We've all been Lied To! - The Truth about how Bloodsport got released and became a global phenomenon

@VikingSamurai
Just wanted to give you the heads up if you dont know already, it looks like Van Damme will be in the next Mortal Kombat....... Take this with a grain of salt as you cant always believe what you read but I thought this might interest you and make for a good video. Its a skin but none the less im super excited about the news as this is long over due.

You should ask Mohammed what took Van Damme so long to be involved with Mortal Kombat after all these years? What made Van Damme turn down Mortal Kombat back then?

Now i want to see a movie about making this movie xD

The shadow boxing at the end of this interview was the cherry on top!

Thank you very much Mohammed for the info how Malaysia played an important initial part in Bloodsport history.Just for a fun fact. Jean had lots of fans over here, in Malaysia. In one of the South East Asia Games, Karate (Kumite) finals, the Malaysian guy did a Jean's famous " jump up, spinning helicopter kick" and knocked his opponent out cold and got his Gold medal. Awesome piece of art and power, broadcast "Live" on TV (So sorry, could not remember the year). Cheers.

QUISSI IS THE MAN

Van Damme was speaking in an interview on the Arsenio Hall show, saying that he personally wrote about 900 letters to Hollywood agents, stars, directors and producers, to passionately advertise his skills and ask for a start in Hollywood. He got only one response, from Kirk Douglas. JCVD and Qissi have that drive, passion and commitment to make it, and this film and interview proves it.

As an Israeli I can say that the way Qissi pronounces Menachem Golan's name and imitates his accent is spot on. 😂
And here's an interesting anecdote: Gil Globus, the son of Yoram Globus, Menachem Golan's cousin, was in high school with me.

The passion and emotion in this interview, from both sides, is so evident. Amazing.

I'M ROOTING FOR QISSI TO KNOCK OUT DON WILSON. WILSON NEEDS A LESSON IN HUMILITY.

killing the bull would have made Bloodsport the most OP masterpiece ever. missed chance

I guess Mohammed Qissi was for JCVD like Franco Columbu for Arnold Schwarzenegger... That story about the bull being killed by a punch sounds like a story taken from the Master Masutatsu Oyama biography. Great channel. Greetings!

historical revelations

I have more respect for Mohamed and JCVD than ever. True warriors.

Oh man....like 36 years after seeing this great movie for the first time (and many times after it) getting all these insights.....absolutely great.

My friend back in the day calling me to come over because he had this great fight movie...'with guys even bigger than you' he said 🤣....I never did any fight training, yet I got a name of a guy you shouldn't mess with.....beat up the right guy once which got me a reputation.....and I hit that fair boxing ball machine harder than anybody, destroyed them quite a few times much to the owners' chagrin....BOOM...lights out, broken 🤣.
Always been a 6ft6 big muscular guy even without training. Heard too many times people would have liked to train me and had made a monster out of me. No regrets I didn't do it.....I kind of scared myself to be careful not to kill somebody in a fight.
Still no messing with me even at 53 now.....just 2 weeks ago I had some burglars trying to get in....they always carry so I confronted them with a hammer in hand. One is still in pain, I'm very sure of that. They were lucky the other had pepperspray so they could manage to escape....I actually have names and where they live....and patience.

Great interview!!

There would be no van damme without Qissi. He gave him his name and career and was his motivational coach. What a good friend to have.

Mohammed seems like such a cool guy. One of the best interviews.

Awesome.

The golden Era of martial arts movies was during the 80s and early 90s 🎥
Jean Claude Van Damme was one of the best stars that inspired millions around the world 👌👌

Hello, Viking Samurai. I didn't know about these details either, because I heard what many of us know. Thanks, for getting the real details for us. Bloodsport is a top tier Martial Arts film, easily one of the best.

TERRANCE OUT

Mohammed is your best guest ever

Hey David, I love these interviews, awesome stuff. Are you able to ask Muhammad about some of those unknown actors in Bloodsport and Double Impact? I feel like we need closure to confirm some of those unknowns from your prevous vids. Keep up the great work 💪

Hi Viking, please tell me Michel Qissi is doing 1-hour+ interview with you about Kickboxer 1 & Kickboxer 2.

My God I want more of this please tell me you got more of this where he describes Van Damme's rise to superstardom and the Fallout between him and John Claude as well.... Please please.

He could have been a good director Mo

Lol kumite.

Action-star Sonny Chiba made a movie "Karate Bullfighter" in 1975, where he killed a bull.
I wonder if that movie made them think of doing that in Bloodsport?!
It was better that Bloodsport used bricks instead!

But what about the story of GODHAND, THE GUY THAT WOULD KILL BULLS WITH A 👊 PUNCH I believe the guys name was Oyama

Really hope this Quissi and Wilson thing can happen. Don all the way imo

Viking S. U should take a trip to Hong Kong n explore the spots where the movie took place if possible take Mohammed Q 🔥🙏 that would be so dope . I wonder if u can find ppl who help make the film n interview of how it was filming the movie bloodsport. And Paul hertzog too

The tong po pillar scene could fit in any best picture of the year. Its perfect.

After you finish watching Bloodsport, you want to watch it all over again

Mortal kombat game based on this movie...

😃👍😲👌

Thank you for the interesting interview! Can Michel tell about creating and releasing "Kickboxer" and "Lionheart"?

Very entertaining interview

I’m going to look into the app and group on FB. You seem like a genuine guy and I’ve really enjoyed following you this last year.

you make great videos

Increible Gran historya,❤ cuando vas a Entrevistar a. Jean claude van damme😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉me gustaria que hablara de como inicio en holliwood su carrera en el cine, 🎉🎉🎉🎉 monaco forever, no retroseder ni rendirse Jamas y Black Eagle. Que fueron sus Inicios.

This interview with Mr Mohammed Quissi is amazing!! All the details he revealed here about the making, the editing and the promotion of Bloodsport are pure gold 👏 This should be included in a documentary of Bloodsport or a documentary about JCVD.
One the most fascinating videos, Viking Samurai 👏💪👍👍✌️

Muhammed and Jean-Claude was selling the Movie like partner of Menachim Golan

That is how the real masterpiece was created! And that is why it is so precious and Van Damme and Mohammed are so smashing and cool guys!

Such a great interview! So cool to hear his memories of the process, and those photos were amazing to see.

Let's face facts without Muhammad pushing him. Jean-Claude would not have had the career he had or has

I really enjoyed listening to this, its pure gold. Please make more interviews with him on the other films they did together and how they split up after Lionheart. Many thanks, great content ❤!!!!

There is no way Mohammed is fighting Don Wilson😂
