  Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 14 of the
• 0:04
  Take to Pod with Mom and Dad. I'm Dad.
• 0:08
  And I'm mom. The kids are asleep soundly in
• 0:13
  their beds. Yes, after quite a day honestly.
• 0:16
  It's a great day, we quite a day, but great.
• 0:19
  It was a great day, but it took a lot to get here.
• 0:22
  So first of all this evening. So everybody took a nap today,
• 0:27
  which is unusual. Usually our three-year old does
• 0:29
  not nap. Yeah, cause he got up at 5:50
• 0:31
  this morning. Yeah, this little asshole got up
• 0:34
  at 5:50, came in our bed, and then our baby got up at like 5
• 0:37
  minutes later and came in our bed.
• 0:38
  Yeah, and they were so loud that we just had to start our day at
• 0:41
  6:00 AM. Garbage.
• 0:45
  There was a point in my day where I had gotten up, showered,
• 0:49
  had like breakfast, played with the kids, and then I went out.
• 0:55
  I came back home and it was only 1230 and I was like, what is
• 0:59
  going on right now? Interstellar or the time has
• 1:03
  moved different outside of the house was inside.
• 1:06
  But anyway, we, we all had a nap and then we got up from the nap
• 1:10
  and we wanted to take the kids to the park because it was, it's
• 1:12
  a gorgeous day today. It was beautiful.
• 1:15
  To the park, which was really nice, but honestly at the park
• 1:19
  knew it got locked because I was walking our baby in her stroller
• 1:23
  by the sandbox and there's a few little kids playing in the
• 1:26
  sandbox and I just notice that a bunch of them are holding slices
• 1:31
  of pizza. Having like a little pizza
• 1:33
  picnic. And one of them is like, she's
• 1:35
  playing, so she's distracted, and her pizza is just like
• 1:38
  dipping into the sand. There was one kid crossing this
• 1:41
  little like bridge where you have to kind of watch your step
• 1:44
  and he had just half a slice, those hands just mucking this
• 1:47
  slice. His hands are black from like
• 1:50
  climbing the. Oht It's so nice.
• 1:51
  Somebody's mom thought it was a good idea to bring pizza to the
• 1:55
  park. And these kids are just like
• 1:57
  touching the mulch. They're touching the playground,
• 1:59
  they're touching the. Sand.
• 1:59
  Well, it's kind of funny eating. Pizza.
• 2:02
  Usually when you have some kind of food like that at a park, you
• 2:05
  bring wipes to make sure everybody's hands are wiped.
• 2:08
  After but anyway. And before, before and after,
• 2:14
  all right? Well, it was a good day with the
• 2:16
  kids so. Yeah, but just to stay on the
• 2:18
  food topic. Here we go.
• 2:21
  So Dad was in the mood for burgers tonight.
• 2:24
  So he was gonna go to this burger place that we sometimes
• 2:26
  go to, but we looked it up and it has it was closed.
• 2:30
  Like it's it's closed down. Yeah.
• 2:32
  So he just went to this random place and he brought back the
• 2:35
  burgers and I wanted a chicken sandwich.
• 2:37
  As a new place, I was like, let's try it.
• 2:39
  It was the you guys. It was the most disgusting
• 2:43
  chicken sandwich. Well, you're yours was worse
• 2:47
  than mine. Mine was OK.
• 2:48
  Like I finished mine and then I'm like, it was alright.
• 2:51
  I was really hungry. The bun was like really soft and
• 2:54
  way too saucy and got like really soggy.
• 2:56
  It was so. Nasty.
• 2:58
  And the fries were so bad, like how do you mess up fries?
• 3:02
  Well, it's super easy to mess up fries, but yeah.
• 3:05
  So what did I do? I'm talking to all the people
• 3:09
  but I. Did he felt bad that I had
• 3:11
  nothing to eat? So he went out and got me more
• 3:13
  food and brought it home. Yeah.
• 3:15
  And I was like thanks Dad, because I cause I couldn't eat
• 3:17
  the chicken sandwich. It was so disgusting I couldn't
• 3:19
  eat it. And I'm not, I'm not a food
• 3:22
  diva. I literally will eat almost
• 3:24
  anything. This is this is how bad it.
• 3:27
  Was a bit of a you can't. You're a bit of a diva when it
• 3:29
  comes to fried chicken though. Yeah, but this isn't fried
• 3:32
  chicken. This was just a chicken
• 3:33
  sandwich. It should if it's no, but if
• 3:34
  it's chicken tenders or like pieces of chicken thigh or
• 3:39
  something, you if one thing like one thing can set you off from
• 3:43
  the whole meal for chicken. You Well, yeah, well, chicken
• 3:47
  can get gross pretty quickly. Yeah, I agree anyways.
• 3:50
  Alright, anyways, I saved the day.
• 3:52
  I managed to save the day. It was quite an operation just
• 3:54
  to get to this point. Yeah, but we're here.
• 3:57
  We're here. Oh my God.
• 3:59
  Alright, so drum roll mom. My body's ready, my heart's on
• 4:10
  fire, gonna push it over the wire.
• 4:17
  Yes everybody, we are tackling the 80s cult classic plus.
• 4:21
  Sport. Yes, Sir.
• 4:25
  It was released in 1988, starring John Claude Van Damme,
• 4:30
  Donald Gibb and Leah Aries. Yes, but the main the main thing
• 4:35
  is Jean Claude Van Dam this movie, Yes, because Donald Gibb,
• 4:40
  people don't really remember him and the girl.
• 4:43
  I'm not even 100%. Is Donald give Jackson.
• 4:46
  Yeah, OK. Not even Andrew.
• 4:49
  You Jackson, you look like a Jackson.
• 4:52
  So, bloodsport the synopsis. A U.S. soldier, Frank Dukes has
• 4:57
  come to Hong Kong to be accepted into the kumite, a highly secret
• 5:01
  and extremely violent martial arts competition.
• 5:03
  While trying to gain access into the underground world of
• 5:07
  clandestine fighters, he also has to avoid military officers
• 5:11
  who consider him a wall. I think there's a lot in there
• 5:14
  to say. Like Frank Dukes fights for his
• 5:17
  life. Honestly, the military part of
• 5:20
  the movie doesn't have to have even be in there.
• 5:23
  Yeah, I know. It's a waste of time.
• 5:26
  It's a reason, yeah, the the the the tournament is hard enough.
• 5:31
  We don't need this like out. Yeah, it's stupid.
• 5:34
  You know, outside the thing that's forced, that's gonna
• 5:37
  cause it to come down on. Him it's like this little Side
• 5:40
  Story that they wanted to include, but it really adds
• 5:42
  nothing and it it's kind of. Pointless.
• 5:44
  So this movie is based on a true story on a real person.
• 5:47
  So we're gonna get into that. But yeah, this movie had a
• 5:51
  budget of 1.5 million in 1988 and did over 50 million
• 5:55
  worldwide. This was a box 50 times.
• 5:58
  Money. That's pretty shocking.
• 6:00
  It's crazy and it's like the merchandise, the VHS tapes, like
• 6:03
  all that just went wild and this movie came out.
• 6:07
  But Bloodsport wicked movie title.
• 6:10
  So when was the first time you watched this bump?
• 6:13
  First time I watched it was just a few nights ago with you, and
• 6:15
  The funny thing is we actually watched it twice preparing for
• 6:18
  this podcast. We watched it once, just like in
• 6:21
  a chill way, and then we watched it again while making notes.
• 6:24
  But this wasn't your first time we watched it before.
• 6:26
  No, I've never seen this before. Did show you you fell asleep?
• 6:32
  Yes, yeah. And honestly, I'm glad I fell
• 6:35
  asleep because this movie sucks. Wow.
• 6:40
  Yeah, we'll see about that. We'll see who's right and who's
• 6:43
  wrong. So the first time you think or
• 6:46
  you recall is with first time like literally for this podcast.
• 6:49
  I think so, yeah. Maybe I have seen it before, but
• 6:52
  it was not memorable. We did watch it and I remember
• 6:55
  your comments about it then but I won't bring them up.
• 6:58
  But that just shows you don't remember anything bro.
• 7:01
  I know I remember a lot, but this movie?
• 7:02
  Didn't some omega-3? This movie didn't stay in the
• 7:06
  memory. Banks have a great memory.
• 7:09
  What about you Dad? When was the first time you saw
• 7:11
  this? Movie Well, if you must know,
• 7:14
  the first time I watched this movie, I was, I want to say 10
• 7:18
  years old. My brother came home and he had
• 7:21
  a copy of this brand new on VHS and he's like look what I got
• 7:27
  and he shows it to me in this blood sport.
• 7:28
  And the cover is iconic. It's just a picture of Van Damme
• 7:31
  in his his final fight outfit. So it's like the black spandex
• 7:35
  shorts with the gold ribbon around his waist and he's posing
• 7:40
  and he's just bicep just like flexing right out of the friggin
• 7:43
  picture. You know the movie impacted you
• 7:45
  and you can recall the the the covers.
• 7:48
  And iconic. Post in such detail.
• 7:50
  No, it's a great. Poster and you want it for the
• 7:52
  basement? Did it come up as one of our
• 7:54
  options? No, but it will soon.
• 7:56
  We have two spots that we haven't filled for several
• 7:58
  years. T2 supposed to go there and we
• 8:01
  couldn't decide on the other one, right?
• 8:02
  Yeah, there was one that I think I wanted Dirty Dancing,
• 8:05
  honestly, because that's an iconic poster too.
• 8:08
  So anyways he showed me the tape and we watched it that I and I
• 8:12
  was like this is amazing. And then I think I recall it
• 8:17
  would we had it on VHS and we watched it all the time.
• 8:21
  Then it would be on TBS superstation and Spike TV.
• 8:24
  Remember Spike TV? No, I don't actually.
• 8:27
  Don't. OK, well anyways, they all, they
• 8:29
  had all the wrestling shows on and stuff.
• 8:31
  Everybody as a kid in the 90s had a VHS that you played over
• 8:35
  and over. Again, yeah, but this or several
• 8:36
  all the time. And it's very, very, very
• 8:40
  rewatchable. This movie, you could watch it.
• 8:42
  Money that I never came across because I have brothers that
• 8:45
  watched movies like. I if they haven't like seen
• 8:47
  this, like you gotta. Watch it, I'm sure they have.
• 8:49
  So anyways, we watched it a million times.
• 8:51
  It was on superstation. You'd you'd flip channels would
• 8:54
  be on spike TV, flip channels. And then you get to a certain
• 8:57
  point when he's training, no matter what point the movie
• 9:00
  starts, he like all it's blood sport.
• 9:02
  I gotta catch like is a day one of the fighting?
• 9:04
  Is it day two of the? Fighting.
• 9:05
  So you have the warm fuzzies for this movie because you saw it as
• 9:07
  a kid and loved the fighting. And everything I do have the
• 9:10
  warm fuzzies similar that similar to the style that you
• 9:13
  did The Dirty Dancing, but it is a very popular movie.
• 9:17
  It's. Very, very popular.
• 9:18
  It is. I, I have.
• 9:19
  I have a lot to say about that later.
• 9:20
  The Rotten Tomatoes score on this the Critics score is like
• 9:23
  45% and the audience score is 75 so.
• 9:28
  That's still not that good. 75 for an action movie from the 80s
• 9:32
  that's very good. And then on I'm I Ooh, baby.
• 9:36
  Oh, she has something to say about the movie.
• 9:39
  Now. OK, now we're back.
• 9:41
  False alarm. Yeah, by the time I got up
• 9:43
  there, her passing was back and she was asleep.
• 9:45
  Well, that's OK. I went all the way up there.
• 9:48
  She's. Fine, gotta work off dinner I
• 9:50
  guess, right? I guess I could go for a walk.
• 9:52
  So yeah, this movie IMDb score 7.8.
• 9:55
  Like, that's really good. People love this movie.
• 9:57
  That's my first time and it's been a part of my, you know,
• 10:02
  action movie. Rolodex, if you will, mom.
• 10:05
  So why does this movie suck? Want to elaborate on that?
• 10:09
  I mean, I'm going to go into it quite a bit in our segments, but
• 10:14
  the movie is very cringey. Cheesy, cheesy.
• 10:19
  The act, it's very cheesy, yeah. The acting from almost everyone
• 10:23
  involved is abysmal, including John Club.
• 10:28
  Nobody in this movie knows how to act.
• 10:30
  It's all very, very campy and very try hard.
• 10:33
  Yeah. And on top of that, like we were
• 10:36
  talking about earlier, the storylines are very thin.
• 10:38
  Yeah. It's.
• 10:39
  A tournament involved it's. Just a fight tournament, and
• 10:42
  then they throw in this army thing and like I said, it
• 10:45
  doesn't add anything. It doesn't need to be there.
• 10:47
  Yeah, yeah. He runs through the streets with
• 10:49
  these guys and it's like a weird, it's like a musical.
• 10:53
  He like, stops and he's like toying with them.
• 10:56
  It's 80s cheese, man. It's 80s.
• 10:59
  Cheese. It's an overload of cheese.
• 11:01
  Yeah, it's extra cheese. So, like, did I?
• 11:05
  Do I like it? No.
• 11:08
  Is it fun to watch? In some ways, yeah.
