Bloodsport (1988)

Published: Feb. 21, 2023, 9 a.m.

In 1988 the Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme, appeared in his first leading role as Frank Dux, the first American fighter to win the Kumite. And as the end credits indicate this movie was based on the true events of Frank Dux life, who fought and won 329 matches between 1975 and 1980, was an undercover CIA operative who entered the Kumite to take down the Japanese mob, the Yakuza, and who with one arm tied behind his back beat up Chuck Norris. And while none of that may be true, it certainly won't stop us from loving Bloodsport and spending the next hour talking about it. So grab your ringside seat, place your bets, and get ready because today on Buzzn The Tower we talk all things Bloodsport. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Ray Jackson to my Frank Dukes, Max Sanders and with that…Kumite, Kumite, Kumite, Kumite!
