Captions proceed to give Dux's career fight stats in the Kumite over several years, saying he established four records that were still standing at the time of the movie's release, and that he retired undefeated, before establishing his own martial arts school. We will introduce you exclusively to Newpay finance products provided by NewDay Limited under this Introducer Appointed Representative arrangement.

Jackson then turns away, thinking he has the fight in the bag, and plays to the crowd, trying to get them to chant his name the way they chant Chong Li's name.Frank's attempts to advance to the championship are further complicated by the efforts of Helmer (Burton) and Rawlins (Whitaker), a pair of military agents representing his superiors who did not sanction his participation in the Kumite and want to bring him into custody. McComb quickly catches wind of Max's suspicion, and Max finds himself on the wrong side of a powerful enemy with the ability to wipe out his past. To properly demonstrate the Dim Mak, Dux must shatter the bottom-most brick without damaging either of the two bricks stacked atop it. On August 21st you’ll be able to pick up this new 4K steelbook release of Bloodsport, the movie that shot JCVD to stardom.

The movie begins with montages of various hopeful competitors training and practicing their fighting techniques.Why, exactly, 'Bloodsport,' the so-cheesy-it's-still-cheesy action flick that has somehow garnered a cult reputation, and 'Timecop,' an ambitious if not-exactly-successful comic book adaptation, are on the same disc isn't made explicitly clear, beyond the link of main star Jean-Claude Van Damme.

A more suitable double-feature bill, I would argue, would be 'Timecop' and 'Hard Target,' since they were both released by Universal and produced, oddly enough, by filmmaker Sam Raimi. For the most part, the tricky lighting is handled well by the folks working the telecine and video compression nobs, but there are a few instances during the darkest scenes where there seems to be some contrast banding visible in otherwise nearly pitch black areas of the screen. Barring a 21st Century comeback, Timecop is arguably the peak of Jean-Claude Van Damme's career as a traditional Hollywood action film star.Walking through the back alley for the final rounds of competition, Dux finds he has to fight his way through a gauntlet of Inspector Chen's police officers. Whisper to scream dynamics and frequent directional effects are rendered with precision and accuracy. The Army dispatches two MPs, Helmer (Norman Burton) and Rawlins (Forest Whitaker) to find Dux and bring him back. Because, just like alternate 1985 in ' Back to the Future II,' there's a parallel story that hamstrings any of the kind of gee-whiz techno coolness of 'Timecop. This pairing of two of the better entries in the filmography of Belgian action star Jean-Claude Van Damme offers high value for fans of the films as long as they are not partial to bonus features.
