Yakmala! Yakmala! It’s time for the clash of champions known as the Bloodsport!… er, I mean the Kumite. Which is totally a real thing. Honest.
Welcome back for more Kung Fu Electric Boogaloo. Your five hosts continue their search for the ultimate B-Movie with the next entry in the “White Dragons: All American Ninjas” season.
U.S. soldier Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) has come to Hong Kong to be accepted into the Kumite, a highly secret and extremely violent martial-arts competition. While trying to gain access into the underground world of clandestine fighters, he also has to avoid military officers who consider him to be AWOL. After enduring a difficult training and beginning a romance with journalist Janice Kent (Leah Ayres), Frank is given the opportunity to fight. But can he survive?
As always, the KFEB hosts will provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores will be tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB decides how ‘based on a true story’ this film based on a true story really is!
After listening check in with The Octagon, our on-going ranking of the movies covered in KFEB.
Join us all season as we explore the action movie genre we can only call “White Dragons: All American Ninjas!”
