Cast: Jean Claude Van Damme, Bolo Yeung
Sure it's silly, but it's one of Van Damme's finest movies. The entire film revolves around an illegal underground Japanese fighting tournament called the "Kumite," where the world's greatest fighters come to compete. Naturally, Van Damme is one of these, and we get to see him and a bunch of other guys beat each other up spectacularly. There are also the requisite training sequences, and the requisite dumb white guys who are fighting guys way out of their league. And to liven things up, the cops are after him as well for some reason. Apparently this was based on a true story by Frank Dux (also the name of Van Damme's character).
