Oh, absolutely. Even while making it, the filmmakers had doubts about the authenticity. Claims about his military records didn't add up, and I mean, let's face it, it's a story about a secret international deathmatch, it's James Bond shit. He claimed he fought 329 matches in three days. Assume you only sleep six hours and only spend an hour all day eating, resting, being doctored, and etc. That's still about a match every nine minutes.
Ultimately, the premise was good and they used it anyway.

Honestly I thought I was the only person that knew about this movie.

Brick not fight back.

Can movies ever be iconic again? Spotlight is so dispersed and critique and opinions come out faster than the movie itself.

I grew up watching Bloodsport all the time. Someday I will make my father proud and fight in the Kumite!

They perfectly captured that wild, manic look. I wish they hadn't.

Bolo Yeung is apparently a pretty decent guy that always got typecast as the bad guy. So he is bad guy who isn't bad guy.

Wasn't this movie based on a fraud?

For sure, made for a good "80's machismo" flick either way.

that's a lot of dedication ... only to depict a scene that isn't in the movie.

Based on one of many complete fabrications told by a con man.

I never realized how bad he wiffed that kick. Fully extended before he even made contact. Just shoved him with his foot basically.
