I haven't seen it in years, thanks in part that it isn't available on DVD, but it's such a great cheeseball movie. Technically speaking, it isn't great for martial arts displays, but it's still a fun time. If I had to choose one based on technical proficiency, It'd have to be Enter the Dragon. That final fight sequence is just a ridiculous, badass display.

There you go Fran-Ces! :P

Bloodsport is on the Versus Channel right now!
still in the beginning where Dux is training...

I agree with Theresa, this is a great movie.
All UFC and MMA fans should have their walls fill with Bloodsport posters.

Van Damme's Kickboxer is another great one as well.
