Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST as Bloodsport finally gets its long-awaited turn on All the Right Movies!
A member of my Top 50 Sports Movies series, this chopsocky classic which put Jean Claude Van Damme on the map, easily tops the sports movie charts in the category of Illegal Underground Hong Kong No Holds Barred Tournaments.
Any red-blooded male with cable in the 80’s watched this show about 50 times minimum and discussed just how quickly they could get a new hand-painted flip-sign up showing the new Kumite world record for fastest knockout.
This movie set the stage for so much which came after. UFC? Please. All they did was throw up a cage instead of letting someone win by pushing their opponent off the mat. Oberyn “The Red Viper” getting his head squashed on Game of Thrones after celebrating too early?
Completely ripped off from Ray Jackson getting head stomped by Chong Li after doing the same damn thing.
As always, the movie’s eligible categories will by ranked by their equivalent Nebraska Cornhuskers coaching legend (or Mike Riley) categories. Tune in by clicking the link above and be ready to chime in to the comments -
