I am not sure did anyone told you that filming a movie and being on a set almost 24/7 is an arduous job, especially in a foreign land away from your family. So you can get only a humble amount of fun.
This had to be an awesome movie to make. The set, the actors/fighters. One of my favorite movies from my childhood, and I want to do a movie night to watch it again soon.
yeah , i just watched it again and i'm looking at the guys ... knowing some of them have played in other movies too , but not many of them... or maybe we don't know off . It was my favorite movie at the time...
I watched this in 1993 when i was 11. I immediately began working out like crazy. Martial arts, weights, running, swimming. 31 years later I still workout. This movie started it for me
@@bestactionmovies1 oh definitely. I wanted to look like him, but I've never achieved it. I'm built small. In my prime, I weighed 160 pounds and bench pressed 365 pounds. Now I weigh 180 and bench 305.
I thought the same bro. This was a staple of my childhood I've seen this movie hundreds of times. I'm not even saying it's a great film because it's pretty badly put together and was clearly low budget, but from my perspective as a ten year old...it was awesome and I still love it. Along with Kickboxer, Universal Soldier, Commando, Terminator,Rocky's, K-9, Bill and Ted, Robocop, I could list so many. Those were the days when movies meant something to kids, we watched them over and over after looking forward for them to be released. I'd go back to being that ten year old tomorrow if I could. But god bless nostalgia eh. 👍🏼
Fue mi inspiración para aprender muchas artes marciales. Cada foto que veo yo digo, estos se parecen a los de la serie street fighter pero en la vida real, son increíbles y me llena de alegría ver esto. Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪 Oss
Sin lugar a dudas,Bloodsport,es una de mis películas de artes marciales,favoritas,porque yo vi la original en VHS,con todas las escenas fuertes y sangrientas,que fueron censuradas,en los canales de películas y TV abierta,adiós y saludos desde Chile🇨🇱.
Oh man how many times I've seen that movie! Still remember being called by a school friend 'Hey come over, I have a vhs movie rented you gotta see. Martial arts movie with guys even bigger than you'.....I was...am...a big guy nobody messed with, that's why 🤣. Niw, watched the movie and loved it! Got it copied on vhs for years and later bought it on dvd when those came around. This movie has become cult legendary over the years and rightfully so! The acting is B-movie at best but it doesn't matter, it actually adds to the charm. The training, the fights, it's all perfect. And then the music....perfect in its own right. Yes, cheesy 80's....but those were my teen years and I'm Dutch so I love me some cheese 😂! Music is awesome, glorious and perfectly integrated into the movie. At the end where Jean Claude defeats Bolo with those kicks the glorious music enhances those scenes perfectly. The training music....beautiful. So I got the original soundtrack on cd, the remaster from a couple years back and on the lookout for the double cd that came out in 2003 or so as it contains 1 song not featured on the other 2. And years later I could share watching this movie with my son, born in 1998 and now also a Jean Claude vanDamme fan, watching all the movies. One of the greatest movies ever made. No oscar material, serious people will trash it, but these are idiots as this movie has entertained millions and almost 40 years later we're still love watching it and talking about it.
fantastic words !! Thanks a lot man ! I couldn't say it better ! The music was so intertwined with the story and the fight scenes .. Great music , unforgettable! No matter what the film raters say , this movie is history more than many A-class movies
Absolutely a classic martial art film of all time!! The cast. The talent. The location Hong Kong. Everything about this movie was great and we all know back then there wasn’t any green/blue screens. Just earlier one of my colleague mentioned “Bloodsport” and how much he loves this movie. I second to that and here on TH-cam I see this Bloodsport video pop up. “NO!! The bottom one!! - DIM MAC = death touch haha
I still think they should've brought Atilla out for this movie....Atilla with his killer shades and the fluffy cat in one arm as he strolls through dark and eerie labyrinth of alleyways of Hong Kong's underworld.
Atilla (Abdel Qissi) wasn’t yet in the film business in 1988. In 1990 he was in Lionheart. And in 1996 he was the great mongol Kahn in the Quest. But like you say , it would’ve been awesome to have him also in bloodsport. His brother Mohammed Qissi was in bloodsport.
Great movie, great cast, awesome soundtrack 👏 I'd love to see a proper documentary along with actual behind the scenes footage, I think VanDamme would have tons of this stuff available. Netflix made a series called "The Movies That Made Us", could you imagine a full episode dedicated to Bloodsport, it'd be awesome 👌
Especially Van Damme & bolo, van damme said that bolo could close a restaurant in hongkong to ensure that only two of them stayed and ate at that restaurant
photos taken behind the scenes , most of the photos are not on the set of the movie , but between takes ... with a few photos on the set , but mostly not as part of the movie Thanks anyway 🙏🙏 ❤
....but the black guy at 2.13 in the black shorts gold belt.....he wasn't the guy in the movie with the crazy moves who simulated the throat cut etc, that's the same outfit but completely different man. I am confusion! 🤨
Now that you telling me , andafter watching it again ... you're right at some places in the video .. a slower change would be better... pity i can not change afterwards in TH-cam..
Van Damme said in an interview that he saw an early rough cut of Bloodsport and it was terrible. There was bad directing, bad editing and no music. He then re-edited the movie and was a comercial success.
He edited many parts of the fight sequences and had to adjust the volume of the music and some sound effects. There was also something about the music of Cyborg. the music was much to loud and to much heavy metal , it destroyed the athmosphere of the movie . He had to change a lot of the music in Cyborg and make it more dark and mysterious ... @@BayuDirgantorost
Twas a great movie indeed. Unfortunately it was just that, a movie. (Not based on a true story as it claimed.) The real Frank Dux was more often than not - full of shit. He already had an interesting story in the world of martial arts... Adding fictional elements or to be 'Frank' outright lies, ended up discrediting him entirely. /pun intended Edit: Again just to be clear, that's in regards to Frank Dux the person. Not directed towards good ol' Jean Claude Van Damme whatsoever. It's a damn shame Hollywood sorta black listed him due to the entire Predator situation.
yeah , but that doesn't take a way the great memories we have about this great movie .. at that time , it was very new and it influenced a long series of upcoming movies after it.. How many copies has this movie had ...? bad copies , but it shows how good the movie was ..
only jealous people say this .. do your homework and research before saying lazy comments .. He has a real karate and kickboxing record ! He was world level ! But he decided to go in the film industry... Claude Goetz , trainer of the European kickboxing team , trained him and has a lot of his medals and cups from 1976 till 1982 when Van Damme left Belgium for the States.
All these guys must have had the time of their lifes back then. Imagine being there! What a blast.
yeah that's acuatally true ... you can show to your children and grandchildren ... Look who's there in that movie .. 😊🙏🙏💯💯

