Back when this movie came out on video in the late 80s we rented this movie because Who Framed Roger Rabbit was all taken. Defeated I popped it in the machine anyway and was blown away. I brought it over to a friend’s house the next day raving about this and we had an awesome watch party with the whole neighborhood.

The original Street Fighter didn't even make it to a major console in the US. It was on the Turbographx-16 but that had something like 1% of the marketshare in North America. It was an arcade game but I don't recall seeing it. Street Fighter 2 was THE hot arcade game of its time. We had an arcade at my school, and I still remember how we would all gather around Street Fighter 2 and watch people play. Street Fighter 2 was also a huge hit on the SNES and Sega Genesis.

Although the first SF1 wasn't a massive hit, for it's time there wasn't another fighting game like it, and in my opinion the game basically pioneered all modern fighting games. It introduced the 3 punches and 3 kicks of different strength and joystick inputs for special moves, so the fireball quarter circle forward, hurricane kick quarter circle back, and dragon punch motion were all there. The animation frames were accurate to actual martial arts movements, and I'll never forget the first time I fired off a fireball and heard "hadoken", I was hooked and played SF1 every chance I got until SF2 came out.

Back in the 1980s, there was a lot of mysticism with traditional martial arts. Like you would not want to mess with someone that knew karate back then. All that was turned on its head when the UFC debuted in 1993 and it was revealed that traditional martial arts are not as effective as people thought.
The guy who played Chong Li (Bolo Young) was also in 1973's Enter The Dragon, which sadly was Bruce Lee's last movie he was editing Game Of Death and was taking a break from editing to start in Enter The Dragon.
Yes!! I love this movie ❤!, one of my all time favorite, even if it based on all lies The splits over viewing the city is an epic and iconic shot, also the ost is my Favorite. On my own!!!
15:02 I've always liked to imagine that, much like Frank Dux replaced his dead friend for the Kumite, that guy was there replacing someone else as well, because if he's middle eastern, I'm a meat popsicle xD
The original Mortal Kombat game was largely based on Van Damme's character from this movie. Before they decided on Mortal Kombat as their game's title, Van Damme was one name among a few others that was floated around but that all depended on the developers being able to reach a deal with Van Damme himself to be the face of the game. In the end they couldn't reach a deal so they turned Van Damme's character into who we all know now as Johnny Cage.

You ladies need to do all martial art movies especially dealing with men that you like😂 so good I was dying when you showed the peach symbol for Jean-Claude cakes😂😂😂
"meditate my friend..." "Yeah. Breathe." I love it! My words exactly! Him being stretched to the limit was uber intense and then him overcoming it was amazing
You both are phenomenal . Jean Claude at his best was no surrender. That film is a💎 in the rough. As a fighter, giving love to van Damme,those kicks, were one a million times per hour. You get caught,you are unconscious. 🥋👍🏽
Let's Go! This movie is my childhood 😁
A really great movie. Fyi "The Brick not hit back" is a Bruce Lee Pharse. Also this movie and Big Trouble in Litle Chine were the inspiration for Mortal Kombat game. Mortal Kombat was suppose to be a Van Damme game after the success of this movie. Van Damme inspired the Johnny Cage character (You see the split punch to the balls scene just like Johnny Cage). You should see other martial arts by Van Dame and others. Van Damme movies like Kickboxer , Double Impact ,Cyborg, Lion Heart, Universal Solider, TimeCop. Especially I highly recommand you see "No Retrat No Surrender" (Van Damm is the bad guy in it) which is a kind of Karate Kid movie with much better fights.

Van Damme and Bolo were great gym buddies working out in Gold Gym together at one point, Bolo had one of the best chest of all time right up there with Arnold 💪💪
This is where the fun begins!!!!! Love this film! It's such a classic! This movie introduced me to Jean-Claude Van Damme! Regardless, hope you two like it!!!! 🙏🏽💪
Wanna watch a underground classic martial arts movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme (His first movie) .. Watch "No Retreat No Surrender" (1985) it's a very good movie! I will say.. it honors Bruce Lee in a way.. such a fun movie! Plz react. Synopsis: Jason, a Bruce Lee fan, sees his karate instructor/dad beaten by martial art thugs. They move to Seattle where, after humiliations, he trains with Bruce Lee's ghost so he can defend himself and others against thugs.
you two would like Kickboxer and Best of the Best.
Hard Target and JCVD are his best movies in my opinion.
Good VanDamme films: Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Univeral Soldier, Death Warrant. It's sad that he wasn't able to make the transition into action stardom like Arnold did..who's acting was decidedly worse.
Because of The Boondocks every time I hear the word Kumite I hear Bruce Lee scream sound effects.🤣

