If you look at the rating for this film it is only 5.8 percent at present that is a serious understatement of this films genius. This film deserves a much more higher rating. Okay its not an Oscar winner for acting, but who cares! its not about acting its about true martial arts and fighting on the big screen and Bloodsport brings this to you superbly. One of my favourite movies it also provides the Rocky pump, as in like Rocky it has the emotion both in action and through the films music and the fighting makes you want to get up and starting punching and kicking anything! and you don't get that sort of feeling with many films. Rocky had it and Bloodsport has it, and if a fighting film makes you get up and fight your living room wall then its a winner! Van Damme is excellent, his fighting manoeuvres are breathtaking, the range of different styles of fighters is great and well know martial artist Bolo Yeung's destruction of all opponents is wonderfully filmed, and as Van Dammes main contender we have a great adventure. All the fighters give great performances and the fighting scenes are superb. Great performance from big Donald Gibb as the hilarious Ray Jackson. His running punch on his first opponent is worth watching for that alone! Donald Gibb is excellent and brings humour to the role as well as some excellent and sometimes hilarious no nonsense fighting! The story too is superb, the kumite bringing the worlds greatest fighters together and by invitation only and the location also brilliant. Hiden in the depths of Hong Kong badlands. A winner in all departments. I remember watching this with friends and going out in the garden for some Bloodsport kicking and punching well not each other, thin air! but it makes you feel alive. Not many films do that. 10/10 for me. Fantastic film!

I love this movie, Clint Eastwood is fantastic. It's a very dark, mysterious movie set mostly at night. Within the adult scene in 80's New Orleans. With Clints character's sexual cravings he begins to cross the killers domain and realises the killer is not only very much in touch with him, but similar to his desires in many ways. It's a great story, simple stalker type movie but done superbly. Twists and turns throughout the film. It's a forgotten or perhaps not known very well Eastwood gem, not a dirty harry shoot em up though, a more dark, personal film involving Clints life orientating between father to his girls and his seedy sexual desires in the night of New Orleans, to his non stop crusade to bring a dark and mysterious stalker to justice. A wonderful film, great acting and suspense throughout. Very enjoyable. 10 out of 10

One of my favourite all time films. Superb for its time. Best action movie ever. Wonderful performances from Clint Eastwood and supporting actors. Dark, violent, disturbing view of the other side of life. Clint Eastwood greatest actor of all time without doubt. Harry Callahan legendary character. This is what we think of when being a cop, dirty harry style! Great story, great city to set film in too. Music score is wonderful too. It's a cult classic. This is the best of the series and so original. The seventies were cool, this made it even cooler! I would have liked Clint to have made say two more films in the nineties, but sadly they finished with the Dead Pool in 88. There are 12 novels from Dane Hartman and they continue Harry's adventures and are great reads if you are a fan of the movies.
