You cannot name a more SOLVFUL martial arts movie. Quit it. Just give up. You cannot do it without resorting to mega levels of cope. Bloodsport is just the peak of martial arts movies.

>inb4 muh enter the dragon
No
You are correct.
No, it's great, but doesn't have the soul that Bloodsport sports, sport.
The part where all the fighters got free b***hes to frick and the last guy picked the madame herself was SOVL, tho
that felt like a Bond movie. It was great.
Chong Li?
Did nothing wrong.
YOU ARE NEX
>Did nothing wrong.
Cept got fricked up by Dux
>Cheating
>During an underground yet secular and respectable tournament
>Not wrong
Hurr durr
>During an underground yet secular and respectable tournament
This is what always blows my mind. In my memory, Bloodsport is brutal and insane with violence. In reality only like one guy dies and the judges grumble shamefully.
Because he kills him well after the fight is over?
He overtrained his pecs reducing his hand speed and stamina. Other than that you are right.
Best of the Best comes close, but yeah Bloodsport is king.
Best of the best is great. What about 2, tho? I liked it, tho it was different. Lil homie with the ponytail that had the diamond on the end was kino.
>TOMMY NO!
Boyka is not impressed. Boyka from Undisputed 3, specifically.
Soul and realism are not the same thing man
I cringed every time he called himself the ultimate fighter.
T. Not the most complete fighter in the world
You guys should actually watch The Ultimate Fighter season 1. It is reality kino of the highest order.
always loved Diego Sanchez. he was such a warrior. RIP Stefan. Forrest got him but holy shit what a fight
The first season of Power Slap that just finished up really capture those early TUF vibes. Was way better than I expected it to be.
I'd rather watch WMAC Masters. Its basically WWE, but it features a bunch of actors from Mortal Kombat.
It's not just kino, its mega kino.
I met chuck and forrest and they both seemed like good dudes
Bloodsport is king but the final battle is a little underwhelming
I always felt the final battle was epic
Chong Li who killed his buddy threw everything at him and still lost and was made to submit like a b***h. Dying would have been better for him, but Dux made him say sorry like a b***h on the floor and destroyed his reputation forever.
He didn't kill his buddy. Just put him in the hospital. Pff, you can't kill Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds.
>whoops his fricking ass whilst blinded
>underwhelming
yeah right
>Bloodsport is king but the final battle is a little underwhelming
Wait, is that a joke?
Runner up?
This guy's videos online are pure soul.
link to said videos?
Here you go, there's lots more.
talking of soulful videos, mohammed qissi (who plays Paredes) is a great guy too
Lionheart is way more sovlful. And it really makes me think you don't know frick all about b-tier euro/american chopsocky action films of late-80s and early-90s to say otherwise.
Lionheart isn't even a good movie
You made... the Wrong Bet
Rocky?
You dumb frick.
Everybody wanna piss on Sylvester Stallone.
Rocky is not as good as Bloodsport. Deal with it.
Also Stallone cut out the real ending. What a doof.
He lost an epic fight yet won in the end with the love in his arms. Heavy heavy Greek mythos. What did Bloodsport do?
When it came out people actually thought Frank Dux went and fought in the kumite among other insane tales he told the public. The guy is a legend for all the wrong reasons.
.....What if he was telling the truth? I mean, wouldn't they all deny it?
This is my head-canon, no one will change it. The events in Bloodsport happened and are more real than anyone reading this.
>He lost an epic fight yet won in the end with the love in his arms
Name 3 greek myths with this typology
That's the beauty. He copied yet made original.
Y'all sleep on Sly.. I swear.
I'd put them on equal footings, the real Frank Dux story is absolutely hilarious and Rocky produced multiple kinos
I'll accept that.
Because you're a bargaining wienertard always desperate to appease. Rocky is a proper film, Bloodsport is a fun action flick.
They are absolutely different films. Rocky is a bit more subdued, a heartwarming film about a lowly peasant boxer, its a much more universal film. Bloodsport is full on bombastic through and through, its a wild 80s ride. I love both films though, and i'd have to agree with
>You cannot name a more SOLVFUL martial arts movie.
Please...
I really was not expecting the rape part of the story lel
Its just so that Tong Po is even more nasty and evil
shut up cuck
Frank Dux is fraud and larper but that has nothing to do with the movie or story
Undefeatable.
Checkmate
for me ,its Ong Bak
was gonna suggest this.
