He’s been telling his side of the story for decades. His story changes constantly and with new hilarious absurdities. I like frank. Not because he’s a great fighter or has even fought he’s a story teller that just created a mountain Everest of lies and it’s so damn funny I. TH-cam there’s a 3 part interview. Called the secret man. It’s an hour and a half and from the mid 90s and man is it so hilarious.
Whatever anyone thinks of frank he has obviously worked hard in his life and had a big impact on these fantastic action movies which are far better than anything since , nice clean action shots brilliant soundtrack, love these movies
Dux wasn't behind the camera, and he didn't make the soundtrack, lol. He helped with choreography, which isn't that good, to be honest. He stole the idea of Bloodsport from Enter the Dragon. It's basically the same movie. There are also things added to Bloodsport that Dux had nothing to do with.
The part where Frank spoke about losing a child really hit me extremely hard in the heart, I never knew that of him and my wife and I lost our first son Victor to a heart condition and a open heart surgery gone wrong and it completely crushed our world, so my heart heart goes out to you Frank🙏
Man, it is so interesting to hear Frank Dux telling stories. Like, when you listen to him talk, you becoming like hypnotizes and because of that, it is so interesting to hear him and his stories from his life.

What if people hate Frank just because someone up there, in the film business said so? But on the other hand, you have to be careful and not take every stuff as truth.
@@oldironsides4107 Maybe that interview with him was about trying to promote Bloodsport movie or some other stuff? Other words, we will never know what it was about really. And i'm not trying to defend him or anything, i'm just trying to find some logic in what happened.
It would be cool if Dux and Van Damme could patch up their differences, I've enjoyed the Dux videos, I don't think I've actually seen him interviewed before, he seems like a cool guy
Van Damme, Sheldon and Dux need to get over their differences and make one more classical masterpiece. I dont care if Frank Dux is full of shit. He is a great fighting coordinator, Sheldon is an awesome action director and Van Damme is a bona fide star. They get their hands on a solid script and work together, I believe that lightning will strike again for them.
To me, the success of Bloodsport is the location (Hong Kong), JCVD, the cast/choreographers, musical scores, production team, I mean in the end of the day, it was a team effort....BTW, Aren't you a little young for full contact??? Aren't you a little old for video games??
at 4min and 53 sec Viking Samurai asks Frank if there was any fight scenes cut from Bloodsport and Frank talks about other things. dang it i was really hoping Frank would of talked about any deleted fight scenes cause thats something ive been wanting to know about for years. hopefully if Viking Samurai does another interview with Frank he can remember to ask that question again.
@@Phan-Xu There is a pic of JCVD throwing a punch to the face of the big Samoan from a low position (presumably from his box split). Its a close up. Also there is pics of more action against the guy that traps his leg and JCVD counters with a round house from the other leg. Asian guy in the grey suit. I read somewhere fight was reduced cos he was a good kicker and they didn't want him to outshine Van Damme.
I am met Jean-Claude before Bloodsport, i was working with Mohamad(Michel Qissi) in a Beverly Hills Restaurant on Little Santa-Monica back in 1985, please, let's make a Bloodsport Redux, as fast as we can!
The scene where van damme breaks the bottom brick i would say is probably my favorite scene in the movie, or at least the most powerful scene, not only does he prove his worth to those who doesn't think he can handle the kumite but it shows van dammes extreme concentration in his eyes and the yell he makes which is unlike any other martial arts star, like you said before bruce lee does something like it in enter the dragon wen he jumps on the guy, but van dammes is better. if that scene was cut and ruined i can only imagine how many other scenes would have been ruined too and if van damme and whoever else didn't go back to re-edit the movie i don't think we would have ended up with the best martial arts movie of all time, instead we probably would have gotten something forgettable - ruined by the bad editing by not letting everything van damme can do come through.
I love this interview series with Dux Blood Sport is so nostalgic to me....I've seen it countless times.... watching these videos and hearing these details like about the Gi is so surreal...great job mate....keep this up
Great interview. Amazing behind scene stories. At the end of the day our heroes in the movies are only human beings. They are imperfect like us. The characters they play are greater than life. It's sad to hear dark side of heroes but it should encourage us to strive better. God bless
Excellent! Thank you to the Viking Samurai for the hard work put into this production! I look forward to each of these. Thank you for giving Hanshi Dux the opportunity to tell his side of things. If you just listen, it's not that hard to see whats going on. You must research both sides of everything..in great detail..in order to put 2 and 2 together. I have been doing just that for 20 years and he is still one of my biggest inspirations. It's sad to see other respected and accomplished men in Hollywood spending so much time worrying about anyone else but themselves. If they look beyond the end of their nose, they will see that Frank Dux is one of the humblest and most honorable men around and that often, these people trying to discredit Dux are taking things out of context or exaggerating false claims that were never even there to begin with. Do the research yourself. You put so much effort into believing slander so why not go the extra mile? His work speaks for itself. That truth alone is all that matters to me. Thank you again to the both of you. This is just outstanding journalism and offers new perspective.
