S1 E6 • Bloodsport (1988)

S1 E6 • Bloodsport (1988) “Very good… but brick not hit back.” In episode six, the lads dive deep into the unforgettable soundtrack of Bloodsport (1988), the cult martial arts classic that catapulted Jean-Claude Van Damme to stardom. Bloodsport’s soundtrack captures both the raw energy and emotional journey of Frank Dux as he fights for honor (and questionable world records) in the notorious ‘Kumite’, deep in the depths of Kowloon’s infamous walled city. Hear the boys grapple with the fruits of Paul Hertzog’s musical labour; the pounding synths, the driving percussion, and evocative Eastern-inspired melodies. Not only that, but you will hear Dave drop some timeless fashion tips, and Tom gets unreasonably excited about a synthesizer. This episode isn’t only a juddering kick to the Dim Maks, it’s also a celebration of the music and machismo that made Bloodsport an enduring action classic.
