HI-YAH!!!!! Get your black belt on and your roundhouse kicks ready as The Last Action Heroes delve into the seedy under belly of Hong Kong to infiltrate the
dangerous mixed martial arts tournament of Kumite in BLOODSPORT! Follow Ray JESPson, Senso DANaka, Chong LEON and BJORN Claude Van Damme as they fight to survive their way through the 1988 martial arts classic that made 'The Muscles From Brussels' Jean Claude Van Damme a bonefide action star. Taking on the (allegedly) true story of Franx Dux for his first major film, Van Damme goes AWOL from his armed forces unit and travels to Hong Kong to fight in honour of his Sensei and father figure in the secretive and deadly fighting tournament known as the Kumite. His experiences there will test his skills to the limit as he fights his way through a throng (I said throng!) of world class fighters,
forges the bonds of brotherhood and makes a very dangerous enemy in the form of last seasons Kumite winner, a walking tank who has been known to kill his opponents for fun.In this bloody and bruised episode we delve into everything that makes this movie an 80's action staple from the bone-crunchingly awesome fight choreography and sweat soaked cinematography of the arena to the amazingly bad acting and highly
questionable authenticity of the films true events. We also discover just what it takes to be able to make a cup of tea blindfolded! Will this be OK USA! or as cheesy as on old pair of gym shorts? Join us and find out...but first you must Dim Mak this pile of old bricks! Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!