Looking forward to hearing about Zane Frazier blindsiding him with brass knux and like 5 other dudes. I'm sure he will reconcile it with his demonstrations where he takes on multiple attackers while wearing a blindfold, and explain why he wasn't able to use his ninja skills to sense and defend the impending attack. And he will explain why Zane could withstand the strike that can break bullet proof glass. I'm sure it'll be as real as his hair color or the rolex he gave to JKVD.
I'm glad someone still hasn't been hypnotized by all of his bull. Some of these comments has me thinking that most of these people grew up without fathers. Like people really need a hero and to believe his stories are true. It's really sad how gullible people are.
@@vedder10 Completely agree ! people keep praising Dux and how their glad for his side of the story .. They seem to "forget" during all this he's a conman ! apparently 30+ years of lies isn't enough to convince these people these are made up stories .
Very interesting interview with Frank Dux. I did not know that they was stuck in Hong Kong two years after they made Blood Sport. Also the part when he said he brought Christopher diapers.
Super awesome interview. The evening before my taekwondo and karate competitions I would just watch Blood Sport, Kick Boxer, Best of the Best, Karate Tiger, etc..
I actually believe Frank on the whole "buying the uniforms" thing and it makes sense. I always wondered who was responsible for those. I think we can all say it was a collaborative effort where a lot of people brought something to the table and those "something's" all came together and produced a master piece. I don't think we will ever know the absolute truth though of what really went on in Hong Kong and who did what. Maybe Donald Gibb can come on at some point to give us a fresh perspective.
What? I. Any boxing movie or martial arts movie you’re wondering “ who bought the uniforms”? Yeah when I watch a movie. I’m always wondering who chose the clothing.
@Viking and all the viewers... Has anyone else seen the recent interview of Leah Ayres who played Janice? Personally, I think the interviewer totally messed it up and it could have been way better. Honestly, he was all stiff and looked awkward. He could have had so much of a laugh with her about it. I think he made her feel awkward. We need Viking on the case to see if he can get her on here. She spoke exclusively about "Bloodsport" too. She said JCVD and her didn't really get on, he bought his wife with him onto the set and they filmed it in 1986 which I didn't know. Bolo spoke no English and they just nodded to each other. Haaa. Fantastic.
Fairplay i could listen to franks interviews all day. Whatever anyone thinks of him, hes very intelligent and knows hes stuff. Props for bloodsport, one my favs of all time. Also id beleive this guy over Seagal any day of the week.
Even though Bloodsport is based in Frank's supposed events and JCVD played Frank. It would've been interesting to see Frank play a tournament fighter and have a fight scene or 2 in the movie.
Dux served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1975 to 1981, and claims he was sent on covert missions to Southeast Asia and awarded the Medal of Honor. He also asserts he was recruited by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director William J. Casey to work as a covert agent. His military records, however, show he was never sent overseas and has not received any awards; Dux states the military sabotaged his records to discredit him. He has been accused of falsifying his military service by authors B. G. Burkett, Ralph Keyes and Nigel West, and his claim to have worked for the CIA has been dismissed by Director of Central Intelligence Robert Gates, General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., Major General John K. Singlaub, and Soldier of Fortune magazine -Frank Dux, Wikipedia
The more people that try to discredit Hanshi Dux, the more evidence that comes to the surface to re-enforce his claim. Thank you for giving him a platform to truly show evidence that he is who he says he is.
Im a black belt under pablo Gracie 3rd dan .in Colombian Jujitsu wee have our own special chalk its shiny fishscale wee call it .. after staying up for 5 days doing my kata my nose was sore and id nearly had a heart attack a few times.. but my breathing techniques calmed me down but after that i was a black belt in Colombian cartel Jujitsu. Now i now i could out snort the best in the world 💯🤧
@@lonewolf333 No, Van Damme became a star because of cult movie 'No Retreat No Surrender'. After cinema release in 1986 everybody was asking 'who is this russian guy?'. This is the only movie where he showed everithing what he is capable of. That is how Dux found Van Damme, not opposite. Only problem is that it is chinese production and no true american will give any proper credit for this movie to som little chinese, neither JCVD does not want to talk about it because it was hard work for little money where he risk his health.
@@maroskn3008 And that's exactly why he wasn't yet a star from "No Retreat, No Surrender". I am old enough to remember when Van Damme was unknown. Bloodsport was what put him on the map, as it was much more popular than the former movie. It didn't matter that Dux found Van Damme from the movie; had he not made Bloodsport, it's arguable that Van Damme would've been even lesser known than Michael Dudikoff.
@@lonewolf333 No, in 1988 people did no not went to cinema to see 'Bloodsport' franchise, nor find out about Frank Dux life, nor see another CANNON movie, they went there to see the guy who played in 'No Retreet No Surrender'. Every fan saw 'NRNS' at least 20 times on his 5-th VHS copy. There is no successful 'Bloodsport' franchise like Terminator, Predator or Aliens. There is no successful Frank Dux martial arts / stant coordinator career for hollywood movies other then around JCVD. There is only JCVD who made career. Frank Dux was living like a parasite on JCVD for many years and he wants some credit for his career? Nobody cares about Frank Dux, without JCVD nobody would know who Frank Dux is.
