I thought of, when I saw his stance : "weird" for a none asian guy, to have a muay thai stance ( back in those days ).
The guy playing Paco was legit. The trading body kicks part is 100% a Muay Thai thing
The actor who played Paco also was in the movie “Blood In Blood Out”, he played as Smokey the brother of Carlos of the prison gang “La Onda”.

This was one of the hardest scenes in fight movie history taking his kicks and telling him come on.. lol paco was done for right at that moment.
I like how the last kung fu guy in gold sitting next to dux was supporting him the whole way. Like the good guys wanted to beat the bad guys.
Damn! Love how Van Damme adapted to his style like it was nothing
Lol but in real live we all know who win Paco by k.o
aj sky well this ain’t real life so it don’t matter
1:32
"Your brother. Remember?'
"Like this? LIKE THIS???"
Holy hell Van Damme was ripped.
When Dux defeats Paco, the look on Chong Li's face seems to be almost respectful toward Dux
1:07 best Kick in history 😛😛

Agreed
The thud of that kick.
Paco was very intimidating looking like a straight up muy thai kickboxing master
I would've liked to have seen Paco fight Chong Li
That would have been interesting. I still say Chong Li wins, although Paco would have probably put up a good fight.
@@robertanderson2898 Paco was lucky to have fought Frank. Chong Li would've killed Paco.
@@MatthewCLewis He wouldn't have killed Paco, as he was a "heel" type of competitor, so it wouldn't have felt the right thing to do. Also, Paco would have done way better against Chong Li than Chuan Ip Mung did. Dux got all the hardest opponents in the entire kumite (Pumola anyone?)
@@MatthewCLewis idk about that, I think he would have broken his leg like he did to one of the previous fighters.
Chong Li would have won hands down and probably broken his leg like he did to one of the others
It's crazy to know that they have this good quality and graphics camera even in 1988.
Paco owned this movie! Loved how he suckered him in at the start.
Nameless Entity I would do the same lol the guy is a savage badass
Never underestimate your opponent! Frank sucks found out the hard way.
kg062007 I've heard Paco is a legit martial artist in real life. I think he studied Savate.
Sucker Punch that's awesome! 💪
pacos tacos......it would be a hit. taco bell dont stand a chance.
One of my favorite movies and fights!