• 11:10
  OK, do you hate? It I don't hate it, but it's a
• 11:14
  bad movie. Well, I guess it depends what
• 11:17
  you're looking. For there's a difference between
• 11:21
  good, bad movies, OK, and bad, bad movies.
• 11:24
  Yeah, this is definitely more in the good, bad movie category
• 11:28
  because it's still entertaining. OK.
• 11:30
  It's not it's it's it's not that it has nothing redeeming about
• 11:33
  it. Sure, if you're looking at it
• 11:34
  from the like typical standpoint of a movie.
• 11:37
  It's bad, yeah. I I would agree with that.
• 11:41
  But if if you say it's a bad movie, but it's a bad fighting
• 11:46
  movie, No, on the scale of fighting movie genre, I think
• 11:50
  this is well, this is the one that flipped everything on his
• 11:53
  head. But there are so many fighting
• 11:55
  movies that are way better. Like like what?
• 11:57
  Kill Bill is just an example right off the top of my head.
• 12:01
  There's a whole lot of fighting. To kill.
• 12:02
  While you're talking about solely, it's strictly about hand
• 12:05
  to hand combat martial arts. There's nothing else.
• 12:09
  It's only about a tournament that's considered a fighting
• 12:12
  movie. Yeah, that's a very niche
• 12:14
  category now that you're going. Into fighting movie is a genre
• 12:16
  Jackie Chan movies are all fighting movies so much that.
• 12:19
  He Made his Order is a great movie.
• 12:21
  Yeah, but that's not so that Jackie Chan movie is not a
• 12:24
  fighting movie. That's an action movie, right?
• 12:27
  There's. Shooting.
• 12:27
  There's driving with a very, very, very niche type.
• 12:30
  Of movie. Maybe they're all bad.
• 12:32
  There was a tons of them in the 80s and they were all trash and
• 12:36
  then early 90s as well. If you just look at John Claude
• 12:39
  Van Damme IMDb, it's a bunch of movies like this.
• 12:41
  You can tell they're all like this.
• 12:42
  Yeah, but that's the that was 80s like Stallone before Van
• 12:46
  Damme. It was Stallone.
• 12:48
  You know, you had Schwarzenegger like this movie is.
• 12:51
  I love this movie, so let's just go into that if you want.
• 12:54
  But this was the first purely focused martial arts movie, one
• 12:59
  of the first like there was always Bruce Lee ones, but they
• 13:01
  always had except for enter the dragon.
• 13:04
  They always had like side plots. The fight choreography is
• 13:08
  fantastic. You're you're rooting for Van
• 13:11
  Damme the whole time and the villain is fucking amazing in
• 13:16
  Bolo Young, like he's known as Chong Lee in the movie.
• 13:20
  It's funny at times when it's trying to be like it's not an
• 13:23
  unintentionally, it's actually some funny.
• 13:25
  Jokes. Yeah, Jackson is a great Comic
• 13:27
  Relief. Comic Relief for sure.
• 13:28
  Yeah, he's Comic Relief. And I said to you in the middle
• 13:32
  of the thing, I'm like, he's he's somebody you wish, like,
• 13:35
  was one of your buddies. You know, you just call him up
• 13:36
  like, yo, I need some help. I need to move a couch.
• 13:38
  Everybody had a buddy kind of like Jackson, like maybe not
• 13:40
  that big and that tough, but with that kind of sensibility.
• 13:44
  And this was the breakout role for Jean-Claude Van Damme.
• 13:46
  This one put him on the map. And then he got all these other
• 13:49
  movies. Universal Soldier.
• 13:51
  Double Impact. Yeah, they all look like.
• 13:54
  They're very similar time cop. They're just kick ass action
• 13:58
  movies. Yeah, and he does the splits and
• 14:01
  like most of them, and it's fucking lit.
• 14:03
  He just rips his ball. Sack the muscles from Brussels,
• 14:07
  Jean. Claude Well, we actually talked
• 14:08
  about this in the Speed podcast a little bit.
• 14:10
  There was a time in the 80s and 90s where all action movies were
• 14:13
  Arnold, John, Claude Van Dam, Van Dam types, very muscular
• 14:17
  guys who aren't really that good at acting.
• 14:20
  And then they brought in people like Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise,
• 14:23
  more like average looking guys that weren't super ripped and
• 14:25
  huge. Yeah.
• 14:26
  And then I think action movies got a lot better because now
• 14:29
  they're. Getting actors and telling them
• 14:30
  to get yoked and then go in the movie.
• 14:33
  Well, first superhero movies cause yeah, if you're not a yoke
• 14:36
  superhero, what's the. Point unless it's like for you
• 14:39
  know, real action movie, they need martial artists to play
• 14:41
  that and that's another reason why the acting isn't the best in
• 14:44
  this by Jean Claude is pretty damn good.
• 14:47
  He like after this he just kept getting better and better and
• 14:49
  actually how many of his movies have you seen?
• 14:52
  This is the only movie I've says that I can recall seeing.
• 14:55
  I'm sure I've seen him in other movies.
• 14:57
  But the performance he gives in this is it's very amateur.
• 15:01
  Yeah. And try hard.
• 15:03
  It's try hard but I mean. But his fighting is good.
• 15:05
  You can tell that he's skilled. Yeah, he's believable as a
• 15:10
  fighter and in the role you like.
• 15:11
  You don't have some random unathletic babyface guy or
• 15:15
  handsome. He's he's clearly in very good
• 15:17
  shape and he clearly has martial arts training.
• 15:18
  Yeah, he's fucking lit. Yeah, that doesn't seem.
• 15:20
  Fair. Anyway, I just want to give this
• 15:22
  movie this manly flowers because for an action movie, like a
• 15:26
  fighting movie specific, this is the one that did everything and
• 15:31
  everybody else followed and we'll talk about it.
• 15:33
  Shortly, Yeah, yeah, we definitely want.
• 15:34
  So mom, you said there's a very cringy movie.
• 15:37
  Very fucking cringy. Sure.
• 15:39
  What is the cringiest moment for you?
• 15:42
  So it's not one moment in particular for me.
• 15:44
  It's every time Chung Lee is on screen, really.
• 15:48
  This guy hams it up for the camera.
• 15:50
  So good. Acting menacing.
• 15:52
  Making Charlie. He's acting menacing, he's
• 15:56
  making lots of intense facial expression, and he's showing off
• 15:59
  and flexing his absurd steroid muscles like this guy is on so
• 16:04
  many stairs. He's on the old 80s steroids
• 16:07
  where his chest just becomes like a fucking sofa.
• 16:10
  Yeah, there's a couple times where the camera focuses on and
• 16:13
  then he just like flexes his packs.
• 16:15
  Yeah, and there's also a couple times where he does a knockout
• 16:19
  and makes such an absurd expression following the Nokia.
• 16:23
  Little psychotic. Right.
• 16:24
  It's psychotic, but it's also like, dude, you don't have to
• 16:28
  crank it up to 1,000,000. You could just crank it up to
• 16:31
  like 6 or 7. Yeah, but.
• 16:33
  This guy like this guy's cooking on the stove and he's like, he's
• 16:36
  like next power Max heat. I love it.
• 16:39
  Instead of just letting it simmer, throwing in some slices,
• 16:44
  this guy said no full power. Yeah, I love.
• 16:48
  When Jackson hits him in the face, he takes the blood from
• 16:51
  his face and licks it. Yeah, and then gets outraged.
• 16:53
  He's a fucking monster. It's it's a pretty embarrassing
• 16:57
  performance. To me are you?
• 16:59
  He's one of the best villains ever.
• 17:01
  He barely says like 5 words. He says very good brick not hit
• 17:05
  back and then he says now I break you like I break your
• 17:08
  friend and then the end he says matey.
• 17:11
  He's unhinged though, and he's like the other fighters don't
• 17:14
  respect him. I think it would have been
• 17:16
  scarier if he was like a very traditional, respectable fighter
• 17:21
  that could not be. Beaten.
• 17:22
  No. This guy was like he was.
• 17:23
  He was like the WWE Attitude Era, like he was punk rock.
• 17:26
  He gave no fucks. He had no respect for anybody.
• 17:29
  He didn't, and it was cringey. But it made it more villainous.
• 17:33
  Yeah, what about you? Mike cringiest moment.
• 17:36
  I can't believe that Chung Li, but I guess I guess where you
• 17:38
  coming from it it's I don't appreciate.
• 17:41
  Him, it's a really easy performance.
• 17:43
  Yeah, but you, you grow to appreciate.
• 17:44
  It's so unhinged. So when Frank breaks into
• 17:47
  Tanaka's home and when he's young Frank and is confronted by
• 17:51
  Tanaka son, the acting, that whole sequence when Tanaka comes
• 17:58
  and he says you cannot take Katanas sword by stealing, you
• 18:01
  must earn it. And then it's like, I wasn't
• 18:03
  going to steal it. Like that kid's acting is so
• 18:08
  bad, they couldn't. Like, I get the accent, he's
• 18:11
  trying to sound like Van Damme, but where is that kid from?
• 18:15
  He kind of looks like Van Damme. What accent is that the Van
• 18:19
  Damme has? He's from Belgium.
• 18:20
  Then why didn't they get some like kid from Belgium?
• 18:23
  Because nobody gives a fucking Roundhouse kick like Jean-Claude
• 18:27
  Van Damme Misty. OK?
• 18:29
  Nobody gives a Roundhouse kick or the splits like.
• 18:32
  Why not get a kid that has a Belgian accent?
• 18:34
  Like how hard is that? OHP for the young.
• 18:36
  Baxter, Yeah. OHP I had 1.5 million budget.
• 18:41
  Like do they really give a shit? Go to Belgium and finally Kit
• 18:44
  also spends. Speaks English.
• 18:45
  Just get some guy like can you make?
• 18:47
  Can you sound like this? Can you do this voice?
• 18:48
  OK, do it. Yeah, but he didn't do it.
• 18:50
  Well, whatever. He barely says anything.
• 18:53
  But my biggest concern is the kids wearing a New York Giants
• 18:56
  jersey, like the football team, and he's wearing a San Francisco
• 18:59
  Giants hat. San Francisco Giants baseball
• 19:02
  team. There are two different cities,
• 19:05
  but they're both Giants. Like this kid.
• 19:07
  Just a big fan of the Giants. The Giants.
• 19:10
  He's like Iron Giants. My favorite movie, man.
• 19:14
  Anyway, that part was weird. That is, and it's cringy.
• 19:16
  If you're if you know anything about sports or sports fan,
• 19:19
  you're like, what the fuck is he wearing?
• 19:22
  And then so it's it's like a double, double dip.
• 19:25
  You got the cringe of the acting and you got the cringe of the
• 19:29
  wardrobe department being like, yeah, yeah, just put the shit on
• 19:31
  them because the fuck? Well, on top of that, we see the
• 19:34
  samurai sword come out a couple of times and of epicness to it,
• 19:39
  the way that the samurai sword is treated and Kill Bill, yeah,
• 19:43
  is so epic. And like when they take it out
• 19:45
  of the sheath, that goes like changing.
• 19:47
  Like it doesn't happen in this movie.
• 19:50
  It doesn't because. It's not about sword fighting, I
• 19:52
  know, but. It's full contact.
• 19:53
  Literally when he was handing. Him, the samurai sword.
• 19:55
  I was like, that's it. Like it doesn't feel valuable at
• 19:58
  all. It's about hand.
• 20:00
  To hand combat. So it's not, it's not Kill Bill.
• 20:02
  Kill Bill was like they had a whole fucking half an hour
• 20:05
  dedicated to how the sword was like made and you had to get
• 20:08
  like accepted to get one. This is not about that.
• 20:11
  I get that, but it. It did.
• 20:12
  It did feel kind of of it felt weak in that, in that department
• 20:15
  specifically, I think. Kill Bill made you think
• 20:18
  everybody uses swords and fights, unless it's not as if I
• 20:21
  win. Every other samurai sword the
• 20:23
  tournament, no. Yeah.
• 20:24
  OK, So most iconic scene or moment for you?
• 20:28
  What? What I gotta hear this because
• 20:30
  it's the it's. The flashback scene where Dukes
• 20:32
  remembers his childhood and training with Tanaka.
• 20:42
  Hiya, Liam. Breakfast.
• 20:52
  Until you can meditate, nothing can distract.
• 20:56
  So that you see. And feel nothing except your own
• 20:59
  energy. That's iconic.
• 21:02
  Very iconic. Yeah.
• 21:03
  OK. Because he's like, his son dies
• 21:06
  and it's really sad and he's like mourning and Dukes is just
• 21:11
  like, I want to carry on your legacy.
• 21:13
  And then they go in the backyard and he just gets dummied and
• 21:16
  tortured for. Literal tortured for.
• 21:19
  Like 20. Minutes like BDSM.
• 21:21
  I seriously for like 20. Minutes and then he comes out of
• 21:24
  it and he's like super, super strong, super focused, a super
• 21:29
  good fighter and he's just recalling all this, OK.
• 21:33
  Well, I I notice you're a fan of the montages.
• 21:36
  I love montage. You love a good montage.
• 21:38
  Yeah, Dirty Dancing has them. Rocky has them.
• 21:41
  Especially if they have. Good music like like this movie.
