Let's decide this once & for all. Bloodsport vs Kickboxer

[OmegaK2099]

This is tuff, but Bloodsport VHS had more replay value in my crib, back then

...Van Damme in Kickboxing, tho

84 Baby/90s Kid

At that being muay Thai

At least the master and tong po kept coming back in all of them, except for the last one where it looked like he was claymated, sequel was decent but damn they threw van dammes character in the bushes, all we got was a shytty flashback to tong po shooting him in the rain, part 2 also had shang tsung in it

that was the biggest cop out of a reason to end van dame's character..i was pissed!
the 3rd and 4th kickboxer's were funny not in a nice way of putting it, hilarious.

man I remember when the bloodsport clones were pouring out every year post bloodsport; don the dragon Wilson etc were in their crappy versions. I did appreciate BloodFight with the legendary Yasuaki Kurata and also Bolo yeung.

Yeah I liked that one with bolo and the head karate student from cobra Kai. I can't remember what that one was called but they put bolo in a cage where it was a fight to the death and weapons were allowed. They put mark dacoscas in the kickboxer series way too late

Man I need to see if this video store has that, they got a whole bunch of B Movies

If I cant find it, watching it on yt aint that bad, the first is dope idk about the sequels




I actually liked Best of the Best 2 better than the first, with phillip rhee aka Liu Kang in that underground tournament with wayne newton as the bad guy

Bloodsport off the strength of Bolo alone.

My dad said any movie with Bolo is automatically 5 stars

So I feel it's my duty to place this vote for bloodsport

I dig best of the best 2 than the original..the villain dude is scary n shyt well not scary as Khan (king of the kickboxer..dope flick).

No lie this is Van Damme's best movie IMO. shyt was really slept on.

Lionheart is up there but Double Impact & Universal Soldier are close rivals

The concept of the Kumite was dope especially when they brought in UFC in the early 90's back when it was no rules and no weight division, just two guys claiming to be bad mothafukkas fighting

I miss the tradition in early UFC where you would see every discipline represented from the gi to the kata.."MMA" is so oversaturated that everybody looks and fights exactly the same that u can almost see a armbar or choke out comin by the 2nd round lol

Bloodsport by a hair only b/c of the Soundtrack

Ufc should change their theme to Fight to Survive

 

[R-Typ3]

Still one of my favorite fights.. no wires, no cgi, just just straight up skill and raw em otion

For everybody new to John Woo's style back then it made Van Damme look even cooler but now it just makes his fights look slower and stiffer lol
