New month, new genre. And this one KICKS BUTTS! Join Phillip and Michael as they dive headfirst into JUNE CLAUDE VAN DAMME with Bloodsport!
Frank Dux: LIAR
Bloodsport was released on February 26th, 1988 and kickstarted the burgeoning career of a young Jean Claude van Damme. During this time period, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were considered the reigning champs of action films. But as the 1980s continued into the 1990s, two action stars showed up to challenge Arnie and Sly: JCVD and Steven Seagal. These are two of the most controversial action stars. Some people would say Van Damme is the best. Sadly, some (including Michael) would say Seagal is the best.
This month, we are all about JCVD. We're starting it all off with one of his most classic films. Bloodsport was based on the story of Frank Dux. Now, Frank Dux is a real person. His story of fighting in an underground tournament in the Kowloon Walled City? Probably (almost certainly) false!
Either way, it's a classic. Check it out!