• 21:43
  It's it's a good music going with the montage.
• 21:45
  So yeah, I I like that about you.
• 21:48
  So my most iconic scene is the you don't look like a Tanaka
• 21:52
  scene. That part is amazing because
• 21:55
  JCVD is like, OK, which brick do you want?
• 21:58
  And JCVD is short for Jean Claude and them.
• 22:01
  OK, so Jean Claude Van Damme's like, which brick?
• 22:04
  And he's like, OK, what about that one?
• 22:06
  Lynn picks the top brick, and then he's about to break it.
• 22:10
  And it's all like, you know, quiet.
• 22:12
  There's no music, there's no intensity.
• 22:14
  And it's just. Paul to what?
• 22:24
  You guys and then the music starts.
• 22:28
  It's like like some crazy music just to hype it up.
• 22:32
  And then you hear like the xylophone and then Van Dams
• 22:36
  looking at the brick and it's such a good camera angle.
• 22:38
  It's like from the bottom brick looking up at him and his eyes
• 22:41
  just balls out of his head and he's like OHS fucking smashes
• 22:49
  it. It's fucking.
• 22:50
  Ridiculous. So fucking.
• 22:51
  Sick. Do you know how many time you
• 22:54
  how many people have tried that in real life?
• 22:56
  You know, I think it's actually. Possible.
• 22:58
  No. So there it is.
• 23:01
  I'll talk about that later, but it actually is.
• 23:03
  But anyway, in the movie it's embellished like crazy.
• 23:06
  Like there's 5 or 6 bricks and the brick explodes like.
• 23:09
  It has a fucking piece of dynamite legendary.
• 23:11
  And then it breaks and everybody cheers and claps.
• 23:14
  And then that's when they introduced Chong Lee, right?
• 23:18
  He's looking at him, everybody's impressed except Chong Li, and
• 23:21
  he's just nodding with this little fucking smirk.
• 23:23
  He's like very good, but Brick not hit back and then gives him
• 23:28
  this fucking like unfriendly scowl and walks away.
• 23:31
  Like you show Van Damme's power, right?
• 23:34
  And then you show the villain of the the movie in one fucking
• 23:38
  epic 2 minute scene. It's awesome.
• 23:41
  Yeah, but honestly. The first time I watched it I
• 23:43
  was like who is that? It wasn't until Chongli cause
• 23:46
  it's like who is that? He was an integer.
• 23:48
  Dragon. He was one of the the baddies on
• 23:50
  that island. There's a Bruce Lee movie, never
• 23:52
  saw it. It's, you know, it's only.
• 23:54
  You know, inspired movies like Kill Bill 1 and 2.
• 23:56
  So it'll be a deal. But yeah, I have the bloodsport
• 24:00
  that that we honor your invitation and raised like no
• 24:03
  shit you honor his invitation. Like just to bring levity to the
• 24:08
  whole scene. It's fucking awesome.
• 24:10
  Listen mom, I have a lot of quotes.
• 24:12
  I'm gonna do them with the voices.
• 24:13
  It's gonna be fucking hilarious. So I'll let you go do yours 1st
• 24:17
  and then if there's one that I'm doing, I'll just do it with
• 24:19
  voice, OK? I only.
• 24:21
  Have I only have five? OK, go.
• 24:23
  So Dukes walks into Tanaka's room when he's sick and he goes
• 24:27
  are you asleep? And Tanaka just goes Do you
• 24:30
  sleep with your eyes open? Quote Underrated quote.
• 24:33
  Yeah, I like that. You you said this one already,
• 24:37
  but it you don't look like a Tanaka.
• 24:41
  And you? Also said this one already very
• 24:43
  good but Brick not hit back so good.
• 24:47
  And then there's a scene where the the military guys are coming
• 24:51
  to take Dukes away and Jackson goes who the hell are these
• 24:56
  scumbags? And then Rollins says stay out
• 24:59
  of this pal and Jackson goes, I ain't your pal, Dick face.
• 25:04
  Your pal Dick Face eat your pal Dick face.
• 25:09
  I love that line and. Then the last one can force
• 25:12
  Whittaker's. Such a random start his career,
• 25:14
  no? Is that like his breakout role
• 25:16
  or his introducing role? I don't know because.
• 25:19
  He's like, not really. In it, he's no, he's a couple.
• 25:22
  She's a side character, yeah. And then my last one.
• 25:24
  Is Jackson time to separate the men from the boys trying to
• 25:29
  separate the. Men from the boys.
• 25:30
  Just be careful. Strongly doesn't separate you
• 25:32
  hear from your body, Victor. Just be sure Chung Lee doesn't
• 25:36
  separate your head from your body, just to make sure.
• 25:38
  Chunky, don't separate your head from your body.
• 25:41
  Fucking love that. Lynn's fucking amazing in this.
• 25:44
  He's one of my favorite characters.
• 25:46
  Yeah, he's like the little brother.
• 25:47
  So I'll just go through my quotes.
• 25:50
  I said a few of them already, but I like to do it with the
• 25:52
  voices and inflections at the bottom.
• 25:54
  Brick gets broken. We honor your invitation.
• 25:57
  No shit. You honor his invitation and
• 25:59
  then Chong Lee very good. But Brick not hit back another
• 26:04
  Chong Lee like the guy has three lines in the movie.
• 26:07
  So you break my record, now I break you like I break your
• 26:11
  front. Such a fucking terrifying thing
• 26:15
  to say to somebody. And then Tanaka in that
• 26:18
  emotional scene when they're like mourning his son, I like
• 26:21
  when he loses his temper. And Van Damme at first because
• 26:23
  he's like, you are not Japanese. You are not you.
• 26:28
  Remember that scene I? Don't remember him saying that
• 26:31
  you don't. Remember saying that.
• 26:32
  Oh my God, I remember him like wanting.
• 26:34
  Van Dame to be the punching bag for his kid and.
• 26:38
  Then when they meet Lynn, he's like, I'm Lynn, you Jackson.
• 26:41
  You look like a Jackson Frank Dux.
• 26:45
  No, no, no, it's Dukes. And then when the reporters
• 26:49
  trying to get the get away from the the the Asian Middle Eastern
• 26:52
  guy, like what the fuck was that all about?
• 26:56
  But anyway, he's like, you come upstairs with me for an
• 26:59
  interview. Like hell, let go of me.
• 27:02
  You want to say no, no, Hussain is an asshole.
• 27:06
  What did you call me? And he goes to.
• 27:08
  Slap her. She's.
• 27:10
  Like prepared to be. Slapped in the face like yeah
• 27:12
  chill and then Van Damme. Stops him, he goes.
• 27:15
  Leaves the Gill alone. Is the American shithead who
• 27:18
  makes tricks with bricks. Guest committee starts one day
• 27:21
  earlier this year. Half fellas, he's like, if, if
• 27:25
  we get doing the fight, then both of us would be kicked out
• 27:28
  of the committee just for her. That's a fucking cool scene.
• 27:31
  He does that trick and saves her and then she's like, take me.
• 27:36
  I mean, she's not like, take me, right?
• 27:38
  But also she's like. Using him to get into the
• 27:41
  tournament. Well, she's not cause.
• 27:42
  She she doesn't get it with him. Yeah, but he probably.
• 27:45
  Gives her enough and she goes as a date of.
• 27:47
  Some like we don't know how much, she told.
• 27:49
  Her. He's like, you can't come in
• 27:50
  with me. But he don't know how much he
• 27:51
  told her. But yeah, that whole scene is
• 27:53
  amazing. Oh, yeah.
• 27:54
  More quotes. You take this coin.
• 27:57
  If I can crap it before you close your hand, I get the girl.
• 28:01
  If I cannot, she's yours. Very good.
• 28:07
  Those same guy, Ellen Lynn, when they're trying to get Van Dam
• 28:13
  into the tournament. What's the hold up?
• 28:15
  He says Senzo Tanaka is his shidoshi.
• 28:18
  What's the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his shidoshi?
• 28:22
  I fucking love that line. He gives no fucks like he's
• 28:25
  gotta invitation. Who gives a shit If Senzo Tanaka
• 28:28
  is his shidoshi then show us the Dimock.
• 28:33
  What the hell is a dumac death touch?
• 28:37
  Such a fucking. And then the bong goes off.
• 28:39
  Yeah, but did they? Make Tanaka sun do that.
• 28:43
  Like why? What Ohgi.
• 28:45
  It's probably because he's white.
• 28:46
  Probably. I mean it's two step
• 28:48
  verification. Like you got the invitation, but
• 28:51
  now I'll do the password. How many?
• 28:53
  How many motorcycles are in this image?
• 28:56
  What? Oh my God.
• 29:01
  OK, this is one of the best quotes.
• 29:03
  It's Lynn summarizing the tournament for us in like 10
• 29:06
  seconds. Small content.
• 29:10
  There are three. Ways to win.
• 29:11
  One and not the guide out. Two quits, Uncle free full fuck
• 29:20
  right off the runway. Piece of cake.
• 29:23
  And then Jax is like piece of cake.
• 29:25
  Yeah, there's a Jackson. Always does.
• 29:26
  Yeah, he's fucking Sycho. He's so.
• 29:29
  Sweaty though fuck like they all are.
• 29:31
  No, this guy's extra. Sweaty.
• 29:33
  Yeah, you got young Frank. I say this all the time.
• 29:36
  I wasn't going to steal it. Yeah, he does say that.
• 29:39
  All the time for such a bad line.
• 29:40
  Delivery, it's been stuck in my head forever.
• 29:43
  And then Chong Lee, you are next, right before he fights Van
• 29:48
  Damme at the end, he doesn't say the tea.
• 29:51
  I don't care what anybody says, he just drops the T.
• 29:55
  Why isn't accents on his fault? Hussein when he fights Van Damme
• 29:59
  after the coin trick when he loses the girl.
• 30:01
  Now I show you trick or two. This is ass handed to him.
• 30:06
  Oh my God, this whole movie is just quote that rich guy that
• 30:09
  brings the reporter in too late. No such thing as too late.
• 30:13
  Puts the money in the guys shirt and then as soon as Van Dame
• 30:16
  walks in, takes it right back. Back.
• 30:18
  Yeah, and then Lynn, immediately.
• 30:22
  It's about fucking time. And I wouldn't forget this for
• 30:25
  my fans, OK, you would say? Who is that that old guy?
• 30:31
  Is the bouncer, he's just looking at them.
• 30:32
  He's like, OK, you were saying, how do you not?
• 30:35
  Like, you missed that There's T-shirts with that guy's face
• 30:38
  and the thumbs up. And it says OK USA.
• 30:41
  Oh, my God, That's all the quotes.
• 30:43
  I think I got everything. It's about like, yeah, you just
• 30:46
  read. The whole thing I read like. 70
• 30:48
  minutes of the fucking scrubs. But there's so many good lines.
• 30:52
  Lynn's got a lot of them. Is this movie a classic or is it
• 30:57
  cancelled? Alright, so I've been.
• 30:59
  Waiting for this weather Frank Dukes actually won.
• 31:03
  The kumite is highly disputed and generally considered a
• 31:08
  fabrication. Yep.
• 31:10
  While Dukes. Maintains that he won a secret,
• 31:12
  no holds barred tournament in 1975.
• 31:15
  There's no independent, verifiable evidence to support
• 31:19
  the existence of the tournaments or his alleged 329 to 0 record.
• 31:28
  He claims. To be a Marshall, a martial
• 31:30
  artist. He claims to be a CIA.
• 31:33
  CIA operative. Yeah, there's.
• 31:35
  All he claims to have. Won an underground bare knuckle
• 31:38
  competition in the Bahamas in 1975, setting the record for the
• 31:42
  fastest knockout and the most consecutive knockouts.
• 31:46
  And this story is what inspired the 1988 film.
• 31:49
  But the only evidence of this event comes from Dukes is
• 31:53
  himself and a magazine that are that interviewed him.
• 31:56
  And critics point out that none of his supposed opponents ever
• 32:00
  came forward. Yeah.
• 32:01
  And nobody else verified his claims, including fighting in
• 32:05
  300 plus matches. And like I said, being a CIA
• 32:09
  operative, it's been heavily questioned.
• 32:12
  Yes, this. Story has been called.
• 32:14
  The wildest martial arts hoaxes of all time and a fabricated lie
• 32:18
  by researchers. Dukes.
• 32:20
  Has. Previously claimed that the
• 32:22
  military and others tried to discredit him by destroying the
• 32:25
  records, but it's more likely that he just is somebody who
• 32:29
  tells tall tales. So while Bloodsport is a martial
• 32:32
  arts classic, it's claimed to be based on a true story is not
• 32:36
  backed by any evidence whatsoever.
• 32:38
  Yeah, and the Kumatai itself is probably not something that was
• 32:43
  ever real side. It's.
• 32:44
  Funny, it's like this Side Story.
• 32:45
  You could make a documentary about the making of this movie
• 32:48
  now with Frank Dukes like you can at the end of.
• 32:51
  The movie They're like This is based on a true story.
• 32:53
  This is what Duke said. But that was the time nobody
• 32:56
  looked into. It you couldn't it.
• 32:57
  Was the time, remember, when there was no Internet?
