Oh yeah that's a good one; with the late, great J.T. Walsh (best villain there ever was)... he was also in Red Rock West which is another gem.

JT Walsh is great. RRW is indeed a great film.

- The cringe factor of macho 80's ultraviolent martial arts silliness
+ The simple beauty of macho 80's ultraviolent martial arts silliness
- Same old plot structure: exposition; training montage (during which essential technique is taught to protagonist); introduction of sidekick, introduction of merciless villain; lengthy fighting montages; demise of sidekick/moment of doubt; a gory climax, villain is defeated at the last minute by aforementioned technique, villain spared.
+ Good old familiar plot structure, pulled of with aplomb. What else did you expect?
- Appalling acting. Appalling script.
+ Hilarious broken English of Chinese actors. Hilarious script: 'Very good... But brick not hit back!'
+ Surprisingly solid and free of plot holes for this era. See: Commando
+ The funny capoeira-monkey man who inevitably gets his spine snapped
+ Always found Van Damme to be the most sympathetic of the beefcakes. And hawt.
+ Forest Whittaker's tabletop haircut

And at the final count Bloodsport gets a +, woohoo

Best review ever. Next is A.W.O.L aka Lionheart.

Trick - Terrible but cute.
Avant que j'oublie - just plain awful.

Just saw Sleepy Hollow (1999) on halloween.
Great movie.

Agreed... one of my favourites. I've said this before but Tim Burton rocks.

Starting from today and on each subsequent Sunday I am revisiting each part of the LOTR trilogy in their extended forms. So rewatched this today and it is still immensely entertaining.

That's a good movie. I plan on reading the series "eventually".

Being English and over 30 it is kind of hard to have NOT read the books. Those and 'the Chronicles Of Narnia' too. No wonder the Harry Potter series seem's so mundane to me.