@@maroskn3008 By your logic, there's no successful "No Retreat, No Surrender" franchise either. Also, pratically nobody went to see No Retreat at the theater, because it only sold a million tickets and grossed over 4 million. Bloodsport grossed over 50 million. Even Wikipedia has sources that claim Bloodsport was his breakout role. Also, where the fuck are the other actors from No Retreat? No one even knows who the hell the main protagonist is let alone most of the supporting cast. Several of the main and supporting cast of Bloodsport either already had established acting careers or later on became more famous. You don't know what you're talking about.
You can hear how much affection Master Frank has for Master Jean-Claude and his family. Our children in the martial arts would benefit greatly by watching the two men find a resolution. Do it for the future leaders of the martial arts. 🙏🏻
@The Crazy Amateur Runner all to get his attention for him to see his kids during a time people are lying and using your friend against you; And for their benefit lying to him, all while killing him with drugs? Be the one friend that doesn’t care what you think of him? Be a friend that takes his Rolex watch off to help you during a temporary down time? That is more than a friend; That is an example of the measure of a master who loves his protégé! 🙌🏻 Who would not go to court to save the life and family of Master Jean Claude? The evil people continue to troll and push Master Frank away because he speaks out on drugs. We must be wise enough to ask who is a better teacher for our children between Master Frank and the opposition. Look at them and look at Master Frank. Team Frank Dux🇺🇸 & Team Jean-Claude🇺🇸🇧🇪! 4 Life brother!
@@antoniocapulera The only evil and troll here is Frank Dux!! Please name these corky buffoons who are they, I would like to know, and then I'll Look at Frank Dux..
@@antoniocapulera My friend, you do realize that it's only Frank coming up with all this stories about rolex and so-called helping seeing his kids. Stories without a proof and that other people probably say it's not true. I'm not saying that everthing must be truth what the majority says, even if that majority are well known directors, actors and martial artists. But why the hell would they lie? It's easy to see what motives would Frank have when it comes to telling half-truth, exaggerating the stuff and even telling lies, but what motives would have Sheldon,JCVD, Don Wilson and many others. It just can't be that they are all lying and only Frank speaks the truth.
@@kreten7775 no, not at all.. I think having a movie with your “legal name” as the hero, the glory from the film being the greatest martial arts film ever to date, and having greatest martial arts “action star” Master Jean-Claude play you… may make a few people jealous. It was a lot to bear and still is. For example, Master Don Wilson speaks out about Master Frank; think about it, Master Don has won so many outstanding kickboxing championships and is beautiful and graceful while doing it! But, why, and how come so many people say the name Frank Dux, over Don Wilson?? A lot. It’s unbearable to these warriors because you see, these outstanding talented men have not looked enough within themselves for their own spiritual growth and self confidence. “If” Master Frank was a big fake, “which he is not”, then why can he sit in his house and do what he does all day, listen to the haters speak, and still be ok. It’s because he has the self confidence of a true master of the martial arts; he finds approval within.. it’s so important to achieve this because the same people who tell you that you are “great” are the same people who will tear you down one minute later in the same breath. Which is exactly why Master Frank for all of these years has let others call him a phony and get away with it! It’s because Master Frank doesn’t care what “Anyone” thinks of him as a man or warrior. He centers himself with the love of his family, his own belief in himself, and the contributions he made for all the children of the 1980’s and 90’s in martial arts!
Any future discussion s on the score , which i always found made a huge underrated feel and sound to the film , same guy who did the score for kickboxer aswell a mr Paul Hertzog , i may be wrong but believe he was a school teacher aswell and part time film composer? Either way i bought the 2 original soundtracks years ago still have and have and listen too nostalgic.. silly vids shadow boxing / kicking when a lot younger :p , anyway just a little thought if not on it :) Top vids man keep up the good work all appreciated!
@@robd1329 I do two. It like a old grandpa or uncle with crazy stories of the past you believe as a child, and once you get a little older you learn they were indeed not true.
@@ronb.1466 ...yea...at 10yrs old all the kids on my block thought this guy was a super soldier or something from watching the movie and reading the credits.

Ive fought 3 opponents one after another back in my TKD...and i couldnt go on after the 3rd fight...i was ran out of gas and lost. Yet Dux conquiered them all in suppossedly real underground bare knuckle fighting....yea right!
Hello, Viking Samurai. I've enjoyed all your segments of the Frank Dux interview. It's got me to think about things in a certain way, in relation to Dux. However, I still dont believe everything he said, but some of it is true. Hearing him speak on things, is more interesting than humans talking about him, without the context of situations. TERRANCE OUT
I honestly think most of his stories are nothing but fabrications, but you gotta give it to Frank, he's pretty entertaining to listen to, and I'm sure he was integral to the success of Bloodsport, even if he's full of BS otherwise.
Frank never wrote the screenplay. so now he is a special forces. secret martial arts society. holder of fake world records, fight choerographer AND a screen writer?????
