Jean-Claude Van Damme (Acteur belge): Résultats France". jpbox-office.com (in French) . Retrieved 31 December 2022. On June 12, 2018, the film received a special edition Blu-ray from MVD Entertainment Group as part of their "MVD Rewind" line, to which Van Damme and Lettich have personnally collaborated. It contains a version that Lettich calls "very close to the Director's Cut [he] had originally turned in to the producers." [3] [13] Reception [ edit ]

No. In the movie Bloodsport, Jean-Claude Van Damme's character is a valuable U.S. Military Operative who tries to evade two military police agents so that he can fight in the Kumite. Contrary to internet gossip and unsubstantiated allegations, no evidence exists of the real Frank Dux having directly claimed he worked for the CIA or military as an in-expendable agent, as depicted in the movie. Some of the misconceptions undoubtedly come from the cover of Frank Dux's memoir, The Secret Man: An American Warrior's Uncensored Story. Dux says that the publisher misrepresented him on the cover. He alleges that he only worked as a contract agent for the CIA and was never a card-carrying member. Liebenson, Donald (11 February 1999). "A Direct Hit? New Van Damme Film Bypasses Theaters, Takes Battle Straight to Video". Chicago Tribune . Retrieved 22 December 2010. Dux found himself entered in the International Fighting Arts Association (I.F.A.A.) competition because his instructor, a Japanese man named Senzo Tanaka, had participated in past events. After performing well enough in smaller kumite matches held by the I.F.A.A., the organization granted him an invitation to the international event. Jean-Claude Van Damme runs this movie; he owns it. He's the reason it's good stuff. I've hated Van Damme ever since I heard the name of both the actor and the movies he was in, although this is the kind of film that makes you consider the star in a whole new way. He's actually very, very good in this film. Here, the actor displays emotions that I never knew he had; and he gives his character both depth and substance. I liked this movie, and Van Damme was enough to entertain. I won't say it's amazing, since it's not, but as a character study, it's mighty damn fine. I don't think it's worth it to discuss any of the other actors because frankly, Van Damme is the star of the movie, and his performance should be the center of attention. Whether you like the "Muscles from Brussels" or not, you'll probably end up liking this movie. Take it for what it is.Corcoran, John; Farkas, Emil (1988). Martial Arts: Traditions, History, People.

The real Frank Dux sued Soldier of Fortune Magazine for defamation of character after they praised B.G. Burkett's book (see above) and published a photo of Lance Corporal Dux wearing Navy jump wings and four rows of ribbons headed by a Navy Cross, calling him a wannabe. Dux says that he and Soldier of Fortune publisher Robert K. Brown were intending to launch similar movie projects, and that Brown wanted to discredit his competition so that his own project would succeed ( jameshom.com). In his court declaration, Dux explained the photo of himself in the Marine costume by stating, "…it was snapped on my way to a fraternity costume party, when I was still in college or shortly, thereafter." This fact is corroborated in Dux's complaint by the declaration of Jeff Stromph, one of several eyewitnesses who attended the party ( Dux Declaration, Dux vs. Soldier of Fortune Magazine). In 2010, Van Damme directed himself in the barely released Full Love. That same year, he turned down the role of Gunner Jensen in the first instalment of The Expendables and the role went to Dolph Lundgren. [79]

Universal Soldier". Chicago Sun-Times. 10 July 1992. Archived from the original on 27 September 2012 . Retrieved 21 May 2011. Unsurprisingly then, for an action junkie like myself, when the final confrontation between Stallone and JVCD finally happens, it felt like Christmas day as a kid again. I’d waited most of my life to see the two of them face off, and the scene plays out to perfection, resulting in one of my favourite fights ever committed to celluloid, which I think says it all. 5. Sudden Death (1995)In 2023, the game VAN DAMME – Dawn of the Chihuahuas from the French gaming company, AwareCorp Studios was released. In the sci-fi game for mobile devices, which sees Van Damme pairing up with his chihuahua Lola, players save dogs in distress, while helping real rescued dogs. The game also raises funds for various animal rescue organizations around the world. Van Damme stated: "I’m delighted to be taking part in this fantastic adventure game, and to be supporting animal welfare, a cause close to my heart. I’ve always been a dog lover and I’m determined to help abandoned animals who need a second chance. Lola and I are delighted to be contributing to the success of a game that will not only entertain, but also make a real difference to thousands of vulnerable animals." [112] In a radio interview from On The Edge hosted by Kelly S. Worden, Frank talked about how he came up with the movie's title years earlier when he was nineteen and fighting in a junkyard in Tijuana, "I'm a young kid and I'm getting really kinda nervous and I... the one way I fight... for me I fight my feelings of nervousness is I use a lot of humor sometimes...and so I immediately started doing this Howard Cosell imitation and said 'Here we are'..ya know...'at the Red Cross'..you know..'blood drive' ya know. 'Bloodsport... where everyone's guaranteed to give an ounce.' ..you know [laughs]...and that's where that whole term came from. And then we're sitting around with Mark DiSalle he says...he was trying to think of a name and a title for the movie and I said, 'well why don't you just call it Bloodsport.'"