• 33:00
  You couldn't shut up and you were a kid and people would just
• 33:03
  say things, this guy claimed. To invent a type of martial arts
• 33:07
  you that's also a lie. He lied about everything.
• 33:10
  I, I, you know. What I kind of missed those
• 33:12
  days. I kind of missed the days where
• 33:14
  you could be a kid and be like, my daddy bought an airplane.
• 33:17
  It's like, oh, that's so cool. My God.
• 33:21
  Instagram and like, well, your dad didn't post with the air.
• 33:23
  How much is? Coming up on OHP, it's like
• 33:26
  $1,000,000 for an airplane. Oh, well, your dad only makes
• 33:29
  $50,000 a year saying he couldn't about an airplane, You
• 33:32
  know what I mean? Like, this was the time where
• 33:34
  you could just, like, know some martial arts and just lie about
• 33:38
  shit. I won this tournament.
• 33:40
  Yeah, it was a more innocent time.
• 33:42
  But this guy lied heavily to the extent of making up this fake
• 33:47
  intense tournament and lied to these movie makers to make a
• 33:50
  movie about him. No kudos to.
• 33:52
  Him. But The thing is for everyone
• 33:54
  that I'm not, I'm not, I'm not saying it's true, but there's a
• 33:57
  lot of the Internet that love this movie.
• 33:59
  And then when this shit came out, they like you so stupid.
• 34:03
  Frank Dukes, He's a fraud. There's a listen.
• 34:06
  They did the same thing to Steven Seagal, OK.
• 34:09
  And yeah, Segal has had some shit and he's done some crazy
• 34:12
  shit. Like he hangs out with world
• 34:14
  leaders that people like. Why are you hanging out with
• 34:16
  them? It was a time where you couldn't
• 34:18
  prove stuff. Not everything was caught.
• 34:20
  Like they still say the space and it was was fake, you know,
• 34:24
  because because they're like, how did you get this footage?
• 34:26
  How did you get this? They didn't have the footage.
• 34:28
  They not everything was recorded right.
• 34:30
  And they're trying to do this with blue Bruce Lee.
• 34:32
  I'm not comparing Bruce Lee to Frank Dukes, but Bruce Lee's
• 34:35
  getting discredited now for a lot of stuff because you know
• 34:38
  how society is. The time passes and then people
• 34:41
  forget and people don't, you know, read and they just read
• 34:43
  what idiots saying this is. Drastic, he laughed with for
• 34:46
  every person that. Says Frank Dukes made it up.
• 34:49
  There's somebody that says, no, I was there.
• 34:52
  I saw it. I was.
• 34:53
  We were researching in this and I found footage of this guy at a
• 34:56
  tournament. It's black and white.
• 34:58
  You can't hear anything. So who's to say?
• 35:01
  Yeah, I'm sure he competed. In some tournaments, but he
• 35:03
  made-up the kumatai and he made-up like all these
• 35:06
  incredible records he broke and nobody was there to say he know
• 35:11
  he didn't do that. So people just believed him.
• 35:13
  Yeah, Well, he. Created a fucking movie out of
• 35:17
  his fake story that he made, and the movie fucking slaps.
• 35:21
  And good for him, he got paid. I'm sure the guy knows martial
• 35:25
  arts. I've seen the footage, he has
• 35:27
  students. You know, for everybody that
• 35:29
  says he's a fraud, there's somebody that says he's not, you
• 35:34
  know, I'm sure. He knows some martial arts, I'm
• 35:36
  sure he has thoughts on fighting.
• 35:38
  There's movies about it, there's there's underground fighting
• 35:41
  tournaments. Obviously it's super embellished
• 35:44
  in this movie, like there's gambling involved, like, but
• 35:47
  it's kind of believable because he says the triads are involved.
• 35:49
  So they control the underground stuff in in China and they're
• 35:54
  like, OK, well, his, his. Story was based on a fighting
• 35:58
  competition in the Bahamas. It wasn't even in China.
• 36:00
  No, it wasn't in China. They changed, he said.
• 36:02
  They changed it for the movie, but yeah, it was in the Bahamas.
• 36:05
  And some of the stuff he says, 56 knockouts like or something
• 36:10
  like that. It's crazy.
• 36:10
  Like 3. 100 plus 1/01. Two, fastest knockout kick.
• 36:15
  Like like who? Who timed that?
• 36:18
  How do you get that time? You know what I mean?
• 36:20
  That's the thing. It was.
• 36:21
  An underground tournament, so there's no record of it.
• 36:23
  So you can say whatever you want.
• 36:24
  No, I know, but. If he did lie, he fucking, he
• 36:27
  finessed everybody. I don't think anybody got hurt.
• 36:31
  That's what he did Lie. And then like, it's kind of just
• 36:33
  a bummer to find out it was a whole lie when you watch this
• 36:36
  whole movie and then you're told at the end that it was real.
• 36:38
  But I was shocked when they said it was like, this was real.
• 36:41
  It's. Interesting.
• 36:42
  Yeah. It's interesting though, when
• 36:45
  the movie becomes bigger than the lie.
• 36:47
  I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, but.
• 36:49
  That's the thing. This could be a fictional story.
• 36:51
  That's fine. It wouldn't have made it better
• 36:54
  or worse. They could have just said it was
• 36:56
  made-up. I'm glad we.
• 36:57
  Brought up the Dukes thing right away because yeah, it's a, it's
• 37:01
  a hot topic and people try to talk about it and how he's
• 37:05
  discredited and stuff and the guys never really come out and
• 37:07
  said anything. So it's a good chance that he's
• 37:09
  lied. But man, to make a freaking
• 37:12
  there's there's sequels to this. There's, you know, there's blood
• 37:15
  sport too. I saw online.
• 37:16
  There were SQL. He toted a story around
• 37:18
  Hollywood and it sold. Yeah, good for him.
• 37:20
  Like good for you dude, but it's not true but.
• 37:23
  Hollywood's full. Of liars, that's all they do.
• 37:24
  So just like they lie true, somebody gets lucky and they
• 37:28
  they become famous and rich. But I wrote, you know, is this
• 37:32
  movie classic or cancelled? Well, you know, aside from the
• 37:34
  Dukes thing, this is a martial arts movie.
• 37:37
  Classic. Jean Claude Van Damme's poster
• 37:40
  can be found in any MMA and karate school.
• 37:43
  Even though the Franks Duke thing, Frank Dukes thing is
• 37:46
  still like a sham, people love this movie.
• 37:50
  Like if you go to a Dojo or karate Dojo, you'll see this
• 37:53
  movie poster. It's pinnacle of martial arts
• 37:55
  movie before everything got too serious.
• 37:57
  You know, like, they make MMA movies and fighting Movies Now,
• 38:01
  and you've seen like The Fighter and then you see Rocky and
• 38:05
  they're very different. The Fighter looks like it's
• 38:08
  being filmed in a real boxing ring.
• 38:10
  It says HBO and stuff like that. The Rocky movies were just like,
• 38:14
  you know, cartoony 80s chaos. You know, everybody's on roids,
• 38:19
  but this movie still comes out on top, is entertaining even for
• 38:22
  someone who isn't a fan of the genre necessarily.
• 38:25
  And you, you said it's entertaining.
• 38:27
  You can get through it. It's not like you got to turn it
• 38:29
  off. However, we got to talk about
• 38:32
  the tree jumping fighter, the black guy.
• 38:37
  So I I looked. Into him.
• 38:38
  What the fuck is going on? So that is a.
• 38:41
  That's a real type of martial arts.
• 38:43
  It's called Monkey Kung Fu, OK? And you?
• 38:46
  Are supposed to act monkey like. It's supposed to confuse your
• 38:50
  opponent and the movements are supposed to be like that
• 38:53
  because. It's it's it's basically it's an
• 38:58
  agile. Way of fighting, yeah.
• 39:00
  But I could. See how it could be construed as
• 39:03
  offensive because he is acting like a monkey.
• 39:06
  Yeah, so the actor who was actually a martial artist, Eric
• 39:10
  Neff, was a practitioner of seven star praying mantis Kung
• 39:13
  Fu who imitated monkey style, which is called Who Quan for the
• 39:17
  role. After his training in Hong Kong.
• 39:20
  The character is briefly seen in the movie performing like this
• 39:23
  crazy jump where he's jumping on people and jumping on a tree and
• 39:26
  he cracks one guy's head open like a coconut.
• 39:29
  I knew it had to. Be a real type of fighting
• 39:31
  because he was so agile and he was doing it so seamlessly.
• 39:35
  Yeah. Like, there's no way this was
• 39:36
  just made-up for the movie. Yeah, it's an authentic.
• 39:39
  Chinese martial arts that includes includes acrobatic,
• 39:43
  sudden and deceptive techniques involving rolls, flips and
• 39:46
  grappling. And the guy after the movie
• 39:49
  became a specialized instructor in capoeira, which is like the
• 39:52
  Brazilian it looks like dancing almost.
• 39:55
  It's rhythmic martial arts. I've heard of that martial arts.
• 39:57
  Basically. Using your momentum and timing.
• 40:00
  Hmm. But yeah, it's a real thing.
• 40:03
  So yeah. Cause we.
• 40:04
  We. Weren't sure, I guess.
• 40:06
  Yeah, we weren't sure when we saw it because we weren't.
• 40:08
  What the fuck? Is this?
• 40:09
  We weren't sure if it was. Made-up and so that just kind.
• 40:12
  Of shows that they really did some homework for this movie
• 40:14
  because they showed us something that we're like yo, that's hella
• 40:17
  racist bro, but it's a real thing yeah, it's well and.
• 40:20
  There's there's, there's so many different types of fighting
• 40:22
  shown in this. Yeah, from dog boxing to sumo
• 40:25
  wrestling. There's a sumo wrestler shown.
• 40:28
  Muay Thai. Jiu Jitsu, basically like
• 40:32
  Nando's. Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Karate.
• 40:35
  Like basically using this. There's some wushu, yeah, like a
• 40:38
  lot of. Different martial arts are
• 40:39
  showcased. That one was just very odd and
• 40:41
  unique. Yeah, the sumo.
• 40:43
  Wrestler guys, but it is real. Yeah.
• 40:46
  The more you know the. Rainbow, the more you know, next
• 40:51
  segment is party like it's 2026. Yeah.
• 40:55
  So just to kind of stay on the topic that we were just talking
• 40:58
  about, if this movie was made today, it would not be about a
• 41:01
  white guy beating every other ethnicity in martial arts.
• 41:04
  Yeah, that's a good point. The lead would.
• 41:06
  Likely be a Chinese or Japanese person if we're going to be
• 41:09
  honest. Oh.
• 41:10
  Probably, yeah. Yeah, maybe.
• 41:12
  Depends. They did that Karate Kid movie
• 41:14
  with Bruce Lee with Will Smith son Jaden Smith, remember before
• 41:19
  he became all crazy it. Can be somebody of a different
• 41:22
  race. I'm just saying like typically
• 41:24
  it wouldn't just like be showing a white person dummying
• 41:26
  everybody. Yeah, they probably would have
• 41:28
  somebody with a different background.
• 41:31
  Yeah, so in this. Movie.
• 41:32
  If it was in 2026, um, it would be basically UFC but with no
• 41:38
  rules, which really happened. I don't know if you know this
• 41:41
  the original UFC that started in 1993, there were no weight
• 41:45
  classes right? So you'd have really light guys
• 41:48
  fighting with heavy big tall guys, which is not allowed
• 41:51
  anymore because you can really do some damage, right?
• 41:54
  Because there's weight classes in boxing for reason could
• 41:57
  easily. Kill someone and.
• 41:59
  Basically, there was almost no rules, no time limits, and it
• 42:02
  was a tournament designed to see who and which martial arts would
• 42:06
  come out on top. It's it really happened.
• 42:08
  And then, you know, I think ownership changed and stuff like
• 42:11
  that. And they cleaned it up.
• 42:13
  You know, they tried to make it a little bit more humane.
• 42:17
  Cause there were some fights, I think that were not allowed to
• 42:20
  show on TV. Like you'd have to buy this and
• 42:22
  like, remember, you'd have to like special order tape
• 42:24
  sometimes. Yeah.
• 42:25
  And you could. And you could never prove what
• 42:27
  what martial arts is the best because it all depends on the
• 42:30
  martial artist. There could be somebody
• 42:31
  incredible at karate and somebody equally is incredible
• 42:34
  at jujitsu also. I want to give a little kudos to
• 42:37
  Van Damme. Nobody else in this day and age
• 42:41
  could bring the charisma that he brings in this movie.
• 42:44
  You know, his acting is not the best, but I've seen worse.
• 42:48
  And the martial arts like the the Roundhouse kick that this
• 42:52
  guy gives, even you were amazed and you don't nothing about
• 42:55
  martial arts and you. Saw how high?
• 42:57
  His leg went, he kicked me like what the fuck?
• 42:59
  He's talented and he's athletic, and he told me that he actually
• 43:02
  took ballet to be able to, yeah, do some of those really high
• 43:05
  kicks and splits and stuff. Yeah, that is impressive.
• 43:07
  He's very super super. Athletic and I think there.
• 43:11
  Are other actors that are equally as athletic these days
• 43:14
  that could? I don't think I could.
• 43:16
  I couldn't come up with anybody to replace him in this if it
• 43:18
  was. I'm just saying.