Was looking for this comment. Killer kung fu wolf bi*ch
I can't help but think this influenced the creation of Street Fighter II. Also, have we found another worthy copilot for Achara besides Steph?
The best JCVD movie and one of the great classics of martial arts films. The soundtrack, IMHO, is a masterpiece.
Hell yea. Kickboxer next! Although, I wished Kristen was also reacting to this

Do we get to see JCVD’s butt again? Because Kristen was bummed when she missed out on the epic butt shot in this movie so I want to give her the chance to appreciate JCVD in all his glory 😂

@@Achara yea I hope you and Kristen do react to Kickboxer. Definitely a lot of butt shots, and Lionheart as well, has straight up nude butt shot. But I would love to see the both of you react to both! You ladies won’t regret it. 😊
you girls gotta react to some jackie chan movies from the 80s like police story and wheels on meals best action films of the 80s.
His jumping split kicks are by far the best out of all the action stars
As a 9 year old, I found this gem, a normal 80s kid, then, my life changed, because of Jean Claude Van Damme, I learnt of Bruce Lee and Ninja Turtles lol This guy was my hero lol
I hope you guys watch Kickboxer next. Also watch the Undisputed movies.
YOU are NEX!!!!
I went to the theater to see this movie the night before I competed in a martial arts tournament. I was already hyped when I got there. Then I saw that the Championship trophies were katanas. I had to have one...so I won my division. I'm making it sound easier than it actually was. On another note, I met Van Damme in Atlanta at a tournament called "The Battle of Atlanta". He wasn't competing, just a guest. He's shorter than I thought...about 5'10"...I'm 6'2". He was very nice and engaging.
Love the soundtrack to this movie
This is my all-time favourite martial arts film; great choice! The soundtrack is awesome too 👍🏻
The Kumite may be real but all those records are fake

The Kumite was fake as well
Witnessing the power that is Van Damme
We need these 2 beautiful ladies to do a Van Damme binge!!!! Theres plenty of great ones!!!
It wasnt real. The writer made it all up and sold it as a true life story
The dude who takes the gold tooth😅😂😅
I remember Bruce Lee movies being big back in the day, then Chuck Norris, then martial arts movies started to fade a little in popularity but Van Damme brought back the magic with this one.
I remember seeing this in the theater at 12 years old with a bunch of friends. The whole audience started screaming at Jackson (Ogre) to keep going, don't stop! 😂
As much as I adore this movie, the real Frank Dux was a fraud.
Based on a true story... LMAO 😂
jean claude van dame is belgian , from my country , at first I was not fan of him and his style but with time saw him be fun , making fun of himself , play on his way he spoke english and I really enjoy him now and I became a fan of him , love achara reaction really fun
This is my #1 favorite movie of all time. I love Van Damme movies ❤️
KUMITE KUMITE! F*CK YEAH lol
The game they were playing isn't a made-up game it was actual game on the Nintendo entertainment system when it first came out and it is a classic movie too bad they don't make movies like this anymore it's all about the woke agenda-driven. Ones

Karate Champ by Data East was an arcade game that was released to arcades worldwide in 1984 but it was later ported to NES in 1986 (Bloodsport was released on February 26th 1988 but the movie's production was likely filmed throughout 1987....so it is possible for older arcade games to be floating around out there....heck I even saw an original Pac-Man from 1980 at one of my local arcades in the early 2000s). The Quest (1996) starring and directed by Jean-Claude Van Damme is a very loose remake of Bloodsport (1988). And I agree with you @brianepolito2044, the state of most modern movies nowadays are either downright atrocious or just plain lackluster/meh. Occasionally there are a few gems that pop out once in a great while but the rest aren't really worth the money to see (especially when they remake/reboot a lot of the classics only not as good) in the theatres, in my opinion.

I played karate champ as a kid lol love it
those chairs were soaked by the end of this movie
Kenpo Karate is legit. Johhny cage was based on van Damme. Bruce is unstoppable. At professional Kenpo tournaments he shined. It was full contact. Not only are both dope. The respect shown to this film is unprecedented. 😎🥋👍🏽
This is some heavy nostalgia for me you guys!.... That scene were he did a split above that skyline view brings back memories when my dad brought home movies on cassette tapes... Me and my Bros would spend ours watching them