In 1993, Dux attended the 2nd annual Draka Martial Arts Trade Show in Los Angeles, where he had a confrontation with kickboxer Zane Frazier.[11] Dux had previously hired Frazier to teach classes for him, though Frazier alleges that Dux never paid him. A fight ensued, with Frazier proving victorious. Rorion Gracie and Art Davie witnessed the fight and subsequently offered Frazier a position in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[12][13][14] Dux states that Frazier sucker punched him while wearing brass knuckles,[13] in contradiction to multiple sources, including mixed martial arts (MMA) referee John McCarthy, who make no mention of this in their accounts of the fight. -Frank Dux, Wikipedia
Viking Samurai, I wish there was a way you can get to interview JCVD.I know this is like wishing on a star, because I know it might be hard to get him on your show, not to mention how $$$$ it might be. But it would be awesome to hear his stories as well.
When Van Damme broke the brick in the movie....i wish it was explained how they made the brick explode. As for Frank giving Van Damme his Rolex to sell...that i have to hear Van Damme say if its true. He made VD like he was that down and depressed...i just cant see him that way
@@axelstone3131 im 50 and you can look at my pics from when i was 10 and see its me lol..he looks like a totally different guy. stroke or not. aged or not. heavier or not. witchery i tells ya!! lol
I like how The Dux manages to give credit to the producer while somehow turning it around into giving himself credit. "I have to give him credit, you know. He allowed me to do my thing. To do the choreography of the fights". So he's actually giving HIMSELF credit, even though he's lazily disguising it behind giving credit to someone else. Classic narcissistic trick.
The problem is no one would watch a 3 or 5 hr video (ok, maybe a few guys would lol) and TH-cam will kind of penalize you from getting short view time in a video (low audience retention)... There's a reason why Tik Tok and TH-cam Shorts are so popular, bc people have A.D.D.
What do you think about this as a movie idea: Paris the prince of troy; told from his pov. He’s the one who started the whole war. He also kills Achilles, a half God. The most ferocious the greatest warrior of all time, a heroes hero. Who was Alexander the greats hero. He also stole queen Helen of Sparta, from a Spartan king. That’s courageous or crazy I don’t know. Which then starts a world war in which his world around him burns down. But what’s interesting is that Paris could have started the war so he could kill Achilles, the half god, King of the Myrmidons greatest warrior in the world. ??? How does it sound? It has Achilles, a Spartan King, The Hottest Woman ever Queen Helen, Prince Hector of Troy, Patroclus cousin of a half-God Warrior King of Ant Men myrmidons, obviously Paris. Paris survives by running away. After the survivors of Troy move to like idk the Italy area and are known for generations as the people of Troy. Even Achilles had a son. Could tie Achilles son in there too… but idk 🤷♂️ Maybe it could be told from the pov of Paris and Patroclus. Where we can look at Achilles and the warriors from a different angle. As a more mysterious rugged tough warrior side, and less of kinder loving side.
This on this site just whunts it to be real so bad. People have told him it's alot of b.s.. but he doesn't want to listen to people that were there and took part of it. he has blinders on because it's one of his favorite movie he wants to think it's a real no
Imagine spending over 30 years justifying yourself and being forced to come up with plausible justifications because you didn’t think your lies through when you were younger and now your whole public life is based off those lies. This person’s life must be a big pot of regretful decisions. 😄
He seems like a really chill guy, While I don't believe the kumite happened, if it did it more than likely never happened they way the movie did, and while I do believe dukes is trained somewhat in martial arts, I don't believe he is as good as he thinks he is, he trained yes, but a young Frank vs a modern day trained fighter....Frank ain't winning, and to be honest I don't trust Frank's military background either.
Man... All these videos with Frank Dux are really very interesting. I didn't expect to hear this kind of revelations from him one day in my life. I'm from France and I understand English, I also use TH-cam subtitles but, can you allow TH-cam to put French subtitle also? Even for you, I think you will gain in visibility here, French people really like JCVD and will also like this kind of stories.
Not sure how that works exactly, as far as Allowing TH-cam to put in French subtitles. I'm open for TH-cam putting in all kinds of languages subtitles if possible.
I like what I've seen from your channel for the most part, but opening every question with "lemme ask you this" doesn't do much for your perceived ability to interview or edit. BTW Occasionally holding someone like Dux feet to the fire might help with whether or not you are taken seriously in this space.
Rofl!!! Frank Dux's testimony is on TH-cam, he is lieing here and he was lieing on the stand! Watching his testimony is one of the most painful things I've ever sat through, clearly there's a reason he lost. And lost all his Lawsuits!!
It seems like he's saying Van Damme betrayed me and that killed my child I feel for your loss my friend but C'mon Frank stop deflecting your personal stuff onto others 🤦🤦
Like your vid’s,but ducks is really getting old. Bloodsport, (BS)…wasn’t considered that big a deal back when it came out. Back then…people in the martial arts actually trained, I think maybe 5 people at the dojo I trained at in Gainesville Fl. had even heard of the movie…and they thought it was silly. No offense, please take this as constructive criticism, but these vids are basically infomercials for a snake oil salesman. A movie made for 300lbs mall ninjas. Again all respect ….but you’re kinda barking up a dead tree… Now the Chris Flynn video was awesome. Actual factual information that could actually help people, please do more with him if you can. But ducks is just using you at this point.