• 43:19
  Direct replacement. But yeah, for me, I said to
• 43:23
  replace Frank Dukes, you could do Chris Evans because I did
• 43:27
  some research. Chris Evans is highly trained in
• 43:30
  Brazilian jujitsu and karate flips in.
• 43:33
  The movies he does himself, yeah, he's.
• 43:36
  He's very athletic and he's he's trained.
• 43:38
  And another person I chose that could have been Frank Dukes is
• 43:41
  Chris Hemsworth. Yeah.
• 43:43
  And similarly, he's highly trained in Muay Thai, boxing and
• 43:48
  other mixed martial art. Have to be.
• 43:50
  Ray Jackson, you'd be perfect for it.
• 43:52
  I did originally. Have him as Jackson, but he he's
• 43:55
  too much of A leading man. And for me, I wanted Jackson to
• 43:58
  be somebody huge, so I picked Jason Momoa.
• 44:02
  Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, because he's got the
• 44:04
  biker vibe too. He has the charisma.
• 44:06
  And he's enormous because it has to be somebody who's who's big
• 44:09
  and yeah, he has like the bad guy biker vibes with the tattoos
• 44:13
  and stuff. So I thought he would make a
• 44:15
  really good Jackson for for today's age.
• 44:18
  And for Chung, Li actually picked Similou, who plays Not
• 44:24
  big enough. Though he plays Shang.
• 44:26
  Chi yeah, yeah. In the Marvel movie, he has
• 44:30
  advanced training in Tai Chi and Wing Chung.
• 44:33
  For the Shang Chi movie, he specifically trained highly in
• 44:36
  martial arts, and he also had previous martial arts training
• 44:38
  throughout his youth. So he could be a really good
• 44:41
  villain. You're saying you don't think
• 44:43
  he's big enough? But he is in really good shape.
• 44:45
  He's fucking. Enormous.
• 44:46
  The guy's chest is like, you're not gonna find.
• 44:48
  An actor today that's like that, they'll be, you'd have to be on
• 44:52
  it. Have to be a like a wrestler.
• 44:53
  It couldn't be a real traditional actor, you know, I'd
• 44:56
  have to be as somebody who's like 6 foot 5.
• 44:58
  And just like I used to play football.
• 45:01
  John Lee is not. 6 foot 5 in this movie he looks.
• 45:04
  Towering, he looks huge. He's not.
• 45:07
  I know he's not. But when he's next to Jackson in
• 45:09
  the ring he looks like, I don't know if it's the camera work or
• 45:12
  something, but the guy just looks like a couch with legs
• 45:14
  walking towards you. I guess they can't.
• 45:16
  Have Jackson towering over him because it would take away his
• 45:18
  menacing Ness. But they look kind of.
• 45:21
  Evenly even Stevens in the in the ring, yeah, but I don't
• 45:25
  think. He's that big.
• 45:27
  That's the biggest fuck. Up he had him.
• 45:29
  He should have just ended it. I know he just got.
• 45:31
  Two, he got too cocky, got way too cocky.
• 45:33
  Like how cocky are you bro this guy just killed like 6 people.
• 45:36
  You turned your back just. Cause the guy like took a knee.
• 45:38
  Basically, the guy took a. Knee like it's not, it's not
• 45:41
  done. He just killed a.
• 45:42
  Bunch of people. Like, do you think he's gonna
• 45:44
  let you live? Yeah.
• 45:46
  He's lucky he survived. He was lucky to.
• 45:48
  Survive. Yeah, he put him in the.
• 45:50
  Hospital in a coma, yeah. Did you?
• 45:53
  So you said you couldn't find anybody breakfast this.
• 45:56
  And you know, also, I just want to say the action guys, the 80s,
• 46:00
  there were a different breed. You had Stallone, you had Arnie,
• 46:04
  you know, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Carl Weathers.
• 46:07
  Like these guys were built different.
• 46:10
  They they were on that special old school roids.
• 46:12
  I swear they were just there on the roads that.
• 46:15
  Absolutely destroy your genitals and make you so enormous burst
• 46:19
  out of your. Asshole, how is Arnold?
• 46:21
  Still alive. Like seriously.
• 46:24
  I don't know. He's made it to a.
• 46:26
  Decently old age for a roid guy he was.
• 46:29
  Yeah, he's, he's a big boy. So alright, can you watch this
• 46:33
  with your parents? Yeah, it's very violent.
• 46:39
  Yeah. So it's not necessarily like a
• 46:41
  wholesome family movie, but sure, there's no nudity and the
• 46:44
  sexuality is very mild. Like when Frank Dukes has sex
• 46:48
  with Janice, it is kind of awkward scene where Frank wakes
• 46:53
  up after spending the night with Janis and she's watching him
• 46:56
  from across the room and he's just adjusting like his skin
• 46:59
  tight maroon undies. Yeah, that's a little
• 47:02
  uncomfortable. Became a.
• 47:03
  Thing showing Van Damme's rear end in movies, It just became a
• 47:07
  thing. Well, yeah, it's nice.
• 47:09
  But she was. Wearing women's underwear.
• 47:11
  Basically you I mean and they. Were marooned.
• 47:15
  They. Gotta be tight.
• 47:16
  He's gonna fight like. The Speedo before it was.
• 47:19
  Speedo, does he have kids? Was he was wearing some tight
• 47:22
  underwear? Maybe you not supposed to
• 47:24
  serious from yeah. Yeah, Now I think he has kids.
• 47:26
  He's the muscles from Brussels. What do you want?
• 47:29
  I said yes. Anyone can appreciate John
• 47:31
  Claude Van Damme's motivation in this movie.
• 47:34
  You know, he's training. He's trying to honor somebody.
• 47:36
  But also people can just like, I don't care who you are.
• 47:40
  The fight scenes in this, like this used to be playing in my
• 47:42
  house. And doesn't matter who was
• 47:45
  watching, they'd walk by and they'd see somebody do, like,
• 47:48
  martial arts move and just fuck somebody up.
• 47:51
  Like it. People just watch.
• 47:53
  They don't look away. I caught you looking up when
• 47:56
  you're making your notes a second time, just looking at the
• 47:58
  fights. I was like, oh, like she can
• 48:01
  appreciate a good, you know, a good martial arts match.
• 48:04
  Yeah. Yeah, I looked.
• 48:05
  Into it. But when when you say that about
• 48:07
  just people walking by, I just pretty sure you and your
• 48:09
  brothers just like bullying your sisters growing up and being
• 48:12
  like, no, you're not watching TV.
• 48:13
  We're watching this. Your sister is being like
• 48:15
  Bloodsport again. Fuck no.
• 48:19
  There was enough TV's in the house.
• 48:21
  They watched Friends anyway. That's all they're gonna watch.
• 48:26
  OK, What's your favorite supporting character and least
• 48:28
  favorite it's? Obviously, my favorite is
• 48:31
  Jackson. What you think you can give me
• 48:37
  some competition? Sure, I'll try.
• 48:41
  That's what I like to hear. Kitty wasn't afraid to lose.
• 48:44
  No, no, I got. I want to take the money.
• 48:49
  You ready, Jackson? You look like a Jackson.
• 48:52
  Yeah, he does look like. A Jackson, he has a lot of
• 48:55
  awesome 1 liners. He's a hardcore fighter, but
• 48:58
  he's also the Comic Relief of the movie.
• 49:01
  Yeah, and he has a really good attitude.
• 49:03
  He like, he brings a lot of levity.
• 49:05
  And he's also a good friend of Frank.
• 49:07
  Like, Frank's really devastated when he's hurt because he's,
• 49:10
  he's a good friend to him. So I, I, I liked him.
• 49:13
  Did you like the ending? Scene.
• 49:14
  He's like anytime, any place, anywhere.
• 49:17
  Yeah, and he looks. In with like his cock eye and
• 49:19
  his crooked ass teeth and he's like anytime, yeah and then.
• 49:23
  Says I love you my friend, and he says me too.
• 49:27
  They kissed. No, he kissed him on.
• 49:29
  His head, because he's in the hospital.
• 49:31
  His buddy. I mean, it was.
• 49:33
  It was a little much. Yeah, he was there.
• 49:35
  For him, the guy could have died in the China hospital.
• 49:38
  Nobody would have known. Yeah, is.
• 49:40
  Is your favorite Victor? Yeah, Mindlin.
• 49:42
  Yeah, Jackson, you look like a Jackson.
• 49:44
  He's so funny, the guys. Like you can't judge his acting
• 49:48
  because he's delivering these fucking lines.
• 49:50
  Like I actually think he's probably 1.
• 49:52
  Of the best areas, he's probably one of the best actors in the
• 49:55
  movie because he he does what he's supposed to do and he
• 49:57
  doesn't he's supposed to. Do he makes you laugh?
• 49:59
  And he he serious when he is? And then, you know, when he's
• 50:03
  walking them through Kowloon City, the Walled City in Hong
• 50:07
  Kong, which is now like been destroyed.
• 50:09
  He's talking about how like the triads are allowing to to have
• 50:12
  this underground competition here.
• 50:14
  Like, it's just really interesting narration almost, or
• 50:17
  like it's exposition for the audience as to what's going on
• 50:21
  and what this tournament is about.
• 50:22
  And he's just fucking cool. You know, he's like, it's about
• 50:25
  fucking time. Yeah.
• 50:27
  He's he's. Some Comic Relief as well.
• 50:29
  So my least favorite character is Janice.
• 50:32
  She begs to be included and invited into Kumatai and then
• 50:36
  after watching like literally one fight she tries to talk
• 50:40
  Frank out of fighting and then she tells on him to the police.
• 50:44
  I know. Then the next day she goes back
• 50:47
  to the fight and she's smiling at him.
• 50:50
  Like the fire? She's the worst.
• 50:52
  Also, if you're a. Hardcore reporter looking to
• 50:55
  report on an underground fighting match.
• 50:59
  You should have a little bit of a thicker skin.
• 51:02
  Yeah, She she couldn't. She like, watched one fight and
• 51:04
  she was like, Oh my God, this is so violent.
• 51:07
  What did you say? It's it's it's.
• 51:08
  It's why they call it. Illegal.
• 51:10
  Why? They call it Bloodsport.
• 51:11
  Kid, that's a quote we didn't say.
• 51:14
  It's it's fucking line of the movie Contact.
• 51:16
  Illegal underground fighting ring.
• 51:18
  Yeah, I know. Of course it's.
• 51:20
  Going to be violent. So like she pissed me off so
• 51:24
  much I didn't like her at all. She's my least favorite.
• 51:27
  As well I just I just wrote 2 words I'm just gonna freestyle
• 51:31
  it like I I wrote she sucks like she's just suck.
• 51:34
  She does suck. OK so no offence cause she's.
• 51:37
  Like the only woman in the movie.
• 51:38
  I'm not trying to be anti woman listen but if.
• 51:40
  You're an investigative reporter and you know that there's this
• 51:43
  underground gang mob related illegal fighting competition.
• 51:48
  The last thing you're going to do is go around these fighters
• 51:52
  and tell them you're fucking order.
• 51:55
  You're gonna go in undercover from the second you land in Hong
• 51:58
  Kong. You don't want anybody to know
• 52:00
  your reporter, you know? And then she sleeps with one of
• 52:03
  the fighters. So you kind of make yourself
• 52:06
  seem kind of cheap because we obviously understand her
• 52:09
  motivations and I'm not trying to shit on her.
• 52:12
  Only Van Damme. What are you doing?
• 52:14
  You're not supposed to be in bed with a woman when you're about
• 52:18
  to fight. Everybody knows that.
• 52:19
  Yeah. And also.
• 52:20
  If he's like supposedly like does all this meditation and
• 52:23
  he's super into fighting and focused.
• 52:25
  Why are you? Why are you fucking?
• 52:26
  Someone you don't even know you right before your first
• 52:28
  reporter? What if you?
• 52:29
  Catch syphilis bro. What if you get itchy in the
• 52:32
  middle of a fight? Well, I'm sure he is.
• 52:33
  You know what if you what? If you start scratching in the
• 52:35
  middle of fight and you're, you know you.
• 52:38
  I'm just. Saying fighters are it's
• 52:40
  traditional. It's known that they're supposed
• 52:42
  to stay abstinent before 4 weeks before a fight because it
• 52:45
  increases focus, aggression, everything.
• 52:47
  You know, it always like who was it?
• 52:49
  I think it was Muhammad Ali said women weak in the legs.
• 52:52
  I think it was him that said that.
• 52:53
  So yeah, like you're supposed to keep keep away for a little
• 52:57
  while. This guy just like, oh, I just
• 52:59
  saw Chong Lee just murder a bunch of people.
• 53:02
  And I'm going to just go, you know, with this reporter.
• 53:04
  But they talk about it in. Spartacus, too, like the
• 53:07
  gladiators are like, don't have sex before you're gonna go into
• 53:09
  the ring because it like, a week, like love weakens you.
• 53:12
  Yeah, exactly. And I mean.
• 53:14
  Yeah, now. Scientifically, I don't think
• 53:17
  there's any proof that that's true, but I think it's
• 53:20
  psychological for the man it could be.
• 53:23
  I'm glad we both agree. That the reporter is trashed.
