Summary: 3 stars for the story
Review: First id like to say that I think this movie would have been one of the best martial arts movies if only the fight choreagraphy were better, because it is very bad at some times.
incredibly enough, Van Damme does a good job acting (and looking stupid in slowmotion scenes). However the best thing about this movie is the story, based on the true events in the life of Frank Dux. Before the end text I thought this was a real B-movie, and it is in fact. But now that i understand the story behind the movie, it aint soo bad anymore. another good thing is the soundtrack. Also.. in the last fight sequence, am I the only one who noticed that the moves Van Damme does are very similar to the ones he uses in the last fight in the movie "Kickboxer"?
Thats very poor by Van Damme. He did the fight choreagraphy in this movie as well didnt he? In general this movie is not worth bying (maybe renting) if you want a good martial arts flick. Go see some Jet Li movie instead

Summary: A classic movie of the 1980's
Review: The first thing id like to say is, This dvd is not in dolby digital 5.1, its a 2.0 stereo track, It says on the dvd box that its 5.1 ..., The picture on this dvd is superb, It was alot better then I expected it to be, The only bad thing that I can say about this dvd is that I wish it would have been in 5.1 audio but still this dvd is worth it, Get this movie now because they probably arent gonna make alot of them, Either you think bloodsport is the best movie you've ever seen, Or its the worst one

Summary: The most quotable movie I know
Review: This receives 5 stars, not quite based on cinematic quality (lord knows!), but on stupid fun quotient and quotability. From gems like "What's it matter if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?" to "Very good, but brick not hit back", this charmer of a screenplay delivers cheesy retors and threats like the UPS guy drinking a speed-and-skittles milkshake. The kung fu action is meritable, and the great Oscar clip of Van Damme (the Bruce Lee of 1987 kung fu biopics about Kumite fighting) holding his eyes from a dusting of poisonous enriched flour by the hands of D-cup Bolo Yeung is classic, right up there with Rocky's "ADRIAN!" and that movie with that guy in it about drugs or something. What was that movie? It's a classic, I think. Do you know? Wasn't it directed by David Keith? He's dreamy. So, buy this classic. Today. Drop everything you're doing, even if it's breastfeeding your new born calf. Buy "Bloodsport," then sit back and enjoy with a Colt 45 and some yogurt-dipped almonds. You'll be glad you did. And remember, "OKAY, USA!!"

Summary: Way past due on DVD
Review: A great martial arts flick As noted, this movie was JeanClaude Van Damme's first starring role, and for my money one of his two best films. He portrays Frank Dux, an American champion of the Kunite, which was/is a full contact, anything goes martial arts competition. The movie introduces us to Van Damme's incredible martial arts ability. The story line is simple and unremarkable but effective. Van Damme participates in the Kumite against the wishes of the government which trained him. The cast is certainly unremarkable, led by Bolo Yueng, first(?) seen in "Enter the Dragon", playing Chong Li, the film's key villain and kumite champ. What makes the film, though for martial artists (and fans) is the incredible range of fighting techniques seen through the film. Some of them are great, some comical. But there is a ton of action (much of it predictably brutal). But for fans of the genre, it is highly recommended.

Summary: IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Review: I had been waiting for this DVD to come out since I first got a DVD player a couple years ago. This is one of the best American Martial Art films ever made. It's also the movie that immortalized Jean-Claud Van Damme, and it's defiantly the best movie he has ever stared in. If you are into martial arts, this is a must own movie. It's great to watch all the various styles of Martial Arts, and the characters are great, including a villain from Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. It does very good to stay honest to the various styles of fighting, and the fact it's mostly all filmed in Hong Kong adds a lot. Great fighting, and it has a lot of funny moments. This it's must own, classic action movie.

Summary: Van Damme's Best Movie
Review: If you are like me, you aren't much of a karate-movie fan. But out of all the martial arts films, I'd rank this one at the top of the genre. In my opinion, this film is much better than any of the Bruce Lee movies (bought myself an "Enter the Dragon" DVD because of all the hype, and threw it away the next few weeks). The acting is kind of dull and unprofessional at times, but this was Van Damme's first movie...he put heart into it and it shows. I wouln't recommend any other Van Damme movies, as he does karate in all of them for no good reason at all. For example, why in the world would you karate inside some Sci-Fi movie...that Cyborg film was dumb and I don't want to remember its title. You have waited over a decade for this movie to finally come out on DVD format, so go get it now. And for the soundtrack, what can I say? This film has one of the very best composed music, yet Warner Bros refuses to manufacture CD soundtracks for it. You will rarely find them offered for sale on Ebay, selling for big bucks even for USED copies. If Warner can make DVDs for this film, it can also crank out CDs for it. The company needs to seriously take a look at the Completed Items history on Ebay and check how many customers are waiting to purchase the soundtrack for this film, even after all these years. Forget all the hype people, this is The Martial Arts Movie, and we fans need that soundtrack CD please please please!

Summary: Van Damme's first and best
Review: Bloodsport is a movie that every Martial Arts fan has seen or at least heard of. This movie was Van Damme's first starring role in which he portrays real life martial artist Frank Dux, an American who was the undefeated heavyweight champion of the kumite from 1975 to 1980 (don't quote me though). The reason this movie was so great was that it showcased Jean-Claude's martial arts and gymnastic prowess rather than his sub-par acting ability. The story was simple but effective: a shady and brutal Martial Arts tournament is being held in Hong Kong and Dux (Van Damme) is going to participate to honor his shidoshi and surrogate father Senzou Tanaka. Leah Ayres and Donald Gibb did an average job of playing Van Damme's cohorts. But who really shines in this film is Bolo Yueng who did a great job in playing Chong Li, the film's key villain and kumite champ. Paul Hertzog did a great job with the soundtrack, which fuels the movie's many fight scenes. This is probably Van Damme's best film. ... Overall, Bloodsport delivers plenty of action with a decent story and is an enjoyable film. I would reccommend it to any Martial Arts fan.
