Whatever anyone says about his movies no one can say Bloodsport wasn't the shit.
Sure some people said they were going to go see his 2008 flick JCVD, and some even went so far as to pretend that they saw the movie and in theatres at that. And of all those who pretended to see the film the vast majority of them pretended that they enjoyed it. Still despite all that pretend love it will always begin and end with muthafukkin kumite bricks don't hit back Bloodsport.
Anyway that was the movie that introduced most of us to the famous Van Damme splits that blurred the line between male and female. He had done them in prior movies but Bloodsport was the film that made them legendary. Anyway that splits technique was so widely talked about that Van Damme started doing it every chance he got. Every movie, t.v appearances, they should bury him in a coffin shaped like a Tetris piece he did the splits so much. It started becoming corny fast. He did the splits while warming up, he did them amongst bamboo trees, he did them to punch a man in the balls and to kill man as he lay in wait. Like how many times are you going to find that the splits is the perfect way to win a fight before you maybe develop a round house, Muay Thai plum? Some shit.
Still, no matter how corny that shit got this video here brings it right back to cool street.
Fuck. Yeah. As is often the case sometimes a vulva has to be sacrificed for the greater good.
