Yes, rest in pieces, like he's a match to Tony Jaa and that's coming from someone who grew up with him, Dolph Lundgren and Schwarzenegger. We know it's all about choreography, but Tony is athletic, too and can jump quite high, without mentioning his moves. Every JVCD kick is pathetic to today standards, just look at Most of his hits in Any movie : they are filmed with different cameras and/or replayed to give the perception of a strong blow, while Tony is like a dream - you don't realize when he electrocuted you and you better stay tf down. Amateurs.... "Too fast, too furious, too fast for y'all, men".
Me and my 2 older brothers idolised Van Damme when we were kids. Reenacting and quoting every film. Tragically, we lost our eldest brother to a long battle with illness last December. Haskell Anderson from Kickboxer even sent him a message of support a couple of years ago. AWOL was always his favourite though. We played the Lionheart/AWOL theme at his funeral as we carried his coffin. The strong themes of fighting for family and overcoming obstacles in Van Damme's films is something that has always resonated with us.
really sorry for your lost mate, your brother is now somewhere else waiting for you, the happiness you lost that day will be joy and grace someday, you'll see
@@rajabhossen5867 Dude, I've seen Steven Seagal, Bruce Wllis, Jackie Chan, Van Damme and Sylvester. Best part is that, I had gone to Hongkong to see Arnold Shivajinagar, but ended up seeing the rest of them. They all had come to Hongkong for the opening of Planet Hollywood. It's there that I saw and heard about Steven Seagal the first time. The man is an actual Akaido champion and has practiced with the likes of Putin. He was a 6'4" badass and also good looking. After that I've ended up seeing every movie of his. He relentlessly beats up the bad guys and he was the one who started the trend of breaking fingers, hands, legs and arms. Just TH-cam Steven Seagal fights. Dolph Lundgren is a 6'5" giant and also a black belt like JVVD. He was the most friendly amongst the rest. Mel Gibson, A big star, but was never really called an action star.
This is a small world. I grew up in Greece during the 1990s, and as a child, this was among my favorite movies. It also made me want to visit Thailand. I saw Thailand as the definition of an exotic, beautiful land. Many lears later, in 2018, I finally got the chance to visit Thailand for work and spend some time there, and it was strange and funny (and perfect!) that the Thais saw Greece as the definition of an exotic, beautiful land (they have theme parks modelled on Greek islands). Small world indeed
5:35 is so ridiculous its awesome!! You can actually feel van damme's head bouncing back and forth while tong po is using it for a speed bag and that punch at the end LOL. So many replays lol. They never failed with the drama fights! Did the samething in Cyborg
Reminds me a tad of how in Rocky 5 Stallone punched out the sleazo fight promoter who had corrupted his protege and helped to turn him into a villain that Rocky was forced to fight on the street.
Funny thing I just noticed at this resolution, just before that as Tong Po is leaning against the pillar... the pillar moves as he gets hit. I guess they forgot to put sandbags in the prop. 😅
These guys don't care so long as someone is being mutilated. It reminds me of the scene in Idiocracy where they guy cheers as the police to shoot up his own car.
Kickboxer and Bloodsport are 2 of my favorite martial arts films. If this doesn't get your adrenaline going then nothing will! Thanku Jean Claude Van Damme you are one of the best martial artists of all time!
Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love and moral support, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate for being a wonderful moving going an interesting 🤣🤣🤣
Well that's been much debated .. but ppl forget that freddy lee told kurt not to fight back to let tong po punish him all the rounds.. so with Eric there, there's no reason to let him kick his ass.. which tells me that kurt couldve faired well against him from the beginning had Eric been there the whole time
@@JohnCollins-mm5dq of course, but Tong Po didnt have those instructions. He literally just let himself get destroyed. He made no effort to block anything and just stood there open for hit after hit. When he tried to punch, he swung like a drunk guy.
@@kevin16scalecollector54 Well I think that you forget kurt hit him in the face 3x and kicked him in the nuts ... soooooo maybe he was stunned lol I know I would be 🤣🤣🤣
Watching this as a kid, tong po scared the hell out of me. This whole fight blew my mind!!! Still cool watching as an adult. Mind is now blown that tong po can make his tongue bleed even without touching that glass on his hand
Lol I was startled by the tongue sequence too, I didn't remember that part, maybe they censored it, those older movies often had a lot of different cuts.
