The Vandaminator's best..
I've always thought of Bloodsport as Van Damme's best movie with Kickboxer being his second. It even surpasses the similar but much bigger budget movie of his called The Quest. Surprisingly, his best movie was also one of the last that's been released on dvd. Kinda figuring out why that's so. Anyways, those who might worry about the quality of the movie after so long a wait need not be worried. The movie picture is pretty crisp and clear. Whatever video source they used, they did a pretty good job on the transfer. There is some weathering of the film in the darker scenes, but I'm going to assume that's because the original film was shot on a lower budget than his later flicks. Cause, overall, the rest of the movie looks fine. This is pretty much a no nonsense dvd in that there's are really no extras. It's just the movie, chapter selection, and cast bios. That's why it can be had in a pretty much inexpensive price. Still, it would have been nice to have had a biography on all the different martial artists and the arts they portrayed on screen.
