I dont know what it is - but there is something about ass kicking 80s films that I dig. For sheer entertainment you cannot beat films Commando - hilarious for all the wrong reasons (editing, lame special effects, camp villains) and Arnie owns.
Films these days seem a little too hi-tech to pull off the kitsch elements of the great 80s films.
Naturally I greeted the ad on C4 tonight for their Sunday night feature - Bloodsport - with great excitement!
If you are unfamiliar with Bloodsport - it was the film that launched the career of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who played Frank Dux. The 'story' is about Dux taking part in an underground competition involving the World's greatest "warriors" in a battle to the death. Yus! (you will note the poster said it was based on a true story... right)
So yeah basically its a fantastic piece of martial arts tat. Can't wait!
Bloodsport - 8.30pm Sunday on C4.