oh yes love the old school humour as well.

if only we could go back in time...😮💨
yeah , wonderful period in our history..
the later Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker was in that movie, I never noticed.
Yeah. He was young there .. great actor

cual es el tema de fondo ?
What a memories my god
Yess🙌🙌🙌💯🙏👍
Awrsome pictures and atmosphere.👍 What is the name of the music?
Bolo was a huge guy in his 40's years old.
true, still at a later age in Double Impact , he looked so great.. Even much later in movies he looks healthy
badass, dude.

They don’t make them all that anymore . Great movie best era
Paco was my favorite because I love muay thai 😁
That fight is so memorable 👍😁
Great video, can you tell me the name of the music in the background?
Beside the fighting part they just love each other you can see them hugging each other
in real life they are great friends of course ... this is a movie and they act ..
Especially Van Damme & bolo, van damme said that bolo could close a restaurant in hongkong to ensure that only two of them stayed and ate at that restaurant
What a great moment & time that was.
1:17 Frank Dux and Chong Li friends!
yeah , Frank Dux helped at some points in the choreography
That guy sitting next to Ray Jackson looks like a knock-off Schwarzenegger at 1:00.
I hope someone will do a complete making of Bloodsport documentary. This was awesome though, thank you for posting!
My parents never told me the truth. Jcvd was first messaged me when I signed up for Facebook my first time in 2017.

It seems like there was one fight scene that was deleted.
yes , they had to cut on the scenes ... that happens a lot in movies
The fight against the guy with the red and black belt was probably longer.
@@sonyx4500 look at the minute 0:23 of this video, we have never seen that scene on the movie.
@@BayuDirgantorost Yes. We saw that he had a fight with this guy but this scene was never in it. They probably cut even more than that.

no, this is kung fu and capoera guy he lose to Pumola ( big japanese guy)
he had a very strange technique , the moves resemble "monkey kung fu" (martial arts) style... I've never seen the technique in real fights..
