Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): In a flashback to young Dux's childhood, while accompanying his menacing friends to steal Tanaka's sword, Frank is wearing a NY Giants jersey and a SF Giants hat.

Citas:

Frank Dux: Shingo and I were close friends. Brothers. And you and Mrs. Tanaka have treated me like a son. What will happen now?
Tanaka: No more training. Stop now.
Frank Dux: [shakes his head] But you have so much to teach.
Tanaka: You don't understand. During the war, I lost my first family. My son, daughter, and wife. I left Japan because of the war. War was wrong. I came to America to start over, to have a new family, and a son. For 2,000 the teachings passed, father to son, father to son. When Shingo died, it stopped.
Frank Dux: Teach me. I can do it.

Van Damme`s first American movie is still viewable

Bloodsport is Van Damme`s first American film and it is a great B-movie. The plot and acting isn`t this movie`s strongest point but the movie delivers many great and some spectacular fight-scenes. This movie introduced the American audience to Van Damme from Belgium, and was the first of Van Damme`s entertaining action-flicks. 8/10