Van Damme make great Movies - this is one of my all time favorites...van damme is in great shape, the music is awesome, the final fight is epic...love it...
The best defense I’ve found anyway is to just stand in a drunken daze. This way your opponent can take his time with the next strike without injuries. These 2 must have studied the same book as me . Bravo!
Thank you Van Damme for this amazing final fight scene and for all the amazing movies you have made over your incredible career. You have always been my childhood idol and if it weren’t for you I would have never trained martial arts. This kickboxer final fight scene is amazing on so many levels. The music combined with all the amazing kicks is just a recipe for greatness. Respect to Mr Van Damme!
I just feel like....i wanna cry,you see those times were way better then where we are today....and he s in his 60s now.....i wish i could go back in time,so many legends actors are getting old
Tong Po is actually an Algerian guy who is a good friend of Van Damme from his days back in Belgium. He was one of the two guys chasing Van Damme in Lionheart.
And his brother was the main baddie in Lionheart. Also a close friend of JCVD. It's funny how all these years later, we find out that so many huge movie martial arts enemies were very close friends in real life. Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris. Bruce Lee and Bolo Yeung. Bolo Yeung and literally everyone he ever worked with because he was renowned in the industry as being such a super nice guy to work with, but able to look huge and mean and scary. He is one of the all time great martial arts villains, but in real life is apparently the nicest guy ever.
Hahaha liar Mohamed qissi is a moroccan🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 from oujda hé grow up in Brussels and went with van Damme to Hollywood So put algeria please out of this conversation please, they have no big stars like morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Bloodsport ,cyborg, the quest kickboxer and mini more are movies i couldwatch over and over abd never get tired of it love the soundtracks of all movies as well!
This movie motivated me in my martial arts, helped me excel. The passion and don't stop attitude was so important when I was a kid.... now we got that bs everyone gets a trophy 🏆 crap ugh ....the good ol days of movies 🎬 ❣️
People did not know much about kickboxing the 80s. So this kind of fight where Van Damme gets his arse beaten before he hits back to win was made deliberately not only to promote him as a tough guy but also kickboxing techniques. I am sure kickboxing gained popularity in US after Van Damme movies.
Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love and moral support, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate for being a wonderful moving going an interesting 🤣🤣🤣
another JCVD classic! they don't make em like this anymore! anytime I begin to doubt myself or am facing a problem to overcome, I simply close my eyes and envision the eagle, my underwater training and breaking bamboo trees with my leg...the music begins to swell as I tackle all odds with effortless intuition and fury. loved that the sheepish Asian dude got the kick to the face at the end lol.
@@velvetbear7184 yeah that might make worse rather better! I remember seeing this as child and my boy was thinking, “ Man with skills like that, no one can defend against your attack” Well, he tried it and let’s just say he now understand what real fights are like.
It's interesting after watching Kickboxer and Bloodsport how much it really inspired the creators of Mortal Kombat. It was going to be more than just a Van Damme video game, look at the scenography, the music, the costumes, everything. I feel like the first game really captured the essence of these two Van Damme movies.
exactly what i was thinking. there is a scene at 6:56 where the crowd claps. this sounds like Mortal Kombat scene where Shang Tsung is seated in the background and at the end of each round the crowd claps.
True and in fact one of the characters of the game is obviously inspired in jcvd. They changed the character's name because otherwise they would have to pay a huge amount to Van Damme.
Probably because Jackie Chan's work was WAAAYYY too fast, expertly choreographed, and focused far less on singular "glory + slow-motion" shots where people just stood there to sell the hits. 🙂 Don't get me wrong, JCVD was awesome, but everything was mainly about his physique, poses, dramatic screaming, editing, slow-mo shots, villains posturing, and sound effects. J.C.'s work was MASSIVELY more complex. I mean, just look at Meals on Wheels with Benny the jet Urquidez. 😳 Now THAT is legendary.
I think movies and scenes like this, for some people, had to have been seen back then or have been a certain age when you've seen them to truly appreciate them. I remember showing this movie to 2 of my friends around 2008, and they were laughing at almost every scene, it drove me nuts then, but now I can understand why...
Im 36 as a child I didnt understand it but Id always seen it. I really like the modern sequels. One had Dave Batista and the other had Mike Tyson I think. It did Muay Thai justice.