The one that takes place in the past though
Ong Bak and The Protector are both fricking awesome fight movies.
>'based on a true story'
>guy it's about just made it all up
Just like cocaine bear
it's literally true
all of it.
Future Cops is the most SOVVPULL martial arts movie ever made. Give it up OP, you'll never win.
warrior (2011)
ENTER
Kickboxer is kino too and full of soul. Everything JCVD did was soulful...including JCVD which is top shelf kino
Jean Claude Van Johnson is great, wish they made more seasons of it.
>JCVD cucked by a Black person within the first few episodes
great scene. a lot of heart went into making movies like this
>yeahhh
Old Jackie movies were so good, my mom would let me stay up late only for them.
>pic
The Quest is underrated JCVD kino.
You cannot overcome this soul
Bloodsport, Double Impact, The Quest and Kickboxer is peak JCVD
don't forget TimeCop. man he has tons of kino I really miss him
Are there any movies that have a Dragonball tournament arc structure to them? like where all their characters get their individual fights to shine and there's a clear progression of winners facing off against each other as they progress? I watched Enter the Dragon thinking it would be that but the tournament in that movie just seemed kinda haphazard, a secondary part of the plot and not fun to watch. The Quick and the Dead felt more like what I'm looking for but that was a quickdraw torunament
Another JCVD joint fits that bill (if I remember correctly).
It's similar to MK but I think it keeps more of the tourney structure and has less fights outside the ring.
Seconding this, man that bit when they're in thailand with the Elephants ascending to the tournament is so comfy.
holy shit I forgot about Sudden Death and Hard Target...has Jean Claude really made nothing but absolute kino? 15-0 record too the dude could have been middleweight champion of the world if he didn't leave martial arts.
Street fighter was a disaster but Jean Claude almost saved it. he does not miss even with his newer eastern European movies. The Equalizer with Denzel was based off a jean claude movie called 6 seconds. (or 6 bullets, something like that). so was Taken
Oh man..the Bouncer too. The last two uni sols were actually epic as frick too and I'm keen for his new one darkness of man; you're right- anything JCVD shoots in Bulgaria turns to gold...ill check out the six bullets
The first Mortal Kombat movie tbh
pure soul I love that movie
The first Universal Soldier is another good Van Damme flick.
Steal the Night.
>Don't make me use 50, 000 voltz on you Frank.
In terms of american movies i think Bloodsport ranks pretty high if not being the best
Half the movie was made by HK chinks tho so it's kind of cheating
Without Bolo the movie wouldn't be 50% as good.
Without the choreographer who was a Lau Kar-leung student it wouldn't be 50% as good either
>wall to wall moronic genius camera work
It is but normalgays cannot see it for what it is, shame about all the cut content as the ending was supposed to be a mayhem with multiple fights
I heard so much about it I expected it to be a good movie. Need to give it another try as a B movie.
First jean claude van damme movie i saw, knock off is fricking insane and is just wall wall moronic genius camera work
For ME?
Dux vs Paco
KUMITE KUMITE KUMITE
My body's ready, my hearts on fire, i'm gonna push it over the wire, perfect timing, tight as a drum, final battle's already won
Im taking hold of every moment, Given strength by the breath of life,
Im gonna stake my claim
I FIGHT TO SURVIVE
if my fellow Jean Claudebros haven't seen this you should watch it. It's really good. a film.
Pure garbage.
Filtered.
Exposed.
Cleaned
>It's really good
His very best but late-nite Bmovie homos disdain it for trying to be narrative-driven
Raul Julia and Van Damme's acting roles, both for the good and for the bad, made the movie rewatchable. A shame because there were many decent actors and stuntmen there (Wes Studi, Damian Chapa, Jet Urquidez, Van Damme, Charlie Picerni) but too many small scenes and not enough good dialogue, it's obvious the movie was an improv work due to losing the G.I. Joe license.
Double Team, israelites hated Rodman for jumping the waiting line and becoming a leading role despite said move being made by Menahem hence the banter about his acting but he did it better than many who call themselves actors.
Aesthetically this is one of his best films. I like the stunts and the villain is awesome.
Wich one is the one with dennis rodman?that was a good movie too
Double Take and it's kino AF
Kumite Day 1
I wonder if these types of tournaments really exist. I bet they do
You've never been to Thailand I can see
I haven't you're correct. been a lot of places but I've never been to Asia. this shit really happens?
