There’s no question that Bloodsport starring the legendary Jean-Claude Van Damme is one of the very best ’80s movies of all time, and one of my all-time ’80s favorites…as I made clear when it was reported that they might be remaking the movie. And when I say it is one of the very best I don’t mean in terms of it actually being a great, awards-caliber feature film or anything, but just in terms of it being an entertaining, magnificently ’80s flick. It is perfectly cheesy goodness for all to enjoy.

One of the scenes in the movie, as you might already be aware, happens to also double as the perfect Mentos commercial with just a quick swap of the audio track and nothing more. You can check it out below.

One of my personal favorite 1980s movies is Bloodsport, the Jean Claude Van Damme movie about Frank Dux, a martial artist who competed in a highly secretive, highly dangerous underground fighting tournament known as the Kumite. Basically MMA before anyone knew what MMA was. The movie is a quintessential ’80s action-fighting flick, and features one of the very best ’80s movie songs you’ll ever hear. What more could one ask for?

Now comes word that Relativity Media is getting ready to remake the movie, with a writer, director, premise, and filming plans already in place. And another one bites the dust.
