Bloodsport

Can affection and bondage lead a man to live an art that he never imagined excelling in? Detailing the life of Frank W. Dux, Bloodsport puts the protagonist in the shoes of ace martial artist (US). Jean-Claude Van Damme (protagonist), gets placed in the pit of Kumite, a fighting tournament where 'anything goes', to honor the dying of Shingo. Shingo's father Tanaka, a master in the art, prepares Frank.

Will Frank be able to learn the art that requires one to put the pain and worry of death aside? Will he be able to destroy the best men at work? Can he bring some solace to his master, who is distraught after his only son's death? All these questions come advancing with rejuvenating answers that are governed by the powerful performance of Van Damme. Bloodsport, with its DVD release on October 1, 2002, has acquired a cult status, and is considered a masterpiece in the defining career of Van Damme, helping him buy more popularity and glory in the later years.