What do you mean by "this shit"?
you know what I mean... tournaments where they fight to the death. why even ask that lol
You fight to potential death in any real combat sport. 1 kick or punch can land in such a way that you just die on the spot. It has happened
Well..aside from the world class muay thai fighters everywhere theres mma clubs in the back alleys of phuket I saw some Lethwei and pretty ruthless grappling.
Thailand is cool if your into that sort of stuff, you can live and stay really well for cheap.
My bro Golden One has been to Thailand.
No
Police Story is my favorite martial arts kino
>Cinemaphile loves JCVD
faith in the board restored
So lets be honest here,Jackie Chan is the action movies goat but where would jcvd rank on a list?
JCVD is way above him. I love Jackie but seriously? I'd put Seagal above Chan
>seagal over Jackie
Come on now lol
Rumble in the Bronx.... uh what else? Rush hours were great but really? Jean has like 10 kinos better than that
Who am I
Police story 1 and 2
Drunken master 1 and 2
Crime story
Super cop
Would even argue for shangai noon
Don't forget
>Kung Fu Panda
>Kung Fu Panda 2
>Kung Fu Panda 3
>uh what else?
Chan made more kino than Seagal in a single year: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master
Turn the subtitles on you dumb Black person
no. kek.
>I will NOT turn the subtitles on
>I will NOT watch the kino
>I will NOT support dog-eaters
Pretty strong position not gonna lie
Thunderbolt is criminally underrated.
>Jackie Chan is the action movies goat
Debatable, Gordon Lau is up there with him and Sammo Hung, maybe Lu Feng, Donnie Yen and Hwang Lee too if they had a more varied work. Jackie Chan is very flashy but at no moment he looks like he could whoop your rear like those in some of their movies. Lau Kar-leung if you count directing is the absolute GOAT.
The problem with western action stars, in terms of hand-to-hand combat movies, is the choreography which is a shame because americans have tons of actual good fighters but seems none with the training or IQ. Van Damme contrasted in that he participated with chink choreographers and has some knowledge in flashy moves as he knows a slow predictable kick is more attractive than a sharp fast one, hence his much higher quality aesthetically speaking.
The problem with Van Damme is that he insisted on making the fight choreography as slow as possible in his movies. Why? I don't know. Maybe he thought it made the scenes more dramatic. I'm not a fan of super fast fight scenes, but shit like Lionheart was like watching him fight in molasses.
The Quest is by far the best. It's old-school adventure-heist with Roger Moore, but also has a martial tournament with street fighter vibes, all set in the 30's or so. Fricking underrated.
>Mogs the frick out of your Belgian Chouffe movie
Nothin personnel kid.
What the frick is going on with technology, I haven't seen this movie since the 90's but after posting this here I went onto Tubi TV and it was the first movie in queue.
Hiragana Nagasaki must be selling our details to some shady fricks WTF
Where're my Death Warrant chads at.
This had good atmosphere and was a borderline horror movie.
The friend character was based. I sort of wish they got to fight but getting revenge on Chong Li was also nice.
The small chinaman guide? pretty cool character
The "Springsteen as shidoshi" is as israeli as it gets in the movie, very weird considering Bruce isn't even on radio air outside the U.S.
The soundtrack is legendary. It makes 80% of the movie imo. Also, there are so many little details that you don't notice the first time around. For example, just watch some of the fighter's reactions in the background during some of the fights.
Also, just before the "You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend!" part, there's a poor Chinese guy in the crowd he looks like he's about to pass out. He appears, disappears, then reappears in the next shot.
This is what Street Fighter or other fighting game movies should have been like. It's not rocket science. Show an actual fricking tournament, build a little bit of story and character shit around that. How hard is it? Some lying fake ninja homosexual can dream it up.
*blocks your path*
>And then, for no reason at all, Japan surrendered and China won WW2.
I am Yulaw! I am nobody's b***h. You, are mine.
I NEED a sequel to this film. NEED it.

The Quest is better just because it really showed how much bullshit he talks about that he really believes
Ya'll be shitting on Steven Segal but Van Damme literally believes in there being a secret world fighting tournament that his friend was invited to
>Van Damme literally believes in there being a secret world fighting tournament that his friend was invited to
Can you give me one reason why this is unbelievable?
>that his friend was invited to
There you go. As requested. You're welcome.
