Bloodsport is a 1988 American martial arts sports action film directed by Newt Arnold and starring JeanClaude Van Damme, Leah Ayres, Forest Whitaker, Donald Gibb, Roy Chiao and Bolo Yeung. The film centers on Frank Dux (Van Damme), a United States Army Captain and ninjutsu practitioner, who competes in an underground fullcontact martial arts tournament called the Kumite in Hong Kong. Based on Dux s reallife claims, the film was marketed as a true story. It was one of Van Damme s first lead roles and showcased his abilities, launching his career as a mainstream action star. The screenplay is based on many of Dux s claims first covered in the November 1980 issue of Black Belt magazine. The real Dux served as the action choreographer and technical advisor. After its release, many of Dux s claims were disputed, including by coscreenwriter Sheldon Lettich, who claimed Dux fabricated his fight record and the existence of the Kumite. Bloodsport was produced and released by Cannon Films on F