• 53:26
  This is the. Worst, I don't even remember
• 53:27
  her. Name.
• 53:27
  I just put report. Janice.
• 53:29
  Yeah. Cultural impact.
• 53:30
  You want you wanna go for? You want me to go first?
• 53:32
  You can go first. OK, I got 2 words.
• 53:35
  Mortal Kombat. That's in mine.
• 53:37
  Too this movie. Inspired the franchise video
• 53:42
  game and what became to turn into a movie multiple movies.
• 53:47
  Mortal Kombat the creators of the game they wanted the
• 53:51
  character of Frank Dukes. Jean-Claude Van They wanted to
• 53:57
  make a game out of Bloodsport and they couldn't come up with a
• 54:00
  deal so they just stole the character so Johnny Cage is
• 54:04
  based on. Frank Dukes.
• 54:07
  And he looks exactly like him. Yeah, and.
• 54:12
  For years and years and years everybody knew this.
• 54:14
  And then about decades later, in 2020, yeah decades later, 2023,
• 54:19
  they got a deal made and Van Dams likeness and voice is the
• 54:25
  one of the skins for the Johnny Cage character.
• 54:28
  Exactly from. Bloodsport, it's really cool
• 54:31
  when you look it up, like it's something you can download.
• 54:33
  It's a DLC. No, that is cool.
• 54:36
  I think it's pretty. Cool.
• 54:37
  But also, you know, Karate Kid brought sign ups of kids to
• 54:40
  karate by bloodsport, made adults get martial arts
• 54:43
  memberships, you know what I mean?
• 54:45
  Yeah, it. It it definitely inspired
• 54:47
  martial arts popularity and spurred a new interest in
• 54:52
  training in the late 1980s, early 1990s.
• 54:56
  And it's noted for being one of the first Western films to
• 54:58
  showcase Muay Thai. Yeah.
• 55:00
  Yeah, I believe that. I didn't know that.
• 55:03
  Yeah, it. Also is the influence on M&K
• 55:06
  about sports, It's credited with popularizing the concept of no
• 55:10
  holds barred tournament, Yeah, and showcasing various fighting
• 55:13
  styles like you said, which which was part of the rise of of
• 55:17
  UFC. Yeah.
• 55:18
  So it was one of the direct inspirations.
• 55:21
  For martial for. MMA and UFC now people, they
• 55:24
  mix. Different styles to create.
• 55:26
  Like basically you weaponize yourself into becoming this
• 55:30
  unsolvable fighter that you can get out of all kinds of
• 55:33
  different styles. And yeah, which is cool.
• 55:35
  Because a lot of people that study martial arts, they will
• 55:38
  study more than one kind. Well, Bruce Lee developed.
• 55:41
  Jeet Kundo Hmm. And he felt like there were the
• 55:44
  old systems were too rigid and it's he said you need to be
• 55:48
  liquid like water. You gotta be able to switch
• 55:50
  styles in the middle of a fight cause you don't know what the
• 55:53
  person across from you is going to bring.
• 55:55
  Yeah, you should you. Should be able to to know if a
• 55:57
  few different styles and most people that study martial arts,
• 56:00
  there's more than one type that they know how to do.
• 56:02
  Yeah, my brothers. They grew up doing Kung Fu, and
• 56:06
  then my oldest brother went into karate.
• 56:08
  Yeah, he's a black. Early adult, Yeah.
• 56:10
  And so he, he knows a lot more about martial arts than I do.
• 56:15
  And he's the one who brought this movie home.
• 56:17
  Yeah. And he.
• 56:18
  He. He went on to teach martial arts
• 56:19
  to kids too. He had his own.
• 56:21
  He had his own karate studio. Always tried to get me.
• 56:23
  Into it and I just, I don't know.
• 56:24
  I couldn't do it. I don't know why.
• 56:26
  Um, it's it's. Also a cult classic.
• 56:30
  Ohe yeah, this movie. Despite mixed.
• 56:31
  Critical reviews on the release it it grew a massive loyal fan
• 56:35
  base and it's known for iconic iconic quotes, training montages
• 56:39
  and the soundtrack song fight to survive, which which should be
• 56:43
  on everybody's cool. It should.
• 56:45
  Be on everybody's. Workout workout mix because it
• 56:47
  it really does get you going. Similar to Eye of the Tiger.
• 56:50
  Freaking awesome. It's.
• 56:51
  The martial arts equivalent of I of the Tiger, I think.
• 56:54
  Yeah. And also Jean-Claude Van Damme
• 56:57
  splits. Culturally iconic.
• 56:59
  He has that Volvo truck commercial.
• 57:00
  You remember that you ever seen that commercial?
• 57:03
  There's 2 Volvo semis, like 18 Wheelers and there's, they're,
• 57:06
  they're right next to each other, but you don't see them.
• 57:09
  Van Dams got 1 foot on each of the roof and they start to drive
• 57:13
  apart and he slowly does the splits and they're driving
• 57:17
  perfectly the distance so that he can do the splits between
• 57:20
  them. It's obviously, you know, not
• 57:23
  done that way because it's super dangerous.
• 57:25
  But it it was a random Volvo commercial like 30 years after
• 57:29
  this movie and he was still doing the splits.
• 57:32
  The guy is freaking amazing. Like, literally.
• 57:34
  Just every like does that not hurt his his nut sack?
• 57:37
  No. It's you stretch you, you, you
• 57:40
  train the muscles and the joints and ligaments to be able to do
• 57:43
  that. It's just cause.
• 57:44
  Anytime he does that, like in the movie, Jackson's like, if
• 57:47
  you ever wanna have kids, you might want to stop doing that.
• 57:49
  Like, I'm hurting just looking at you.
• 57:50
  Yeah, you might. Wanna have kids these days?
• 57:53
  I love that line. I can't believe we didn't say
• 57:54
  that one. Yeah.
• 57:57
  He's been training martial arts since he was 10.
• 57:59
  Van Damme. Yeah.
• 58:00
  And he's actual champion. I looked up some of his titles,
• 58:03
  so yeah, I, I. Believe that he was.
• 58:05
  He was in incredible shape, and he obviously nobody was doing.
• 58:08
  Yeah, but the splits and the high kicks are just insane.
• 58:11
  Like, that amount of flexibility is rare in men.
• 58:13
  Yeah, he's always oiled. Up every scene no matter what
• 58:16
  before the fight starts, he just shiny the guy I was talking with
• 58:19
  you. Were watching the movie too and
• 58:21
  I was like the the shape he's in he either is on steroids or he
• 58:27
  is super unhealthy like not eating enough calories or
• 58:30
  drinking enough water because that's the only way you can make
• 58:33
  yourself look that chiseled. Super athletic.
• 58:35
  I think just his body was trained that way, yeah.
• 58:38
  Also, do you know how he got the role?
• 58:40
  No. I heard.
• 58:41
  That he was following the movie producer around Hollywood like
• 58:45
  crazy and he was annoying the guy and he said, I need to be in
• 58:47
  this movie and he's in this movie.
• 58:49
  And the guy is like, no, get away from me.
• 58:50
  And he did a fucking Roundhouse kick in the air in street
• 58:54
  clothes. And the guys like you got the
• 58:57
  fucking job. He's like, you're, you're good.
• 59:00
  He did his his signature Roundhouse kick and everybody's
• 59:03
  like so cringey. That's fucking.
• 59:05
  Gangster, watch this. Yeah, I bet you if you did the
• 59:10
  splits, the guy wouldn't have cared, but he did a Roundhouse
• 59:12
  kick that he's like, I've never seen anything like that.
• 59:14
  So that's epic. The soundtrack, we mentioned it.
• 59:18
  It's 80s montage heaven. Honestly, yeah, it's just any
• 59:22
  montage you can come up with. You can play this in the
• 59:25
  background. It's very 80s.
• 59:27
  With the. And literally made a month out
• 59:38
  of that song, The Fight to Survive with clips of me playing
• 59:42
  basketball, like as a joke. So yeah, it's it's very. 80s
• 59:46
  very sports. Oriented.
• 59:50
  Yeah, yeah, like this. There's a little bit of
• 59:52
  synthetic song like synthetic sound in it.
• 59:56
  It it, it matches the movie pretty perfectly.
• 59:58
  Cool. Cool, me too.
• 1:00:01
  Even the slower songs like the opening, when the opening
• 1:00:04
  sequence where they show like they're getting the ring ready
• 1:00:07
  and then you see the different fighters.
• 1:00:09
  It's like, fuck, man. Like it's cool.
• 1:00:11
  They introduced Chong Lee breaking ice blocks the size of
• 1:00:14
  like, Yeah, that was pretty good.
• 1:00:16
  That's. Fucking sick dude.
• 1:00:18
  That was pretty cool. That's.
• 1:00:19
  Cool. I think it was really cool.
• 1:00:22
  Tomorrow we leave for the committee.
• 1:00:26
  OK, location, location, location.
• 1:00:28
  What do you got? I kind of.
• 1:00:30
  Touched on this earlier, but Tanaka's backyard.
• 1:00:33
  OK the montage back there is awesome and we see Frank Dukes
• 1:00:37
  becoming a badass. Plus I like the fighting mats
• 1:00:40
  that they battle on and the the medieval torture devices.
• 1:00:46
  Yeah, we're like how? Fucked they.
• 1:00:48
  Ties them just. To ropes and then just chooses
• 1:00:50
  Did you find? Out who came up with that?
• 1:00:51
  Whose idea was that I didn't look at.
• 1:00:53
  It was like, look. What I can do, You pull my leg
• 1:00:56
  this way, I pull my leg that way and I do it.
• 1:00:59
  You just record. No, somebody on the.
• 1:01:00
  Movie is just a fucking freak and you came up with that those,
• 1:01:03
  Maybe they're like yellow. I wanna break this guy in half
• 1:01:06
  pulls full of fucking robes. You my location favorite
• 1:01:11
  location is the arena. I think it's perfect.
• 1:01:15
  Um, it's got those boards, old school boards with the fighters
• 1:01:18
  names on it, those old timey like prices, right, like stage
• 1:01:24
  set lights and the the mat is looks very aggressive.
• 1:01:28
  There's stains of blood on it and stuff like that.
• 1:01:31
  I think it's just really cool. You know you got this like pit
• 1:01:34
  behind made of sand with sand and they just the fighters all.
• 1:01:38
  I think the the arena is really cool.
• 1:01:39
  Just talking about the. Stains is disgusting when that
• 1:01:42
  guy who's cleaning the stains off the mats pops up and he sees
• 1:01:44
  the gold tooth. I mean, yeah.
• 1:01:46
  He picks it up and. He tests, He bites on it.
• 1:01:48
  Yeah. Which first of all, you.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah, I know. And then he steals it and he
• 1:01:52
  wipes the blood off the bat, You nasty.
• 1:01:53
  Well. It's probably worth a lot.
• 1:01:56
  I don't know. I mean, yeah, that much gold in
• 1:01:59
  solid gold, right? It has to be.
• 1:02:00
  But that was in somebody. 'S mouth.
• 1:02:01
  No, I didn't say bite. It I'm just saying he's probably
• 1:02:04
  excited. How many germs are?
• 1:02:05
  On that shit, who knows what the guy is.
• 1:02:07
  Into So who gets to spin off Mom?
• 1:02:10
  It's obviously. Jackson, a movie about him
• 1:02:13
  getting in really good shape and preparing for the committee.
• 1:02:15
  You look like a Jackson. I got Frank Dukes in his 50s.
• 1:02:20
  His hips are shot, but he teaches yoga in California.
• 1:02:24
  He can't do the splits. Anymore, but it's in the curb.
• 1:02:27
  Your enthusiasm, style of recording, that split decision.
• 1:02:32
  Ohhhhh. My God.
• 1:02:33
  Basically, he's in his. Like twilight years and he just
• 1:02:37
  won't let go of his past. And I think it'd be pretty
• 1:02:39
  funny. So Chong Lee, you are next the
• 1:02:44
  TV show. It would be his revenge ark, but
• 1:02:47
  this time there's two of them because Frank Dukes.
• 1:02:51
  Like I'm thinking like A tag team tournament where Frank is
• 1:02:55
  partners with Ray. They have to tag in and then
• 1:02:57
  Chong Lee has a new partner and it's just like, I don't know,
• 1:03:00
  little guy who's really dangerous and fast.
• 1:03:02
  I think it'd be pretty cool. Part 2 was not Van Damme.
• 1:03:05
  It was not Bolo Young. It was all new people.
• 1:03:08
  No, Jackson was in it. Oh, he was in the.
• 1:03:10
  Second one, Yeah, he's in the second.
• 1:03:12
  One what? Yeah, he reprised his role, you
• 1:03:15
  guy. I can't believe I didn't know
• 1:03:17
  that. I kind of wanna watch it now.
• 1:03:19
  You just wanna. See more somewhere?
• 1:03:20
  Yeah, he's fucking. One of the best.
• 1:03:22
  Care. He's your favorite supporting
• 1:03:23
  character? Yeah, I thought he was.
• 1:03:24
  Great. OK, double.
• 1:03:25
  Feature. What are you watching with this?
• 1:03:27
  I mean, I brought. It up several times.
• 1:03:29
  I would watch. I wanna watch a good fight movie
• 1:03:31
  after this kind of shitty one. I wanna watch Kill Bill.
