    It's such a privilege to see Kurt Mckinney after over 30 years. Back in 1986, all kids were inspired by his Jason Stillwell character as well as Bruce Lee's spirit. But most of all, the soundtrack was very motivational. Even today, "I still hold on the vision in my eyes"

    I hope Kurt knows just how important a film this was for a lot of people growing up. I saw it when I was about 11 or 12 in the late 80s, and for years it was my favourite film. I agree with Scott in that Van Damme played second fiddle to Kurt in this film (for years I always saw him as a villain due to his role as Ivan), and I always wanted to be Jason.
    I grew up with the UK VHS cut of the film ,which is slightly different to the other version, but either way, it was a genuine landmark for me as a young boy. I'll go as far as saying I even prefer it to Rocky as an overall viewing experience. Also, it took me years to find any love for the sequels because they didn't have Kurt in them. I like them now, but back then it was a sore point.
    Anyway, thank you Kurt, and thank you Scott for validating all us old 80s/90s VHS martial arts film junkies. Video rental night was special, and these films made it that way, so it's great to hear from all these guys again.

    • @NDoraku
      @NDoraku 3 года назад +2

      Same with me! I remember i was very confused when Van Damme did later a movie when he played twin brothers, i mean a double role. One of the twins looked exactly like Ivan Kreshinsky, i mean the hairstyle etc.
      And yes, its not negative, but Van Damme like Dolph Lundgren are simply awesome as Ivan Kreshinsky and Ivan Drago!
      It is always funny to me when i see Jean-Claude as Frank Dux in Bloodsport or Dolph as He-Man in Masters of the Universe...since they played such bad ass villains in NRNS and Rocky 4.