Get the hell outta here lol, nobody knew Frank Dux but a small Blood sport cult following lol, Dave cut the craap, it sounds completely ridiculous, even with the explanations bro lol, Tyson was 10x more popular internationally and came not even close to a billion dollar gate....and...he didnt mention WHO the prince was lol
@@aquaticlibrary I totally agree with Viking Samurai staying neutral and just allowing Frank to speak. However I'm disappointed with how some of these commenters are looking for a hero and are hanging on to every word this man is saying. Like they never had a father to teach them about true heroes.

If you just listen, it's not that hard to see whats going on. You must research both sides of everything..in great detail..in order to put 2 and 2 together. I have been doing just that for 20 years and he is still one of my biggest inspirations.
It's sad to see other respected and accomplished men in Hollywood spending so much time worrying about anyone else but themselves. If they look beyond the end of their nose, they will see that Frank Dux is one of the humblest and most honorable men around and that often, these people trying to discredit Dux are taking things out of context or exaggerating false claims that were never even there to begin with.
Do the research yourself. You put so much effort into believing slander so why not go the extra mile? His work speaks for itself. That truth alone is all that matters to me.
Thank you again to the both of you. This is just outstanding journalism and offers new perspective.
Great interview as always. Much ❤ as always
Great interview. I think Frank comes off well here
Looking forward to hearing about Zane Frazier blindsiding him with brass knux and like 5 other dudes. I'm sure he will reconcile it with his demonstrations where he takes on multiple attackers while wearing a blindfold, and explain why he wasn't able to use his ninja skills to sense and defend the impending attack. And he will explain why Zane could withstand the strike that can break bullet proof glass. I'm sure it'll be as real as his hair color or the rolex he gave to JKVD.
I'm glad someone still hasn't been hypnotized by all of his bull. Some of these comments has me thinking that most of these people grew up without fathers. Like people really need a hero and to believe his stories are true. It's really sad how gullible people are.
@@vedder10 Completely agree ! people keep praising Dux and how their glad for his side of the story .. They seem to "forget" during all this he's a conman ! apparently 30+ years of lies isn't enough to convince these people these are made up stories .
Very interesting interview with Frank Dux. I did not know that they was stuck in Hong Kong two years after they made Blood Sport. Also the part when he said he brought Christopher diapers.
Another great interview!
Super awesome interview. The evening before my taekwondo and karate competitions I would just watch Blood Sport, Kick Boxer, Best of the Best, Karate Tiger, etc..
I actually believe Frank on the whole "buying the uniforms" thing and it makes sense. I always wondered who was responsible for those. I think we can all say it was a collaborative effort where a lot of people brought something to the table and those "something's" all came together and produced a master piece. I don't think we will ever know the absolute truth though of what really went on in Hong Kong and who did what. Maybe Donald Gibb can come on at some point to give us a fresh perspective.
What? I. Any boxing movie or martial arts movie you’re wondering “ who bought the uniforms”?
Yeah when I watch a movie. I’m always wondering who chose the clothing.
@@oldironsides4107 Yeah, why not. True fans analyse the small details.
Great Episode, thanks for posting this.
@Viking and all the viewers... Has anyone else seen the recent interview of Leah Ayres who played Janice? Personally, I think the interviewer totally messed it up and it could have been way better. Honestly, he was all stiff and looked awkward. He could have had so much of a laugh with her about it. I think he made her feel awkward. We need Viking on the case to see if he can get her on here. She spoke exclusively about "Bloodsport" too. She said JCVD and her didn't really get on, he bought his wife with him onto the set and they filmed it in 1986 which I didn't know. Bolo spoke no English and they just nodded to each other. Haaa. Fantastic.
I'd like to see an interview with Mark DiSalle one of these days, on working with Dux, Van Damme and Jeff Speakman.
Great interview , this movie is my favorite martial arts movie
Fairplay i could listen to franks interviews all day. Whatever anyone thinks of him, hes very intelligent and knows hes stuff. Props for bloodsport, one my favs of all time. Also id beleive this guy over Seagal any day of the week.
ask an interview fro jcvd about bloodsport anf dux
Interesting. God bless you.
Great video Viking samuri. Mr dux was quite interesting too
Even though Bloodsport is based in Frank's supposed events and JCVD played Frank. It would've been interesting to see Frank play a tournament fighter and have a fight scene or 2 in the movie.
And you Must be Frank Ducks! No it's Dux. 😂 😂
Dux served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1975 to 1981, and claims he was sent on covert missions to Southeast Asia and awarded the Medal of Honor. He also asserts he was recruited by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director William J. Casey to work as a covert agent. His military records, however, show he was never sent overseas and has not received any awards; Dux states the military sabotaged his records to discredit him. He has been accused of falsifying his military service by authors B. G. Burkett, Ralph Keyes and Nigel West, and his claim to have worked for the CIA has been dismissed by Director of Central Intelligence Robert Gates, General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., Major General John K. Singlaub, and Soldier of Fortune magazine -Frank Dux, Wikipedia
And I like he quickly turned his phone off in his interview with you
The more people that try to discredit Hanshi Dux, the more evidence that comes to the surface to re-enforce his claim. Thank you for giving him a platform to truly show evidence that he is who he says he is.
