Bloodsport (1988)
1 question
Directed by: Newt Arnold
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Norman Burton, Leah Ayres, Donald Gibb
Factual error: The film was made in 1988. At that time the airport was on the mainland Kowloon side and called Kai Tak. In the early part of the film where van Damme is heading for the "East Lake Hotel" in Kowloon he is seen riding on an electric tram. These trams are only found on Hong Kong Island, which means he would have had to have crossed the harbour to reach the trams and then gone back across the harbour to reach his hotel. Fairly pointless exercise.
Victor: I'm Lin. You Jackson? You look like a Jackson. That must make you Frank Ducks.
Frank Dux: No, it's DUX.
Victor: Oh, right, like put up your dukes.
Trivia: Bolo Yeung's (Chong Li) line "brick not hit back" is similar to Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" line of "boards don't hit back." Bolo Yeung was also in "Enter the Dragon" (as Yang Sze).
