That Muay Thai fighter did not use his most effective weapons: knees, elbows and shins. Except for the front stance it did not resemble Muay Thai that could have given Van Damme a run for his money.
Also no clinch, no teeps, he use wide attacks.....i got similar problem with movie Kickboxer, a lot people were convinced that thai fighters have ridiculous guard, like they try to hug a tree. The Quest managed to show better Muay Thai, a pity that thai fighter in this movie lost to bad guy @@Stephenwc
As a young teenager I got in shape, was able to train myself to do all these kicks and do the splits on chairs all because of this movie. LOL. The good ol days.

I was 20 when this came out and everyone at the time believed it was true. We didn't have the internet to check on stories like the ones frank Dux and Steven Seagal told. Back then George DIlman still had to touch you to knock you out. Ninjas were kind of becoming a thing of the past as far as their supposed abilities were concerned. I think some of the higher ups knew it was BS but just didn't care, shows like this brought in more students to the clubs. Sadly we all wasted a lot of time when all we needed was the crane kick. You know if done proper, no can defend.
Well, it was actually based on a real overseas tournament, and Dux did compete. Of course, the fights in the movie were ridiculously fake, as the UFC showed years later. Dux's real final fight in his last tournament was a loss after they went to the ground and Dux was submitted. 90% of the stuff in the movie is made up, but yes, that tournament was a real thing for years.
Mortal Kombat was basically based off of this. Johnny cage was obviously Jean-Claude Van Damme. Liu Kang was Bruce Lee. Jax was Mike Tyson. I’m sure I’m missing some but there were definitely influences.
Fun fact This Movie inspired Mortal Kombat, The creator of UFC 1 said his event UFC it's inspired by Mortal Kombat this movie it's very important to MMA world.
F. For gods sake it’s forest whittaker O. For Oh my god it’s Forrest Whittaker R. For rest assured it’s Forrest Whittaker R. For really that is Forrest Whittaker E. For everyone lovers Forrest Whittaker S. For say hello to Forrest Whittaker T. For tell everyone that it’s Forrest Whittaker.
I’ve watched this film over 100 times! Absolutely love it. Van Damn is my all time favorite action movie star. This movie taught me to never fist up with a kickboxer 😅
God I loved this movie. Had the poster on my wall forEVER. Had just started Karate myself. Liked how it showed all different styles. Still love JCVD 💪❤
I love this scene. You can see at the end where Chong Lee realizes that perhaps Dux won't be as easy of an opponent to take down as he might have thought.
you can say what you want about van damme, but the roundhouse kick at the end is absolutely great. even at 0.25 times the speed, it really hits the spot.
This movie really made a good job of establishing Jean Claude’s attributes as a fighter which mostly included his funny screams like in this one when he was screaming during the kicking exchange and going “hit me hit me!!” lol
This is my favorite martial arts movie when I first saw this movie I was like 8 or 9 years old now I'm 43 and this film is still my favorite this is a master piece.
0:05 Has anyone else noticed that the dragon symbol on Bolo Yeung's headband looks a lot like the Mortal Kombat symbol? besides Johnny Cage, I think Ed Boon and John Tobias were inspired by this symbol too
I'm sure there were many at the time who saw this movie and thought "I would watch the hell out of a mixed martial arts league" like I did. Never would have thought it would actually be a thing many years later.
What a great movie 🎥, also a fun fact, Michel Qissi who played the villain "Tong Po" in the Kickboxer movies is also in this movie, he's the guy that Chong Li breaks his leg atthe end of one of the fight!
This movie came out in 1988 and it is one of the MOST !!!!!!! best movie ever Jean claude - Van Damme is perfect for the movie , the sound track is perfect as well i still watch this movie till this day and i always will .....
I practice box and Muay Thai. My idol is Van Damme. The more I learn about this stuff, the more I admire Van Damme and dislike Seagal. Kickboxing vs Muay Thai, I think on average Thai is better. Nice movie though
Funny how Van Dam remembering this in his old age, as if he really was in secret Kumite, will be more realistic than Frank Deux’s experience, whom this story is allegedly based on.
Detail 1- Van Damme pulling his pants for leg movement Detail 2- Bolo looking to the other side thinking it will be hard to fight him Detail 3- Bolo smiling with some kind of acknowledgment
For the young people who train and fight watching this, this movie essentially introduced the US to leg kicks and it became a thing after this as crazy as that may sound.
How many of you 80’s kids imitated that Paco Muai Thai fight stance because it was the coolest?? I’m one of them!
Only you miss Javier 🐷🐷🐷😩
@@BitcoinDimple then your childhood sucked ⚽️ 🏀
Im guilty of this. Went to karate lessons around 9 year old. Bloke asked us to show us our stance. I put up the paco paws ha
Nah, I attempted (and failed) to do the round house kicks in my back yard, lol
Haha. ok, ok.
I can watch this film once a week without ever getting tired of it for 27 years.
Same here. I don't know why this movie is so magical
Now show us the dim mak
I watched it like 5 times on the roku box this month haha.

This is what children should be learning in school.
There should be English, Maths, and Van Damme.

@@weho_brianahahaha 😂
And the 70+ genders.....
As a Muay Thai fighter, and a Millennial that watched this movie growing up in the 90s this makes me so proud.
Shut up.
That Muay Thai fighter did not use his most effective weapons: knees, elbows and shins. Except for the front stance it did not resemble Muay Thai that could have given Van Damme a run for his money.

@@Stephenwc He did use those weapons in other fights.
@@Stephenwc He did seem to use an elbow that knocked Dux to the ground, cutting his eyebrow and stunned him.

