Bloodsport

I remember way back in probably grade 4 that all my friends were obsessed with this movie. They would even write stories based on it during our creative writing period, which is kind of fucked up. I of course wasn't allowed to watch it because of the violence and such. Whatever. I had The Sandlot, I was fine.

So now, 16 odd years later I finally got to see what it was all about. Well I can certainly see why all of those 8 year-olds liked it. It's full of action, it's kind of ridiculous, lots of good fights and let's be honest, it pretty much just flat out kicks ass.

Again I watched this weeks ago so details are hazy and I'm really trying to keep these reviews short so I can finally catch up on all of them. But I highly enjoyed this movie. Yea it's cheesy and kind of fucking stupid, but it's fine. Plus Van Damme does the splits like 15 times. He has every right to show that shit off so you can't even fault him for constantly doing it.

There's one great scene where he is outrunning these government guys to this lame 80's pop song. It could be one of my favourite scenes in any movie ever. Great stuff.

Kid me would loved this movie for sure, but adult me really enjoyed it too.

7.5/10
