We conclude this year's exciting March-ial Arts Madness run with writer/director/producer Sheldon Lettich (Bloodsport, Lionheart, Double Impact, Only the Strong), who blew us away with his stories about serving our country as a US Marine in Vietnam, being "the man behind Jean-Claude Van Damme", and his new biography, Sheldon Lettich: From Vietnam to Van Damme, written by Corey Danna (click the link to purchase).\nSheldon has had a hand in countless films from the 80's and 90's, including Russkies,\xa0Rambo III, The Order, Perfect Target, The Last Patrol\xa0with Dolph Lundgren, and\xa0Only the Strong\xa0with Mark Dacascos. You will also hear about how he saved the film, Cyborg. We go deep!\nWe discuss his first short film, "Firefight" (1986), which helped launch the careers of future notables, Brian Thompson, brothers Phillip and Simon Rhee, and the real Frank Dux (who Bloodsport is based on). The film has been remastered and can be watched for free over on Viking Samurai's YouTube channel.\nAnd speaking of Frank Dux, while it is now common knowledge that he was a fraud and most of Bloodsport was a lie, you will definitely want to hear Sheldon's take on the real Frank.\nSheldon also announces that a Special Edition Blu-ray of Bloodsport is coming out soon!\nAnd to hear our patrons amazing questions for Sheldon, check out our exclusive Patreon segment, "$2, 6 Questions".\nwww.patreon.com/twodollarlatefee\n\nOrder t-shirts and stickers mentioned in previous episodes from Preserved Dragons here!