What evidence ? LOL
He is full of it ! You must be blind, smh
Im a black belt under pablo Gracie 3rd dan .in Colombian Jujitsu wee have our own special chalk its shiny fishscale wee call it .. after staying up for 5 days doing my kata my nose was sore and id nearly had a heart attack a few times.. but my breathing techniques calmed me down but after that i was a black belt in Colombian cartel Jujitsu. Now i now i could out snort the best in the world 💯🤧
Frank Dux thinks he gave career to JCVD. 👏
He still does not realise that JCVD gave career to him.
Actually, Van Damme became a star because of Bloodsport, so Frank kind of did give Van Damme a career.
@@lonewolf333 No, Van Damme became a star because of cult movie 'No Retreat No Surrender'. After cinema release in 1986 everybody was asking 'who is this russian guy?'. This is the only movie where he showed everithing what he is capable of. That is how Dux found Van Damme, not opposite. Only problem is that it is chinese production and no true american will give any proper credit for this movie to som little chinese, neither JCVD does not want to talk about it because it was hard work for little money where he risk his health.
@@maroskn3008 And that's exactly why he wasn't yet a star from "No Retreat, No Surrender". I am old enough to remember when Van Damme was unknown. Bloodsport was what put him on the map, as it was much more popular than the former movie. It didn't matter that Dux found Van Damme from the movie; had he not made Bloodsport, it's arguable that Van Damme would've been even lesser known than Michael Dudikoff.
@@lonewolf333 No, in 1988 people did no not went to cinema to see 'Bloodsport' franchise, nor find out about Frank Dux life, nor see another CANNON movie, they went there to see the guy who played in 'No Retreet No Surrender'.
Every fan saw 'NRNS' at least 20 times on his 5-th VHS copy.
There is no successful 'Bloodsport' franchise like Terminator, Predator or Aliens.
There is no successful Frank Dux martial arts / stant coordinator career for hollywood movies other then around JCVD.
There is only JCVD who made career.
Frank Dux was living like a parasite on JCVD for many years and he wants some credit for his career?
Nobody cares about Frank Dux, without JCVD nobody would know who Frank Dux is.
@@maroskn3008 By your logic, there's no successful "No Retreat, No Surrender" franchise either. Also, pratically nobody went to see No Retreat at the theater, because it only sold a million tickets and grossed over 4 million. Bloodsport grossed over 50 million. Even Wikipedia has sources that claim Bloodsport was his breakout role. Also, where the fuck are the other actors from No Retreat? No one even knows who the hell the main protagonist is let alone most of the supporting cast. Several of the main and supporting cast of Bloodsport either already had established acting careers or later on became more famous. You don't know what you're talking about.
Loving the content mate
You can hear how much affection Master Frank has for Master Jean-Claude and his family. Our children in the martial arts would benefit greatly by watching the two men find a resolution. Do it for the future leaders of the martial arts. 🙏🏻
Neither one is a Master you dumbass!
@The Crazy Amateur Runner all to get his attention for him to see his kids during a time people are lying and using your friend against you; And for their benefit lying to him, all while killing him with drugs? Be the one friend that doesn’t care what you think of him? Be a friend that takes his Rolex watch off to help you during a temporary down time? That is more than a friend; That is an example of the measure of a master who loves his protégé! 🙌🏻
Who would not go to court to save the life and family of Master Jean Claude? The evil people continue to troll and push Master Frank away because he speaks out on drugs.
We must be wise enough to ask who is a better teacher for our children between Master Frank and the opposition. Look at them and look at Master Frank.
Team Frank Dux🇺🇸 & Team Jean-Claude🇺🇸🇧🇪! 4 Life brother!
@@antoniocapulera The only evil and troll here is Frank Dux!! Please name these corky buffoons who are they, I would like to know, and then I'll Look at Frank Dux..
@@antoniocapulera My friend, you do realize that it's only Frank coming up with all this stories about rolex and so-called helping seeing his kids. Stories without a proof and that other people probably say it's not true.
I'm not saying that everthing must be truth what the majority says, even if that majority are well known directors, actors and martial artists. But why the hell would they lie? It's easy to see what motives would Frank have when it comes to telling half-truth, exaggerating the stuff and even telling lies, but what motives would have Sheldon,JCVD, Don Wilson and many others. It just can't be that they are all lying and only Frank speaks the truth.
@@kreten7775 no, not at all.. I think having a movie with your “legal name” as the hero, the glory from the film being the greatest martial arts film ever to date, and having greatest martial arts “action star” Master Jean-Claude play you… may make a few people jealous. It was a lot to bear and still is. For example, Master Don Wilson speaks out about Master Frank; think about it, Master Don has won so many outstanding kickboxing championships and is beautiful and graceful while doing it! But, why, and how come so many people say the name Frank Dux, over Don Wilson?? A lot. It’s unbearable to these warriors because you see, these outstanding talented men have not looked enough within themselves for their own spiritual growth and self confidence. “If” Master Frank was a big fake, “which he is not”, then why can he sit in his house and do what he does all day, listen to the haters speak, and still be ok. It’s because he has the self confidence of a true master of the martial arts; he finds approval within.. it’s so important to achieve this because the same people who tell you that you are “great” are the same people who will tear you down one minute later in the same breath. Which is exactly why Master Frank for all of these years has let others call him a phony and get away with it! It’s because Master Frank doesn’t care what “Anyone” thinks of him as a man or warrior. He centers himself with the love of his family, his own belief in himself, and the contributions he made for all the children of the 1980’s and 90’s in martial arts!
