Forged by fire, a beast in the night.
The short version
- If you haven't seen Bloodsport, stop what you're doing and watch Bloodsport Jean-Claude Van Damme gets a bad rap.
- Due to when he got famous and the sorts of movies that he usually makes, JCVD often gets lumped in with other B-tier '80s action stars like Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris , which does Van Damme a disservice.
- 1988's Bloodsport isn't Van Damme's first film, but it is the movie that put him on the cinematic map.
What happened
More importantly, it provided a blueprint for both Van Damme's career and mid-budget action movies that would last for decades. If you've ever enjoyed a film in which one guy spin-kicks another guy, it's worth taking 92 minutes to watch Bloodsport , which is a genuine classic in the genre.
Why it matters
It's currently free with ads on YouTube.
