For Sheer Beauty....
The sheer beauty of Van Damme at his peak make this film watching many times over. Yes, I realize the faults others have mentioned, but just to see his balletic grace in action and his extremely buff physique have enthralled me for years. The final fight scene, in which he does the flying split kick, may not be technically accurate (yes his groin is wide open), but it knocks my socks off! As a matter of fact, I didn't even realize that there was a Bloodsport 2 until I ordered it here on Amazon, and am panting with eagerness to see it. Now if we could just see more like this, Lionheart and Kickboxer, I'd love it! (More of Van Damme's strengths and less acting and gratuitous violence.)
