Apparently they are presently filming a sequel to the 1987 action movie "Bloodsport" called KUMITE.. Van Damme will still be the main character, and the same big chineese guy will be there too
looks promessing

Coincidentially, I was watching the first movie last night on SpikeTV. Shoulda just popped the DVD in, but I was too lazy
They had an article on it in the July 2004 issue of Black Belt magazine... last I checked, they were actually still looking to recruit talent for the film - provided you submitted a demo reel, height, weight, etc...
From the article:
"They realize this film has the potential to revitalize the martial arts industry the way The Karate Kid did in the 1980s"
I can't wait!
I'm most elated that they're actually making a new, big martial arts film with hopes of revitalizing the industry - movies like The Matrix really did not impress me as I knew that the poshy actors had been working hard and training for *gasp!* a whole 9 MONTHS! Movies like Kumite reflect people's ability gained from an entire life-time of Martial Arts training - it's a beautiful thing.

Perhaps you're thinking of 'Kickboxer' and 'Kickboxer 2'?

This is my post from the above thread: But seriously now. If you guys google "Frank Dux" and "Kumite" you will find out that the Dux guy is a total fraud. He was claiming he won the Congressional Medal of Honor at one point, till he found out it's a federal offense to claim to have won it. But ya, the Frank Dux guy is a nut job.