I believe him and in his friend
>fastest kick in 0.3223811183 milliseconds
Then you're literally moronic.
My hypothetical moronation has no bearing on the truthfulness of Van Damme's claims
Your actual moronation does though.
Bitch
Black person-loving israelite homosexual.
My nose is smaller than yours and my skin lighter.
Van Damme said Dux was pants on head moronic but that he is a great storyteller
And that secret tournaments exist, just like secret most anything you want also do
Dux was full of shit about his achievements but why wouldn't high profile underground fighting rings exist? It would be a great gambling racket.
It does exist. We have those in Colombia. I've been a couple of times and chatted with one of the fighters. He usually works as bouncer and makes like 100 USD per fight
>because you acknowledge shitty underground fight clubs exist it means that Mr. Dux really did fight in a magical lost city that never appears to outsiders unless they have a mystical invite
trolls, they never cease to amaze me
It got lost in the retelling. Yes, they used to organise fights in places like Hong Kong on the water far away from not-so-easily-bribed police. So they'd attach a bunch of boats together Presto: magical lost "city". Shit like that still happens today, and without an invite, you are not fighting. Technology!
I mean, I'm not sure who is more guillable. People who believe the exaggerated version, or you. I mean, you're a prime mark, like no shit.
He did. I've been to that city because I'm a master of the Dem Mack.
I can kill a man by twisting one of his nipples, so you'd better watch out.
How is this news even? Illegal bare knuckle fights are an actual thing. What, you think MMA is the pinnacle of underground fighting or some shit? What are you, 12?
>literally believes in there being a secret world fighting tournament
yeah because Backyard Wrestling and Street Beefs prove that kinda thing is unpossible...
The locations don't exist anymore
shit was insane
How did they manage to evict so many people?
Forcing them to take a better deal in some tiny apartments, cutting all services too
They didn't.
>B-BRITAIN DID THIS!!!
cope and seethe
they just dont make SOVL like they used to
The defense of Van Damme's moronation is pretty funny
>Dux was moronic and lied we know
>buuuuttttt like underground fights exist
holy shit, how did people go from 'Van Damme believed Dux about it being a global sponsored fight tournament in some hidden city in China that nobody ever heard of and only backtracked when exposed' to 'bruh it was just a small fight club in downtown Harlem or some shit'
>buuuuttttt like underground fights exist
I know for a fact underground sex clubs and secret track race competitions exist, why not an underground secret "two dudes kicking each others' shit up" club exist?
>only backtracked when exposed
In The Quest DVD he and some others said they distrusted Dux after seeing he wasn't better than them in terms of speed or even technique. That was back in 1996 and not in the early 00's when every hobbyist mag was calling out Frank
>it was really a small club
no honey, no
See, Mr. Dux, actually convinced Van Damme that it was in a forbidden city
Now, nobody is arguing in Harlem or wherever Van Damme beat up bums for a few bucks that these street fighting clubs exist but rather that Van Damme's magical invisible city to foreigners exists
let's focus on the reality and not on what you want to troll about
Who are you quoting friendo

I've never gotten more than 2-3 replies to my Bloodsport threads.
I was gonna post some HK, but you know what? I love JCVD too damn much to shit up such a rare thread, so here is the glorious mullet in action instead.
for me it's fanat
for me it's dragons forever
I think Kickboxer is more kino
Underrated JCVD kino. Doesn't have much actual martial arts but when I see threads asking for prison kino and everyone mentions Shot Caller, Felon, etc I always wonder why this one never gets mentioned.
is it possible to get a body like JCVD without roiding? it looks way more achievable than the average gym rat i see where it looks like their bodies are gonna explode
Yes, but those shots are probably done with dehydrating the person as well to really give the ripped look.
the music is top notch
i am sick of manlets thinking they're hot shit. media inflated their egos
ohhhh you mad lanklet?
>zane frasier straight up assaulted frank dux while trying to bully him into signing up for the UFC1
So, how would Frank have performed against dudes like ken Shamrock or Royce Gracie?
he would have dimmaked their insides, blindfolded
Makes sense, he used all his kumite prize money to pay for the hospital bills of the guys he fought after all.
imagine he could dimmak my prostate :3
for me its when hes doing his chicken scratches during a match and kicking that guy in the face rapidly
It was a cool movie and maybe I've just become pozzed but when I first saw it I was fricking convinced that Van dame was going kiss that guy in the hospital scene.