Any future discussion s on the score , which i always found made a huge underrated feel and sound to the film , same guy who did the score for kickboxer aswell a mr Paul Hertzog , i may be wrong but believe he was a school teacher aswell and part time film composer?
Either way i bought the 2 original soundtracks years ago still have and have and listen too nostalgic.. silly vids shadow boxing / kicking when a lot younger :p , anyway just a little thought if not on it :)
Top vids man keep up the good work all appreciated!
Fantastic channel
These interviews with Dux are very interesting and no matter what your opinions on him, he does have some very good stories.
And that's all they are, stories I'm sure
Yes Stories
...yea...tall tale stories..but yet for some reason i enjoy listening to him
@@robd1329 I do two. It like a old grandpa or uncle with crazy stories of the past you believe as a child, and once you get a little older you learn they were indeed not true.
@@ronb.1466 ...yea...at 10yrs old all the kids on my block thought this guy was a super soldier or something from watching the movie and reading the credits. You get older and realize...mmm...something doesnt add up or the math of his suppossedly kumite fights. Ive fought 3 opponents one after another back in my TKD...and i couldnt go on after the 3rd fight...i was ran out of gas and lost. Yet Dux conquiered them all in suppossedly real underground bare knuckle fighting....yea right!
Hello, Viking Samurai. I've enjoyed all your segments of the Frank Dux interview. It's got me to think about things in a certain way, in relation to Dux. However, I still dont believe everything he said, but some of it is true. Hearing him speak on things, is more interesting than humans talking about him, without the context of situations.
TERRANCE OUT
Brotha..this was an excellent interview! Great guest too!
Good stuff bro
Please ask him where did they film the kumite fight scene at!
They were filmed at Clearwater Bay film studios. Now run by sil-metropol
Red Pepper Kitchen...little chinatown
@@robd1329 what?
@@Phan-Xu ...its a bruce lee Game of Death restaurant joke
@@robd1329 ok
I honestly think most of his stories are nothing but fabrications, but you gotta give it to Frank, he's pretty entertaining to listen to, and I'm sure he was integral to the success of Bloodsport, even if he's full of BS otherwise.
Frank never wrote the screenplay. so now he is a special forces. secret martial arts society. holder of fake world records, fight choerographer AND a screen writer?????
In 1993, Dux attended the 2nd annual Draka Martial Arts Trade Show in Los Angeles, where he had a confrontation with kickboxer Zane Frazier.[11] Dux had previously hired Frazier to teach classes for him, though Frazier alleges that Dux never paid him. A fight ensued, with Frazier proving victorious. Rorion Gracie and Art Davie witnessed the fight and subsequently offered Frazier a position in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[12][13][14] Dux states that Frazier sucker punched him while wearing brass knuckles,[13] in contradiction to multiple sources, including mixed martial arts (MMA) referee John McCarthy, who make no mention of this in their accounts of the fight. -Frank Dux, Wikipedia
I'd love to see bolo yeung on here aw he's son david
Viking Samurai, I wish there was a way you can get to interview JCVD.I know this is like wishing on a star, because I know it might be hard to get him on your show, not to mention how $$$$ it might be. But it would be awesome to hear his stories as well.
While always controversial. He's always an interesting video
When Van Damme broke the brick in the movie....i wish it was explained how they made the brick explode. As for Frank giving Van Damme his Rolex to sell...that i have to hear Van Damme say if its true. He made VD like he was that down and depressed...i just cant see him that way
Great interview....It's so hard to know the "truth" about anything really. Hollywood is all about promotion hard to know what's hype and what is real.
How anyone can interview Frank Dux and keep a straight face is beyond me
Poker face
Frank's face ain't much straighter O.o
Just the facts! Good interview Viking.
Young frank and old frank look so different I'm not even sure it's the same person. Looks totally different.
I’ve also said this and just got the typical “people change/people age” bullshit.
He literally looks nothing like he used to at all.
@@axelstone3131 im 50 and you can look at my pics from when i was 10 and see its me lol..he looks like a totally different guy. stroke or not. aged or not. heavier or not. witchery i tells ya!! lol
He had a mustache back in the day
Frank is a beautiful guy
A terrific video! Frank's testimony three-dimensionalizes BLOODSPORT and all of the superlative efforts behind the scenes...
I like how The Dux manages to give credit to the producer while somehow turning it around into giving himself credit. "I have to give him credit, you know. He allowed me to do my thing. To do the choreography of the fights".
So he's actually giving HIMSELF credit, even though he's lazily disguising it behind giving credit to someone else.
Classic narcissistic trick.
Lol
Great to let truth brother
How long did you talk to the guy? 5 hours lol?
Ya, about that long.
Viking I love your videos but is there any chance we can get the full interview videos from each guest aside from just the different episodes?
The problem is no one would watch a 3 or 5 hr video (ok, maybe a few guys would lol) and TH-cam will kind of penalize you from getting short view time in a video (low audience retention)... There's a reason why Tik Tok and TH-cam Shorts are so popular, bc people have A.D.D.
