Based on a true story. “A rocking, socking martial arts saga.”

Bloodsport takes you where few films have ever gone – inside the hidden Hong Kong arena where elite combatants clash in Kumite, the little-known but hotly contested world championship of full-contact fighting. No Westerner had ever won this single-elimination, battle-royal tournament until the arrival of an iron-willed American named Frank Dux.

Jean Claude Van Damme (Hard Target, Double Impact) exploded onto the action-movie scene in his first starting role as Dux – and fans haven’t caught their breath since. The role is tailor-made for the box-office favorite’s appealing mix of physique, charm and martial-arts expertise.

Bloodsport pulses with the excitement of one-on-one competition – and the drive of a man who refuses to lose. Because when Van Damme’s Dux steps onto the mat, Bloodsport isn’t just a sport. It’s a war!