@@vr3116 Maybe you can play chicken with a brick wall with your golf cart.
Right after this movie finished, my brother and I started kicking each other like this as if we really hated each other. Cool times
this got a belt out of me. I never had a chance to have fun like that because my brother was way too likable
You guys were being toxic to each other
@sobzisking That is just normal sibling stuff.
Best love story ever
@JackRed6666 🫥
I just loved Paco . No frills . Manly . Lethal. I think Chong Li respected him .
I think your just making things up , whatever floats your boat.
Chong Li was more focused on studying both Fighters one more time because whoever the winner was is who he was going to have to face.
@@jskypercussion Well yes but I also think he liked to watch them as a fan of the kumite and the different styles of the martial arts
Chong wanted dux broken
Paco no mercy
Sweep the leg
Yeah they were cool with each other because they were both evil fighters. Lol.
Love it when Van Damme is getting kicked and is like "C'mon, c'mon!"
That would be toxic masculinity today
@@sobzisking It would?
@@sobzisking you are the one being toxic
God damn it. I love Bloodsport.
Classic flick my guy! I was like 10 when it came out
SO much.
It's focus on the mental aspect of martial arts is what gives it that juice.
Bolo always had the coolest bandana of all.
The most insane thing about this film is that a guy convinced people it really happened!
Yes the true story that never happened. 😅😂

This will always be a classic movie for me.

Yep. It's based off both Bloodsport and Big Trouble in Little China@@jackietreehorn8643
I am so much fan about this movie that when I was a child I tried to organize a local kumite with my friends!😂
The best part of these end scenes is that the guys who were sent to take Dux back get so into the fights…
Frank dux com técnica exuberante , deu uma verdadeira aula de artes marciais derrubando um por um seus adversários. Grande filme dos anos 80.
These movies are just as culturally important as the rest. Change my mind . Like if you miss your dad.
I miss my dad every single day
Haven’t seen the old man in months. Real barrel of laughs.

Before Frey vs. Takayama there was Dux vs Paco...legendary scene...
It's so nice of Paco to wait for him to recover after that vicious elbow to the head...
Lol don't ruin my childhood

Peliculon! Entre patadas y patadas gana Jan clon van dan🙌🙌🙌
Best fight of the movie ❤
I like the nervous "tick" that Paco has--the way he keeps jerking his head to the side. It gives him personality.
This movie really made a good job of establishing Jean Claude’s attributes as a fighter which mostly included his funny screams like in this one when he was screaming during the kicking exchange and going “hit me hit me!!” lol
I would watch this movie multiple times a week. This and Kickboxer.
This is my favorite martial arts movie when I first saw this movie I was like 8 or 9 years old now I'm 43 and this film is still my favorite this is a master piece.

What a great movie 🎥, also a fun fact, Michel Qissi who played the villain "Tong Po" in the Kickboxer movies is also in this movie, he's the guy that Chong Li breaks his leg atthe end of one of the fight!
I always wanted to see paco vs Chong li
Brings back memories of my childhood. 😊
I really like the precision of Dux's (Van Damme's) style.
They have the option to think but not to fight. The aerobic and anaerobic as to walk is excelent for to think more better.
Paco could've won if he'd just gone in for the kill after the cheap shot.
This movie came out in 1988 and it is one of the MOST !!!!!!! best movie ever Jean claude - Van Damme is perfect for the movie , the sound track is perfect as well i still watch this movie till this day and i always will .....
Fun fact Paco retired from fighting and moved to LA he joined Popeyes gang in Blood In Blood Out 🫡
You told me you were broke….
Give me the chon chon!
Lols! Brilliant!!!
This is a really great and completely fictitious film.
Paco probably had Bruce Springsteen as his Shidoshi.
Bolo Yeung is the man.
Toda vez que ele ia lutar , ele olhava pro chong li , uma espécie de rivalidade desde do começo.
The music builds and they’re trading kicks to the body. Makes my spine tingle
gay
Great scene in a great movie!
This movie was my first exposure to Forest Whitaker Eye
Love the music
10 sec and JCVD on the floor. New world record for Paco!
Paolo Tocha, the Thai Boxer was a real champion, he is the first foreigner to compete in China and win. He also had many fights in Thailand
This and 'The Quest' are my favorite Van Damme films.
bloodsport, then kixboxer, wrong bet, in hell, the quest, death warrant; cyborg
I practice box and Muay Thai. My idol is Van Damme. The more I learn about this stuff, the more I admire Van Damme and dislike Seagal. Kickboxing vs Muay Thai, I think on average Thai is better. Nice movie though
Nunca
Bolo had all but 3 lines in the whole movie. Only he could pull that off.
Paco was tweaking 😂
Funny how Van Dam remembering this in his old age, as if he really was in secret Kumite, will be more realistic than Frank Deux’s experience, whom this story is allegedly based on.
Don't know who else noticed...Chong Lee is actually hoping Frank dux would lose and cheering on all his opponents:)
Classic scene.
Super Film
❤this movie
Paco was a worthy adversary.
Paco goes to the trouble to lure him in for a cheap shot and then just stands back and twitches while letting him recover.
He didn't want to make it too obvious
Paco defeated Tong Po and sought out the man who heat him.
I wonder who would have won between Paco and Chung Li
Jean Claude is jacked in this movie.
hell yeah

Remember Dux defeating the huge guy by striking him in the nuts? I tried to imagine him against Chung Lee. Who'd win?
몽골거인은 한국의 이청을 이깁니다.
word has it, paco is still twitching his head
the funniest thing about Forest Whitaker in this movie is how (earlier) he's so eager to go up against Jean-Claude
Everybody was at school doing the knuckle bump then kicks to the shins after watching this scene. Everybody got to school fighting like paco
Badass 3 hit combos
Yeah, you take turns kicking each others ribs - that makes sense and it's why you always see them do that in UFC, lol.
