Roy Chiao, who appeared in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Bloodsport, Enter the Dragon, and King Hu's films, left Shanghai to become a translator for American forces during the Korean War where he was a battlefield interpreter, as he spoke 5 languages fluently. He left the US Army at the rank of Captain. After the war was over, he moved to Japan, where he was jailed for several years for a crime he committed. On getting out, he returned to Taiwan where he became the island's Heavyweight Boxing Champion. A pilot, he survived a plane crash in 1978 where his plane crashed into the mountains and exploded. A preacher who was one of Hong Kong's best known Christians, he often traveled to the US to give sermons, flying his own plane. He finally passed in 1999, after a heart attack, his fourth.

Bloodsport (1988)

“The kumite was first used by the Kokuryukai, the Black Dragon Society, to measure the fighting skills and spirit of its members. Every five years, the best fighters in its ranks would face each other in full contact with one winner emerging as the superior warrior, the champion.”

U.S. Army Captain Frank Dux (Jean Claude Van Damme) has trained in the ways of ninjutsu under his sensei Senzo Tanaka (Roy Chiao) since young and decided to honor him by competing in a martial arts tournament held by the secret society in Hong Kong where fights to the death can occur.

The film that Johnny Lawrence and Cobra Kai watches!