I'm a purple belt in jiu jitsu. Can we roll?
you dig up old rubble, I like it😉😜✌️(google translate lol)
What part of Scotland are you from?
You can tell Frank has been in some heavy battles, his nose is all crooked and his jaw is all busted.
What do you think about this as a movie idea: Paris the prince of troy; told from his pov.
He’s the one who started the whole war. He also kills Achilles, a half God. The most ferocious the greatest warrior of all time, a heroes hero. Who was Alexander the greats hero. He also stole queen Helen of Sparta, from a Spartan king. That’s courageous or crazy I don’t know. Which then starts a world war in which his world around him burns down. But what’s interesting is that Paris could have started the war so he could kill Achilles, the half god, King of the Myrmidons greatest warrior in the world. ??? How does it sound? It has Achilles, a Spartan King, The Hottest Woman ever Queen Helen, Prince Hector of Troy, Patroclus cousin of a half-God Warrior King of Ant Men myrmidons, obviously Paris. Paris survives by running away. After the survivors of Troy move to like idk the Italy area and are known for generations as the people of Troy. Even Achilles had a son. Could tie Achilles son in there too… but idk 🤷♂️
Maybe it could be told from the pov of Paris and Patroclus. Where we can look at Achilles and the warriors from a different angle. As a more mysterious rugged tough warrior side, and less of kinder loving side.
👍 OK USA
This on this site just whunts it to be real so bad. People have told him it's alot of b.s.. but he doesn't want to listen to people that were there and took part of it. he has blinders on because it's one of his favorite movie he wants to think it's a real no
In real life it was Jamaica where it was held I think. ?
and to think that was all the way back in late '86.
Dux👍😎
Did you ask him about being a CIA operative ?
We did talk about The Secret Man book, be a future video.
Imagine spending over 30 years justifying yourself and being forced to come up with plausible justifications because you didn’t think your lies through when you were younger and now your whole public life is based off those lies. This person’s life must be a big pot of regretful decisions. 😄
He seems like a really chill guy, While I don't believe the kumite happened, if it did it more than likely never happened they way the movie did, and while I do believe dukes is trained somewhat in martial arts, I don't believe he is as good as he thinks he is, he trained yes, but a young Frank vs a modern day trained fighter....Frank ain't winning, and to be honest I don't trust Frank's military background either.
Man... All these videos with Frank Dux are really very interesting. I didn't expect to hear this kind of revelations from him one day in my life.
I'm from France and I understand English, I also use TH-cam subtitles but, can you allow TH-cam to put French subtitle also? Even for you, I think you will gain in visibility here, French people really like JCVD and will also like this kind of stories.
Not sure how that works exactly, as far as Allowing TH-cam to put in French subtitles. I'm open for TH-cam putting in all kinds of languages subtitles if possible.
@@VikingSamurai yes thanks. Your work with your interviews is amazing
Koo
I like what I've seen from your channel for the most part, but opening every question with "lemme ask you this" doesn't do much for your perceived ability to interview or edit. BTW Occasionally holding someone like Dux feet to the fire might help with whether or not you are taken seriously in this space.
Rofl!!! Frank Dux's testimony is on TH-cam, he is lieing here and he was lieing on the stand! Watching his testimony is one of the most painful things I've ever sat through, clearly there's a reason he lost. And lost all his Lawsuits!!
Hahahaha he said he gave a career to JVD......this guy......
☃🔪
It seems like he's saying Van Damme betrayed me and that killed my child I feel for your loss my friend but C'mon Frank stop deflecting your personal stuff onto others 🤦🤦
Like your vid’s,but ducks is really getting old.
Bloodsport, (BS)…wasn’t considered that big a deal back when it came out.
Back then…people in the martial arts actually trained, I think maybe 5 people at the
dojo I trained at in Gainesville Fl. had even heard of the movie…and they thought it was
silly.
No offense, please take this as constructive criticism, but these vids
are basically infomercials for a snake oil salesman. A movie made for 300lbs mall ninjas.
Again all respect ….but you’re kinda barking up a dead tree…
Now the Chris Flynn video was awesome.
Actual factual information that could actually help people, please do more with him if you can.
But ducks is just using you at this point.
Get the hell outta here lol, nobody knew Frank Dux but a small Blood sport cult following lol, Dave cut the craap, it sounds completely ridiculous, even with the explanations bro lol, Tyson was 10x more popular internationally and came not even close to a billion dollar gate....and...he didnt mention WHO the prince was lol
You really gonna believe what this clown says?
He’s being objective. That’s how you get the best interviews.
@@aquaticlibrary This guy needs to be forgotten. So embarrassing
@@aquaticlibrary I totally agree with Viking Samurai staying neutral and just allowing Frank to speak. However I'm disappointed with how some of these commenters are looking for a hero and are hanging on to every word this man is saying. Like they never had a father to teach them about true heroes.
@@Rickai85 these movies wouldn’t be as-good without franks input and help ,
@@Rickai85 Don't watch. You obviously did. Walk the walk. Don't watch if there's another one.

100% that watch Frank gave JC turned out to be fake. JC probably got humiliated at the pawn store 🤣🤣

Total BS. Makes me sad.
The guy is a fake.
He's a lying fake, i don't believe anything he says
