About this episode
Prepare to do the splits. On this week's Vintage Cinema Rewind, Blake and Jason discuss Jean-Claude Van Damme's star-making role in 1988's Bloodsport! As the two enroll in the world's deadliest (and most implausible) mixed martial arts tournament, the Kumite, they take some time to weigh in on the big questions. Just how accurate is the story this movie is based on? How well does the action hold up? And just how good a performer is the Muscles from Brussels?
