In this case less story is a good thing because it means more screen time dedicated to good action scenes.
Very entertaining, I Watched it a hundred times back in the days and still find it enjoyable.
Soundtrack score is also very good

Bloodsport is a 1988 film starring Jean Claude Van Damme. Anybody who hated Kickboxer should watch Bloodsport instead because the fightscenes are so much better directed and very impressive. An entertaining film all through! Great movie.

Jean Claude Van Dammes best movie with some very good fighting scenes in an interesting tournament. But the fighting scenes could be more realistic and the many story scenes were poor.

Extremely fun and surprisingly well cut with decent pacing. Much of the choreography and dialogue has aged poorly and the direction is b movie at best. A great opening vehicle for JVCD. Its interesting to see how much this inspired some of the videogames that came out after this. Expand

Awful acting, plot, script - but serviceable martial arts combat. Unfortunately not real combat, and certain cuts & camera angles make it apparent it is simulated.

This is like many of the other poorly acted Kung Fu films of its predecessor.

I'm here to enjoy an 80's cult classic film and that's exactly what you get.

I loved this movie so much, Although it’s predictable, cheesy, and it feels a bit rushed, the story of the movie felt very cool and overall great, not a cinematic piece of history but a good movie for an afternoon chill party

When they are kicking and screaming its fine.