Absolutely 💯 spectacular movie what a great fight 💪 really those were the times, the times of cinema's watching this movie with my all family, really we miss those kind of movies, wow what a splendid show I love it, that's impressive and marvelous to watch 👍👍
in peru we had a show called millrionarie saturday they only passed fighting moves the best on es of all times bruce lee van dame , jackie chan i was just 12 years old that was my way of having fun
Даа мына кино деб ушуну айт,кайра кайра коро бергин келет тим эле.Даа убакыт озунукун ала берет турбайбы корсо.Вандам байкебиз дагы картайды,жаш кезинде кандай укмуш болгон😭😭😭
Tong Po was NOT the most "badass" martial arts movie villain. A real man does not rape a woman or rely on blackmail (kidnapping his brother) to unfairly win a fight and it is total chicken $hit to lose a fight fairly then rely on a GUN for the "rematch". To me to be a true "badass" villain the villain must have an honor code of their own. Uri Boyka from Undisputed 2 through 4 is an example of a "badass" villain since he was the villain in the 2nd movie but redeems himself as a reformed hero in the next 2 movies.
@@Zurround your overthinking it hahaha, would this movie be as good if his character had an 'honor code'? Yeah, he was a piece of shit... that's what made him such a badass villain... we all wanted to see his ass get kicked/or worse.
Remember watching this with my Father. Good times. Rest easy Papa.
Sorry for his lost
Me too!

If you watched this around the time it came out, I bet you might be around his age now, where did that time go? peace to you brother.

Probably because Jackie Chan's work was WAAAYYY too fast, expertly choreographed, and focused far less on singular "glory + slow-motion" shots where people just stood there to sell the hits. 🙂 Don't get me wrong, JCVD was awesome, but everything was mainly about his physique, poses, dramatic screaming, editing, slow-mo shots, villains posturing, and sound effects. J.C.'s work was MASSIVELY more complex. I mean, just look at Meals on Wheels with Benny the jet Urquidez. 😳 Now THAT is legendary.
I thought this was so cool as a kid. Now I know it's not possible to come back after those beatings.
Me to great 80s film but yeah just one of those kicks to the head and your going home .
Is if you’ve got the heart
That sequence from 7:14 to 7:21 is just so freaking badassery.
The aaaaaahhhhs of van damme here are one of his best moments. Felt like it gave more power in his attacks
That jumping front kick is 🔥🔥🔥
I think movies and scenes like this, for some people, had to have been seen back then or have been a certain age when you've seen them to truly appreciate them.
I remember showing this movie to 2 of my friends around 2008, and they were laughing at almost every scene, it drove me nuts then, but now I can understand why...
Im 36 as a child I didnt understand it but Id always seen it. I really like the modern sequels. One had Dave Batista and the other had Mike Tyson I think. It did Muay Thai justice.
Absolutely 💯 spectacular movie what a great fight 💪 really those were the times, the times of cinema's watching this movie with my all family, really we miss those kind of movies, wow what a splendid show I love it, that's impressive and marvelous to watch 👍👍
That fight really turned around quickly
De filme de lutas Van Damme é o maior da História👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Acho o Grande Dragão branco o melhor kkkkk
Roundhouse at 8:49. Still to this day unbeatable. 👍👍👍👍
not a roundhouse but still unbeatable
Iofo bibli
in peru we had a show called millrionarie saturday they only passed fighting moves the best on es of all times bruce lee van dame , jackie chan i was just 12 years old that was my way of having fun
Даа мына кино деб ушуну айт,кайра кайра коро бергин келет тим эле.Даа убакыт озунукун ала берет турбайбы корсо.Вандам байкебиз дагы картайды,жаш кезинде кандай укмуш болгон😭😭😭
the best badass villain of all time
Tong Po was NOT the most "badass" martial arts movie villain. A real man does not rape a woman or rely on blackmail (kidnapping his brother) to unfairly win a fight and it is total chicken $hit to lose a fight fairly then rely on a GUN for the "rematch".
To me to be a true "badass" villain the villain must have an honor code of their own. Uri Boyka from Undisputed 2 through 4 is an example of a "badass" villain since he was the villain in the 2nd movie but redeems himself as a reformed hero in the next 2 movies.
@@Zurround your overthinking it hahaha, would this movie be as good if his character had an 'honor code'? Yeah, he was a piece of shit... that's what made him such a badass villain... we all wanted to see his ass get kicked/or worse.
