Bloodsport: the film that made Jean-Claude Van Damme's back kick finally known in 4K

Bloodsport was released in 1988. It was the film that made Jean-Claude Van Damme, an obscure third-rate actor at the time, a hero who would mark the history of action films. It will finally be released in 4K by ESC, which proudly announces its video acquisition.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's returning kick left its mark on more than one generation of kids. It was in Bloodsport that we saw for the first time “Muscle From Brussels” perform it with such mastery, rarely equaled since.

For the record, you should know that Bloodsport, all things are allowed (its full title, by us) was originally a "direct to VHS", as they said at the time where neither the DVD nor Blu-Ray existed. And it was only under pressure from fans that he made a career in theaters, to the point of becoming No. 1 at the box office in France and launching the career of JCVD!

It's an understatement to say that this remastering at ESC in 4K is an event in itself that absolutely should not be missed. It is planned for the first half of 2024…