• 1:03:34
  Kill Bill. Kill Bill.
• 1:03:35
  Kill. Bill, one or two, both of them
• 1:03:37
  work fair. Enough.
• 1:03:39
  I want to see that. Samurai sword action after this
• 1:03:42
  fair. Enough.
• 1:03:42
  That's a different type of fighting though.
• 1:03:44
  Sword fighting. It's such a better.
• 1:03:46
  Movie it's. Not a better fighting movie.
• 1:03:49
  I would watch Double Impact after this.
• 1:03:51
  I'll keep it John Claude or Kickboxer.
• 1:03:54
  They were both very notable fighting movies in the very same
• 1:03:58
  style where there's a tournament and just one more.
• 1:04:01
  Of the same kickboxer, yeah. But I think Bolo Young, he's in
• 1:04:04
  Kickboxer again. He's the villain again.
• 1:04:06
  They're actually really best buds in real life.
• 1:04:09
  Van Damme, and that's cute. Chong Lee, they're bud.
• 1:04:11
  They're like old men, best buds. They're both just talking about
• 1:04:15
  coming off roids. They should.
• 1:04:17
  Have done like the rocky thing with Drago where their son fight
• 1:04:21
  each other. Yeah they still can.
• 1:04:22
  That would be cool. But yeah.
• 1:04:23
  I'd watch Double Impacts, the one where he has a twin brother
• 1:04:26
  that he doesn't know about. They got split at birth.
• 1:04:28
  Van Damme. Also Van Damme's done a bunch of
• 1:04:30
  twin movies. He's done like 5 of them.
• 1:04:33
  I'm not kidding. There's double impact, there's
• 1:04:37
  kick, there's the replicant. He got typecast.
• 1:04:40
  As a twin of himself, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:04:42
  Why? It just was a thing.
• 1:04:44
  It was probably. A trend in the 80s.
• 1:04:46
  It was. There was.
• 1:04:47
  Always a twin. Like twins literally came out
• 1:04:49
  but it was different. It wasn't 2 Arnolds but.
• 1:04:53
  Van Damme. Was known for the twin movies I
• 1:04:55
  don't know why and Universal Soldier he made like I don't
• 1:04:59
  know, eight of them with Dry with Drago the first one and
• 1:05:03
  like the 4th one were really good.
• 1:05:06
  Ridiculous. Yeah, it's gotta.
• 1:05:07
  Cool, cool. You know what the concept is,
• 1:05:09
  Universal soldier, they take ex military vets that have trauma
• 1:05:14
  and PTSD and they erase their memory and they they make them
• 1:05:17
  into killing machines and then their memories that sounds.
• 1:05:20
  Like an Arnold movie and then their memories.
• 1:05:22
  Like they they, they have, they're repressed, they come
• 1:05:25
  back. That sounds similar.
• 1:05:26
  To that Arnold. To that Arnold movie where he's
• 1:05:29
  married to the girl from Casino. Married to the girl.
• 1:05:31
  From and he wakes. Up and he's total recall.
• 1:05:34
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:05:36
  But it's not the future. Oh no, it isn't the future.
• 1:05:39
  But it's not like Mars. It's not like they're OK, but it
• 1:05:42
  sounds kind. Of similar to that total recall
• 1:05:43
  gives. Alien vibes because it's another
• 1:05:45
  planet. There's actual aliens.
• 1:05:46
  This is just like human Cyborg. Well, either way.
• 1:05:49
  Kiss Mary Killer, would you rather?
• 1:05:51
  So would you rather have Jackson punch you in the face as hard as
• 1:05:55
  he can or get squeezed by the sumo guy?
• 1:06:01
  I would want to get punched in the face you could die from.
• 1:06:03
  Either one, Yeah, I don't. Feel like I don't.
• 1:06:06
  I don't wanna know what it feels like to have your spine broken,
• 1:06:09
  but you'd rather be punched. In the face to the point where
• 1:06:11
  it could kill you. Yeah, because if.
• 1:06:13
  You if if Jackson punched me in the face, I would just get
• 1:06:16
  knocked out, right? I would.
• 1:06:17
  I would. You could die.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah. I give you some congestion.
• 1:06:20
  You could. Die.
• 1:06:20
  I'd rather. That than just, you know, Yeah,
• 1:06:22
  fair enough. It might.
• 1:06:23
  Be it might be less painful to be punched in the face by
• 1:06:25
  Jackson, actually, in the long run anyways.
• 1:06:29
  That's all you got. OK.
• 1:06:32
  OK, I got one. Let me shoot 1 back at you.
• 1:06:34
  OK, OK. Would you rather take a
• 1:06:38
  Roundhouse kick from Van Damme in his tight ass underwear OK or
• 1:06:46
  would you rather be the bottom brick?
• 1:06:51
  What a fucking. Stupid question.
• 1:06:53
  Well, which one? They're both should be the
• 1:06:56
  bottom break. The bottom brick explodes.
• 1:06:58
  OK, Do I want to explode or get kicked?
• 1:07:00
  Do you wanna get kicked? OK, Obviously.
• 1:07:04
  OK, Do you want to be? The second last break.
• 1:07:07
  Grand chill. What's your problem, little
• 1:07:10
  fight? No, you asked me if.
• 1:07:12
  Ridiculous question like 2 episodes ago.
• 1:07:15
  I'm like, of course I wouldn't do that.
• 1:07:18
  No, I'm allowed to. It's my segment I can ask.
• 1:07:22
  You a question, Dick. Is this a lazy?
• 1:07:25
  Sunday movie, of course it. Is the fight scenes, the music
• 1:07:28
  and the background while you're like just chilling the training
• 1:07:31
  montages. Fuck yeah 80s It's the the
• 1:07:35
  soundtrack on its own is fucking Sunday vibes.
• 1:07:38
  What do you? Prefer to watch good movies on a
• 1:07:41
  lazy Sunday? Fucking movie.
• 1:07:44
  This is a great great fighting movie.
• 1:07:47
  People attached to it cause your.
• 1:07:49
  Childhood, they're also movies that I was obsessed with this
• 1:07:51
  child and I look back on now, I'm like, wow, those POS listen.
• 1:07:55
  This is aged much better than Dirty Dancing.
• 1:07:57
  Wow. You're gonna come for the iconic
• 1:08:00
  dirty dance if you're gonna come.
• 1:08:02
  After Bloodsport 80s schlock, I'm gonna come after your 80s
• 1:08:06
  schlock, OK? I'm telling you, it has aged way
• 1:08:10
  better. You don't have a 25 year old
• 1:08:12
  trying to bang a you know, if it's the IT was the reporter
• 1:08:16
  underage and this No, she wasn't.
• 1:08:19
  She was a grown ass woman. That's true.
• 1:08:21
  There was. No pedophilia in this?
• 1:08:23
  For once, yeah. There's a certain circle of
• 1:08:26
  pedophiles in the martial arts group.
• 1:08:28
  They're like, no, no, no. They're like, no, we like.
• 1:08:30
  Our women fully grown. What do you have for movie
• 1:08:33
  Alias? I got.
• 1:08:34
  Honestly blood support is perfect it's just sums it up.
• 1:08:38
  But I I had a couple here just for fun.
• 1:08:41
  Kumite, I had that. Too committee would be.
• 1:08:44
  Cool. Fight to survive.
• 1:08:46
  OK, It's in the song. And then, just for fun, the
• 1:08:49
  muscles from Brussels. Even though he plays an American
• 1:08:52
  military guy. Yeah.
• 1:08:54
  Him and Arnold play Americans, then they.
• 1:08:57
  Have these. Accents.
• 1:09:01
  I'm American. It's from all the.
• 1:09:03
  Concussions. It's not.
• 1:09:04
  It's an accent at all. Bend them his his from all the
• 1:09:10
  cocaine. The guy fucking add.
• 1:09:12
  Oh yeah, he played Guile, who was an American Air Force pilot
• 1:09:15
  from Street Fighter with a with his accent.
• 1:09:18
  It's so bad. That was Pete cocaine and peak
• 1:09:21
  like terrible, terrible movie decisions.
• 1:09:24
  So best performance. Wait, wait.
• 1:09:27
  Aliases. Sorry.
• 1:09:29
  So I had kumite. Yeah, I had Dukes and I had
• 1:09:33
  death blow. Yeah, you fucking called this
• 1:09:37
  movie Death Blow like 3 * I. Guess forgetting the name of it.
• 1:09:42
  I said death blows the movie The fake movie that Kramer and Jerry
• 1:09:46
  go in bootleg in Seinfeld I. Literally thought the story was
• 1:09:51
  called Deathblow. That's such a better name.
• 1:09:53
  Death blow. It works though it works.
• 1:09:56
  It would be. So good.
• 1:09:58
  Sequel, death blow, a bloodsport story or something.
• 1:10:02
  It could be like the next. One, yeah.
• 1:10:07
  Oh my God, you're such a Jackass.
• 1:10:11
  Best performance, I just said. John Claude Van Damme Because
• 1:10:14
  none of the performances in this movie are good.
• 1:10:18
  It's pretty, but he's a good fighter.
• 1:10:20
  He's in really good shape, so I'll give it to him for
• 1:10:22
  embracing the role and preparing well for it.
• 1:10:24
  Yeah, he obviously didn't just walk in with his Dick out and
• 1:10:26
  try to, like, do this movie. He did it properly.
• 1:10:29
  I I. Give this to Lynn as much as
• 1:10:33
  good as Van Dame is in the room. I mean his his movie, but Lynn
• 1:10:37
  Victor Lynn is amazing. He's hilarious, has lines are
• 1:10:39
  good. He delivers each one perfectly.
• 1:10:42
  You know, what's the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his
• 1:10:45
  Shidoshi, Like, that's such a funny line.
• 1:10:47
  Like, who wrote that? And if he didn't write, like, if
• 1:10:51
  it was the writer who wrote it, the guy's delivery is amazing.
• 1:10:54
  Somebody. Pumping out a bunch of trash
• 1:10:57
  movies over and over again wrote this.
• 1:10:59
  So yeah. It's just some of the things I'm
• 1:11:01
  just like, yeah, who wrote this? Do you have any shower thoughts,
• 1:11:03
  Mom? Yeah.
• 1:11:05
  There's a scene where John Claude Van Damme is is fighting.
• 1:11:09
  It's one of the first fight scenes he does where he elbows a
• 1:11:13
  guy in the face, and that's real.
• 1:11:15
  He accidentally elbowed somebody in the face really hard and
• 1:11:18
  knocked them out, and it made it into the movie.
• 1:11:20
  Yeah. Yo, I looked it up.
• 1:11:23
  They didn't have any stunt guys for this.
• 1:11:25
  It was all martial artists. And some of the hits are real,
• 1:11:28
  like when he hits the I'm not surprised.
• 1:11:30
  Because it's it's really good fight scenes when he hits the.
• 1:11:34
  The sumo wrestler guy in the stomach, remember in slomo?
• 1:11:37
  Yeah, the guy's stomach. Like, you know what he did to
• 1:11:40
  that brick That guy's stomach is in.
• 1:11:42
  His intestines are all just coming out of his asshole now.
• 1:11:45
  He hits him so hard. I'm no sumo wrestlers.
• 1:11:48
  Trained to take blows to the stomach.
• 1:11:49
  That's true. He.
• 1:11:50
  Doesn't fall like he recovers and then Van Damme gets him in
• 1:11:53
  the balls after he does splits. But I'm just saying like there
• 1:11:57
  was some real hits that must have happened.
• 1:11:59
  Yeah, I'm not. Surprised.
• 1:12:00
  Frank Dukes was a fight coordinator for the film, and
• 1:12:04
  when John Claude Van Damme was cast, Dukes announced that Van
• 1:12:07
  Damme was not in nearly good enough shape to play him and put
• 1:12:12
  him through a three month training program.
• 1:12:14
  And Van Dam, a world championship martial artist in
• 1:12:18
  his own right, called it the hardest training he's ever
• 1:12:20
  endured. The guy looks.
• 1:12:22
  Phenomenal in this movie. So maybe he did it to maybe he
• 1:12:25
  just trolled him cause I saw Dukes was like he's.
• 1:12:28
  Not ripped enough. He needs to be afraid.
• 1:12:29
  Dukes wasn't. Even that ripped, he was just
• 1:12:31
  probably just trying to get the guy motivated because he's like,
• 1:12:34
  well, Frank Dukes doesn't. Have to be that RIP.
• 1:12:35
  But like they wanted the movie to look a certain way so it
• 1:12:38
  worked. The guy.
• 1:12:39
  Looks like a fucking warrior. Yeah, he does.
• 1:12:42
  He looks. Like a gladiator, they wanted
• 1:12:44
  to. Make a video game about him
• 1:12:46
  after and they stole the characters model and the colic
• 1:12:49
  mortal kinda I kinda love. That they stole it.
• 1:12:51
  It's crazy, yeah. Yeah, the guy who plays Hussain
• 1:12:55
  when the coin scene, he's clearly played by a South Asian
• 1:12:58
  guy. Like he's obviously portraying
• 1:13:00
  somebody from the Middle East. I just think it's funny that you
• 1:13:03
  couldn't find, like, an Arab guy to play it.
