Bloodsport = Rawk Drafts

[El Lobo]

I hope I’m not ruining any ones pick but….

Van Damme was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star, but "lost" to Ronald McDonald in Mac and Me.

[Samie]

Motherfucker you better not come for Bloodsport!

[Chakan]

I like Bloodsport.

jean claude van damme i'm good!

[El Lobo]

Motherfucker you better not come for Bloodsport!

Don’t worry, if I get my picks I’ve got some proper shite on the way

[Max_powers]

I hope I’m not ruining any ones pick but….

I think that's because unsophisticated audiences and critics, couldn't grasp the subtle acting skills of a Shakespearian actor like Van Damme. They came around to him and he later did end up winning the award.

[Hazell]

Maybe I should have filed Goonies under Family. Take it we’re not allowed to change genres?

Go for it.

[Hazell]

dis, you've ruined my next pick!

Love Spinal Tap.

[dis_1]

ahh sorry! i just couldn't leave it in the shortlist any longer!!

[El Lobo]

Fucking superb film. Tap Tap Tap Tap!

[Hazell]

ahh sorry! i just couldn't leave it in the shortlist any longer!!

Great pick, easily one of the best comedies of all time.

[Hazell]

That's from Kickboxer right? That's actually an entertaining film, even if it's not all intentional.

[Samie]

Yes, not as good as Bloodsport but a good follow up.

[Hazell]

I've not seen Bloodsport, philistine that I am.

[Samie]

Why are you in my presence then Haze? 

[Max_powers]

I've not seen Bloodsport, philistine that I am.

It's a B-movie version of Enter the Dragon

[Crosby Nick]

All three of my picks from 1985 so far. Must have been the greatest year for movies ever!

[Max_powers]

Commando is a great pick. But thriller? I guess it's listed as such on Letterboxd. Also listed in the adventure category.

It's one of the best action films of all time for me. Great one-liners and some iconic scenes.

I know. My genres are all over the place as I have Back to the Future as Sci Fi. But playing the hand I’m dealt with letterboxd. If people think they’re a bit cheesy I can re categorise.

But yeah, a great action movie. One we watched at a mate’s party when we were about 10! And I can’t get on a plane any more without miming breaking my wife’s neck and asking for a blanket for my friend. How we laugh.

[Hazell]

It's on my watchlist, along with other such greats like American Ninja and Universal Soldier 2 - The Return.

She must be dead tired of it now.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Angel Heart is a brilliant movie. Great pick.

[Hazell]

Angel Heart is a brilliant movie. Great pick.

Haven't seen if for a long time and can't remember everything in it but I remember liking it a lot. Definitely need to watch that one again.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Well, I better look for a new Sci Fi movie now.

I knew "Brazil" was going to be popular in here - I'm a little surprised it lasted as long as it did.

It's Gilliam's best film IMO. So many relatable scenes if you have ever worked in big bureaucracy.

[Chakan]

Bollocks NICHOLLS, I knew I should have picked it this round

[Sheer Magnetism]

Commando, Spinal Tap, Brazil: the good ones are all being snapped up now. I've probably seen Commando more than any other film ever made. Absolutely glorious.

I think The Goonies might be my most watched. Just looking at comedies and there’s so many belters from this decade! Will need plenty picked before I go again to help me make a decision!

[Lastrador]

Well this is going fast.

[Buck Pete]

Yes, not as good as Bloodsport but a good follow up.

This has been my goto link for many years to remember every fighter in Bloodsport

Some of the write ups are quite funny too

Haha, nice one Pete.

Someone made a fan made trailer of Bloodsport 2 called Bloodsport Redux with Van Damme set in the present day. Check it out.

[Hazell]

Can I leave my next pick with someone?

[El Lobo]

Can I leave my next pick with someone?

[Hazell]

Thanks

[Crosby Nick]

Another tough day in the beach awaits. Can I also leave my next pick with someone please?
