BLOODSPORT (1988) - MOVIE REVIEW
A little old but just as good and exciting, this movie is a classic, I say this because despite all the advances in the world of cinema today, this filming of the 80's is still played, at least I still do, it is an unmissable story of a man who from nothing learned the meaning of martial arts and put them into practice, not knowing that it would lead him to be the best fighter of his time, Frank Dux, as he is called in this movie starring the famous Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, not only showed what he learned in this tournament, but also demonstrated that a western and non-Japanese man was capable of winning this great martial arts event, dominated for a long time by oriental fighters.
EL INICIO DE UN NUEVO GUERRERO / THE BEGINNING OF A NEW WARRIOR
One day in the United States, Frank Dux when he was a child accompanies his school friends to do something improper, they break into someone else's house in order to steal some objects, seeing that they were discovered by the owner of the house, Mr. Tanaka, they fled, leaving Frank alone inside the house, Frank was caught by Mr. Tanaka, who reprimanded him, Frank was very honest and told him that he did not mean to do anything wrong and that it was his friends who had the idea and exposed it to the owner of the house, seeing that Mr. Tanaka was true what he said, he decided to forgive him and took him to his parents to make a deal.
The agreement was that Frank and Mr. Tanaka's son would practice martial arts together in order for the son to train to participate in the "Committee" in the future as his father and his generation did, not knowing that an unexpected death of his son would end that generation of Japanese warriors, Tanaka, dismayed and not knowing what to do, was opting for retirement, and Frank, seeing that he could take his son's place, saw the possibility of training and being He, the successor and representative of the Tanaka Family, Mr. Tanaka, not understanding that he could do it, complains to Frank that he is not Japanese, and urges him to leave and abandon the idea of continuing training, the Frank's persistence and his desire to be his disciple was such that he managed to convince Tanaka to start training with an expert in martial arts.
SU FORMACIÓN / YOUR TRAINING
At the beginning of the trainings were so intense that for a moment I thought that Frank would abandon them, but the desire was so much on his part, that was stronger because of how difficult and long they were, they had to be so, because the event for which he was preparing was not anything, because there in the past several competitors had died due to the bloody combats, that the only thing that had as a rule was that your opponent or opponent did not get up from the ground after being knocked down or surrendered saying ''mate''.
One after another were the intense days of training Frank to achieve perfection in his technique to learn everything that had to do with martial arts, that was what was going to catapult him to enter the committee, technical endurance, power, strength and hand to hand combat to train even more, day and night and for a long time made Frank a strong man of body and mind ready and willing to travel to Hong Kong, and not only that, Dux then joins the U.S. Army to be a man of care and difficult to bring down with two infallible and very little seen, the military and martial training making him a warrior of the ring.
EL DESAFIO / THE CHALLENGE
After having learned everything, he learns of the poor health of his coach and decides to visit him before starting his trip to the East to dispute his participation in the committee, for this he escapes from his army concentration and goes to see him, there he notifies his mentor Tanaka that he will go to Hong Kong receiving his approval, Frank heads to Eastern lands to face one of the biggest challenges of his life, because he had to apply and show everything he had been taught, now in real life and against real opponents very little known and very dangerous, Frank since his arrival with a compatriot he meets on his trip, Ray Jackson, impressed with his knowledge, generating the highest of expectations.
The American boy was gradually knocking down the different obstacles encountered in his participation in the committee, first to enter, he had to prove that he was a disciple of the Tanaka clan as he said in his invitation, for this he executed the skill of the killer blow, a skill that consisted of breaking a block located at the end of a column of blocks, managing to execute it to perfection, after that and already inside he got tired of defeating his opponents, implying different records such as: the fastest KO, the fastest kick and an endless number of very good skills that step by step led him to the final fight, against the favorite of all and long time undefeated champion of this tournament Chong Li.
LA PELEA FINAL / THE FINAL FIGHT
The American boy was gradually knocking down the different obstacles encountered in his participation in the committee, first to enter, he had to prove that he was a disciple of the Tanaka clan as he said in his invitation, for this he executed the skill of the killer blow, a skill that consisted of breaking a block located at the end of a column of blocks, managing to execute it to perfection, after that and already inside he got tired of defeating his opponents, implying different records such as: the fastest KO, the fastest kick and an endless number of very good skills that step by step led him to the final fight, against the favorite of all and long time undefeated champion of this tournament Chong Li.
And so it was, and in a great demonstration of two very different styles, because it was the same Asian style of fighting, but they were 2 totally different fighters and with various skills, one from South Korea (Li) and the other from the United States (Dux) would take place the final fight most awaited by all, Dux faithful to his style of the Tanaka clan and the great desire to honor his coach, to avenge the injury of his friend Ray and to make known that a westerner could win this tournament, manages to defeat Li, overcoming all kinds of traps, to become the brand new winner and representative of the West and new monarch of this great event, making him the delivery of a sword, as a symbol of the only and worthy winner.
Clásicos como estos me hacen recordar mi niñez, plagada de películas de artes marciales protagonizadas principalmente por Bruce Lee y el mencionado Jean Claude.
Saludos mí estimado amigo, esa es una de mis favoritas, como esa creo no he visto ninguna, claro hay otras más y cada quién tiene sus gustos pero Jean Claude Van Damme creo y pienso hizo un excelente papel en esta y en otras más que hizo.
Gracias amigo por tomarte el tiempo para leer y para comentar, agradecido.
Esta también es una de mis favoritas, coincido en que Jean Claude realizó una excelente actuación, muy buena reseña, saludos.
Gracias amigo!
Yay! 🤗