• 1:13:05
  Yeah, it's like, it's really bizarre.
• 1:13:08
  And I watched that when I was younger.
• 1:13:10
  I'm like, why is he Asian? Why is he dressed like a Saudi
• 1:13:13
  guy? Yeah, there's a lot of.
• 1:13:14
  Like, racial stereotypes and like, yeah, very thinly veiled
• 1:13:19
  caricatures of certain races. It's like we couldn't.
• 1:13:22
  Find a guy. We didn't have time, so here put
• 1:13:25
  this wig on or this thing on from like a Saudi would wear and
• 1:13:29
  try to do a Arab accent. OK, no problem.
• 1:13:32
  Yeah. So Jean-Claude Van Full contact
• 1:13:44
  kickboxing, 18 wins, all by knockout, One loss.
• 1:13:48
  Like this guy could fight. He's basically This movie should
• 1:13:52
  be about him, not Frank Dude. Yeah, like this guy was.
• 1:13:55
  He's more impressive. He's 44, wins his classes.
• 1:13:58
  Yeah, there's. Actually, records of his.
• 1:13:59
  It's not all freaking lies. Yeah, and.
• 1:14:02
  Question though, how dirty was the water that the 2 military
• 1:14:06
  guys that are chasing Dukes and they fell in?
• 1:14:09
  Because that is some black water.
• 1:14:10
  Yeah, looks pretty. Polluted.
• 1:14:12
  Yeah, Like Forest Whitaker. Like.
• 1:14:14
  Are you OK man? It was also like a.
• 1:14:16
  Dog though, do you have mesothelioma?
• 1:14:18
  Water A docs. Always looks kind of ground
• 1:14:20
  because it's polluted by all the boats sitting in it.
• 1:14:22
  Yeah, maybe. It's pretty absurd that Chung Li
• 1:14:26
  manages to temporarily blind Frank, but one scene later his
• 1:14:29
  sight is back and he's totally fine.
• 1:14:31
  Like what did he throw it in that caused?
• 1:14:32
  I think it was. Maybe chalk, like a chalk pill.
• 1:14:36
  Yeah, he was like. He was a blind, yeah.
• 1:14:40
  Talk alone wouldn't. Do that I think they.
• 1:14:43
  The thing that was weird was because his the room was
• 1:14:45
  spinning. Maybe because he took so many
• 1:14:47
  blows to the head. So on top of that now his
• 1:14:49
  visions compromised. Maybe it was cocaine.
• 1:14:51
  What? What a fucking.
• 1:14:52
  Line of bad luck. What is cocaine?
• 1:14:55
  He just gets all he does scream. He just makes him stronger.
• 1:14:59
  Yeah, he does scream, but what are the what are the odds?
• 1:15:03
  Right? What are what a string of bad
• 1:15:04
  luck? You, you, you blind, The guy
• 1:15:06
  who's been training to fight blind since with the Shidoshi,
• 1:15:11
  right, He's been training to fight blind and he just fucking
• 1:15:14
  he adjusts and he almost punches the ref, but also he realized.
• 1:15:19
  What is the? Point of the ref.
• 1:15:21
  Yeah, the ref almost. Gets owned like several times.
• 1:15:24
  What's the? Point of it it's full contact
• 1:15:26
  you through powder in the guys that nobody saw that yeah that
• 1:15:29
  was. Nobody saw that shit so.
• 1:15:32
  That was some cheap shit, but I like Van Damme's acting because
• 1:15:35
  he's like the scream is so genuine, like it looks so good.
• 1:15:50
  You know, he's somebody who's training his whole life for
• 1:15:52
  this, and you can't beat me, so you're going to fucking cheat
• 1:15:55
  like that scream I felt. That's great.
• 1:15:57
  Yeah, that was pretty. Weak so apparently.
• 1:15:59
  Jean-Claude Van Damme was doing splits on set and working out
• 1:16:02
  between shoots. He's constantly impressing
• 1:16:04
  people with the splits. It was like, I'm like, I'm kind
• 1:16:08
  of happy that that's the thing that happened.
• 1:16:11
  Maybe it makes me feel happy inside.
• 1:16:14
  It's like, yeah, I wanna see something.
• 1:16:15
  Crazy just goes your full ballerina split, yeah?
• 1:16:19
  The Dimmock is something that's shown on video done by Frank
• 1:16:23
  Dukes, but it's not like in the movie.
• 1:16:26
  Obviously in the movie they've really embellished it.
• 1:16:28
  There's like 6 bricks in in the video.
• 1:16:32
  Basically what he did was he put a board like a wooden board, and
• 1:16:37
  then he put a tile on top and then another wooden board and
• 1:16:41
  then another tile on top. And it creates like this, it's
• 1:16:45
  physics. It creates a bridge.
• 1:16:47
  So he hits it, the top one, but the bottom board breaks only
• 1:16:52
  because the way the pressure is all on the bottom board.
• 1:16:56
  So it's just like a weird, it's not a magic trick.
• 1:16:58
  It's yeah, it's not really a magic trick.
• 1:17:00
  It's just if you look at it, it's like, oh, that's
• 1:17:03
  impressive. I mean, you'll impress like
• 1:17:05
  maybe some 15 year olds, but anybody that ever took physics
• 1:17:10
  or built a popsicle stick bridge knows that all the pressure
• 1:17:13
  would be on the bottom board and you just break.
• 1:17:18
  So I don't know man, like maybe this guy was just a cold blooded
• 1:17:21
  liar. Like, it's crazy.
• 1:17:24
  It's kind of crazy that you could lie about that.
• 1:17:26
  Before the age of Internet, you could just say anything and
• 1:17:28
  people just like, oh, OK, that's probably true.
• 1:17:30
  Did you have to make a? Bridge in physics class, yeah.
• 1:17:34
  And I in school, in elementary and in high school, we had to
• 1:17:37
  make. A roller coaster for a marble in
• 1:17:40
  grade 12 physics. Oh really?
• 1:17:42
  That. Sounds it was hard.
• 1:17:43
  Yeah, it sounds. Fun.
• 1:17:44
  Then it was a group project. It was hard.
• 1:17:46
  It was hard as shit. OHP, but we passed.
• 1:17:49
  Yeah, I can't. We managed.
• 1:17:51
  I can't remember what. I honestly we had a project in
• 1:17:53
  physics. I don't remember what it was
• 1:17:55
  anyway, I don't know. I was talking about physics.
• 1:17:57
  Does this movie hit different? As a parent you obviously don't
• 1:18:00
  recall ever watching it before. We had kids so also.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, not necessarily hitting different as parent.
• 1:18:07
  Obviously, none of the fight scenes really resonated.
• 1:18:09
  But this scene where Tanaka talks about losing his first
• 1:18:12
  family to Hiroshima? Yeah, Yeah.
• 1:18:15
  So he's just gone through so much loss, and then Van Damme
• 1:18:17
  just wants to honor him by learning his his fighting.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah. And just being that person that
• 1:18:23
  his son could have, like, should have been for him.
• 1:18:26
  So I thought that scene was like, really sad and emotional.
• 1:18:29
  But other than that, I didn't really find anything in the
• 1:18:31
  movie that would really affect a parent.
• 1:18:33
  Yeah. I think the I think you're
• 1:18:35
  right, there's the scenes with that, that scene, that honestly,
• 1:18:38
  that scene is probably one of the best acted.
• 1:18:41
  I agree. Yeah.
• 1:18:43
  The guy who plays Tanaka is actually pretty good.
• 1:18:45
  When his voice cracks, I was like, yo, this guy's like, he's,
• 1:18:50
  he's coming in, he's going in. And then even for Van Damme,
• 1:18:54
  it's pretty decent acting considering the, you know, the
• 1:18:58
  music and everything takes a big part of it.
• 1:19:00
  But the scenes where the kids getting bullied at school and
• 1:19:03
  stuff like that, that part you could, you could see your kids.
• 1:19:07
  It's like, OK, because I do want to put our, our, our kids in
• 1:19:10
  martial arts at some point. It's going to be good for them.
• 1:19:13
  It's good for self-confidence, even just self defence.
• 1:19:16
  Like if something ever happened, it's a skill you carry with
• 1:19:19
  yourself the rest of your life. And especially for our daughter,
• 1:19:22
  I'd. Like her to know how to defend
• 1:19:23
  herself so. I mean, it would be pretty cool,
• 1:19:26
  but you know, we'll we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
• 1:19:29
  Honestly, it I watched it when I was a kid.
• 1:19:32
  I watched it as an adult and I watch it as a parent.
• 1:19:35
  Does it hit differently as a parent?
• 1:19:37
  No, it does not. But I want to show this to our
• 1:19:41
  son when he gets older because it's a kick ass fighting movie.
• 1:19:45
  Obviously I don't want to show him now because he'll just start
• 1:19:47
  doing kicks and hitting people at daycare and we don't want
• 1:19:50
  that. But yeah, one of the best.
• 1:19:53
  Parts about having kids is sharing things that you loved
• 1:19:55
  growing up, and we've been able to do it a little bit, but our
• 1:19:58
  kids are seven months and three years old, so we're not.
• 1:20:01
  We haven't gotten to that really fun part of parenting where you
• 1:20:04
  get to watch your movies with them and shows and read them.
• 1:20:07
  Like I have a couple of book series that I have to read with
• 1:20:10
  the kids, and I'm just really looking forward to that.
• 1:20:13
  So that's always exciting as a parent.
• 1:20:15
  But yeah, like this isn't really a very emotional movie.
• 1:20:18
  Hey, what? Do you think happened to the
• 1:20:20
  Sun? Like how do you think he died?
• 1:20:22
  They don't really say in the movie, I thought.
• 1:20:24
  I was waiting for them be like Chong Lee, going up to him,
• 1:20:27
  being like I killed your friend. What are you gonna do about it?
• 1:20:29
  That happened in Mortal. Kombat, right?
• 1:20:31
  Liu Kang's brother gets killed by Shang soon and then he goes
• 1:20:35
  goes and fights in the Mortal Kombat turns.
• 1:20:37
  Well, that's what I thought. Was gonna happen in the movie
• 1:20:38
  and then it just never happened. So they they should, they could
• 1:20:40
  have made that an element of it. Yeah, they.
• 1:20:44
  Chose not. To alright.
• 1:20:46
  Mom, how many OK USA's do you give this movie out of 10?
• 1:20:51
  Sorry babe, I give this four OK, USA So shit, this the storyline
• 1:20:57
  is there. Yeah, not even a.
• 1:20:58
  Five. No.
• 1:20:59
  The storyline. Is thin, the acting is bad, and
• 1:21:02
  the fact that Frank Dukes lied when I read that double points
• 1:21:08
  off. I probably would have given it a
• 1:21:09
  six if it had really been real, but it was your reaction when
• 1:21:11
  you. Read it.
• 1:21:12
  What was it like? What?
• 1:21:13
  Yeah, it was like. Ohhhhh cause at the end of the
• 1:21:15
  movie I I found it, it was really I was like oh that's
• 1:21:18
  crazy. This is a real story.
• 1:21:19
  It's not it's it's, it's a freaking made-up story that a
• 1:21:22
  guy who made-up and lied about the Hollywood.
• 1:21:25
  That's crazy. 4 out of 10 bro what about you?
• 1:21:28
  I give it a 7 out of 10. It's A7.
• 1:21:31
  It is what it is. It's a fighting movie from the
• 1:21:34
  80s that kicks ass and it's 2026.
• 1:21:37
  It still kicks ass because the hits look real, the damage looks
• 1:21:42
  real, the fighting is beautiful, the soundtrack is better than a
• 1:21:47
  lot of the shit you see today. I've seen modern day fighting
• 1:21:51
  movies. They're weak guy.
• 1:21:52
  They're low budget trash. Make a good fighting movie,
• 1:21:56
  Hollywood. They don't make them like this
• 1:21:58
  no more, because there's no. Point of making a movie like
• 1:22:01
  this with shitty acting in a bad storyline.
• 1:22:03
  They're making karate. Kid again with with Jackie Chan.
• 1:22:07
  How are they making Yeah, there. There's a market for it, bro.
• 1:22:10
  The second one was. Bad.
• 1:22:11
  The only good Karate Kid is the original Roddy Kid.
• 1:22:14
  Sweep the leg. The first one was bad, but not
• 1:22:18
  the original from the. Martial arts stuff.
• 1:22:20
  Makes money. All the Jet Li movies that
• 1:22:23
  Jackie Chan movies went until they got to Hollywood and it
• 1:22:27
  wasn't about the fighting. That's when people stop like the
• 1:22:30
  true martial arts. Have you ever seen the rain?
• 1:22:32
  We're not having a. Martial arts renaissance right
• 1:22:35
  now like it'll come. John Wick.
• 1:22:36
  Brought it back but his more like gun fu because he does it
• 1:22:41
  with with a with a gun like it'll it'll come.
• 1:22:43
  Back again. It always does raid.
• 1:22:45
  Oht my God. Unblock brought it back for a
• 1:22:48
  bit. Tony Jaa, But he kind of fell
• 1:22:51
  off. He made a couple of bad ones,
• 1:22:53
  but the raid, it's amazing. It's so good it'll catch it.
• 1:22:57
  It'll come back. It was back in the 90s.
