In this episode of The Rank, John and Zac go back to the '80s with the action-packed martial arts flick, Bloodsport. The hosts discuss the film's storyline, action sequences, and memorable characters, as well as how the film stacks up against other classics in the genre.
The episode also features the return of Potent Notables, where John and Zac share interesting tidbits about the making of the movie. Did you know that Bloodsport is based on the supposed real-life exploits of Frank Dux, a martial artist who has been accused of fabricating much of his backstory? That's right, Frank Dux might be a martial arts legend, or he might just be a con man with a good story.
Of course, the highlight of the episode is when John and Zac break down the movie and rank it in categories such as Story, Action Sequences, Hero Appeal, and the Final Showdown. Will Bloodsport be able to stand up to the scrutiny of The Rank? Listen and find out!
