Review of Bloodsport (1988) by S P — 25 Feb 2011
It embodies what late 20th century movies had to offer in terms of engaging excitement, overall cinematography, and believable fighting with more than just 1 skilled superstar owning many others. It has most the elements of a great fighting movie. Some of the fighters are lacking in presentation but those guys are always there in a tournament.
Why does this movie have such a low rating? The critics are afraid. They wince at blood and at what a good fighting movie this is for the audience. Compare it to any other fighting movie. Go ahead. You won't find a better full contact fight movie by JCVD or anyone else in all out fighting.
**One a final note, you cannot compare this to some of the Asian martial arts movies of the 21 century. The pure skill level and understanding by MULTIPLE cast members is of a different caliber in those movies; Way ahead of this movie's time.
