Lionheart’s opponent is James Brewster Thompson is actually a Judo practitioner and is also a strongman rope master that does exhibitions, I watched him perform at Radford University in Radford Virginia back in 1992. He was also a fighting character opponent in the Arcade Video Game PITFIGHTER.
He worked as a security guard in Las Vegas at the Park MGM hotel in 2019. My husband worked at the shop he was securing and in addition to being an accomplished Judo practitioner (which he demonstrated for my husband), he also holds multiple jump rope records and is a professional ventriloquist. Once I was browsing the shop he worked at, and while waiting for my husband to clock out, James came up to me and asked me about the buttons on my bag and we talked for a while. Very charming man and friendly man. You'd never know in his 70s he could mop the floor with any of us. As an aside, he spoke to my husband the next day after we met and he said "I used to think the reason you're always smiling is because your boss was cool. Then I met your wife." Such a sweet thing to say :) Also he would like the world to know he fights a LOT better in real life.
I was obsessed with this when I was like 10 now there are fights like this online all the time can’t believe it ha as if those hood guys let them walk away with the cash after the win so funny.
@@TinoT84 because fights are about winning doesn’t matter how I know but we all like spectacular moves not just choke your opponent in the ground that’s why.
As a kid i always thought this fighting styles where superior to this of the karate kid movies, in that same era the first episodes of Walker Texas Ranger came out with the same fighting style. Back in the day it looks so realistic but now it looks a bit of a show.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💖💯💥 *_Best Ever Fight Scene of Van Damme_* - _How he defeated the tall Powerfull Guy with his Quick-wittedness using Presence Of Mind._ I like it very much and I saw this -fight- scene many times. 💯💥💖🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤ 👌✌👍
I'm sure the jacked up musclehead bum Lionheart fought and brutally beat effortlessly and flawlessly was a very strong, capable, reasonably good/experienced street brawler that could drop your average guy on the street like those other winos and bums scrapping for change but easy work to an ex-French Legionaire and martial arts expert well trained in hand to hand combat by the French Foreign Legion. True flawless victory. Skill wise the weakest,least skilled and formidable opponent Lionheart faced in the movie. And Lyon's easiest victory as well.
The guy at 0:27 on the right side of Van Damne in the front with the gloves on. He is hilarious in this whole scene. Watch him when the other fighter challenges Lionheart.
Still sure the big musclehead derelict or wino whichever was a strong, capable, fairly decent street fighter vs your average joe but easy work to Van Damme aka Lionheart with his martial arts skills.
Definitely one of the better JVD movies. I watched it when i was sick with covid last year, and really enjoyed it.
"Josh" should have won an Academy Award!!! He was HILARIOUS😂😂😂
Absolutely. The movie would not have been so great without him. Wonderful jean casting friends as usual. But goddamn it works
Joshua is the funniest hes like Don King son
Shoot you a bad MF with that foreign shit!
fuck yeah 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joshua is the greatest. Period. No movie without him.
Dude made this movie! One of the most underrated funny characters of all time.
Van Damme,, my best Martial Artist Idol,,,👍👍

absolutely right bro and the first fighter that wins is Marc Williams who played Ty in the video game too
James was also Toots in 1992's Guardians of the 'Hood

@@oscarvzz south side jim
Such a cool scene.
VD just owned it as he did the whole movie.
Wrong Bet a fantastic movie imo.
1:58 haha, love that camera angle, making him seem massive and imposing and then the camera angle changes and hes a shortass
I was obsessed with this when I was like 10 now there are fights like this online all the time can’t believe it ha as if those hood guys let them walk away with the cash after the win so funny.
2.59' best moment .. respect between the fighters
This might've been his best movie! What's your favorite Van Damme movie?!! List them below.
Bloodsport! Kumite kumite!
Lionheart Hands Down
Bloodsport, Kick boxer, Wrong bet
@@jimmyjimmy1601 street fighter
1.) Bloodsport
2.) Kickboxer
3.) Double Impact
4.) Hard Target
5.) Lionheart
*honorable mention: Maximum Risk, Timecop
*Guilty pleasure: Street Fighter
Love that elbow in the back. We should see that in real MMA fights.
Why
@@TinoT84 because fights are about winning doesn’t matter how I know but we all like spectacular moves not just choke your opponent in the ground that’s why.
Elbow? That's mean VAN DAMME is a practitioner of MUAY THAI
One of the greatest moments in cinematography history
Great Fight
@ 0:30; the man in the green flannel shirt is Ty from Pit-Fighter (Marc Williams)...
love the 90s vibe
I wish NYC was like this today underground fights ppl taking bets would be great
It's based in nyc but u can tell before when van damme was on the phone was filmed in la lol.. see palm trees and the lighting.

LEGENDARY
Classic scene
Kick his lion ass...LMAO
😂
Oh look, it's Ty and Southside Jim ...
you old old 😭😭😭
Lionheart kicked the shit out of him
Big black guy was tough
I'm sure the jacked up musclehead bum Lionheart fought and brutally beat effortlessly and flawlessly was a very strong, capable, reasonably good/experienced street brawler that could drop your average guy on the street like those other winos and bums scrapping for change but easy work to an ex-French Legionaire and martial arts expert well trained in hand to hand combat by the French Foreign Legion.

Agreed
He did take Sonny out in seconds with one hit though
Love this movie😂
Van damme the hero of all-time!
The guy at 0:27 on the right side of Van Damne in the front with the gloves on. He is hilarious in this whole scene. Watch him when the other fighter challenges Lionheart.
Haha I noticed him too with his wild hair and white pants. He's really acting and into it even as an extra.
@@jeffjohnsonharrison47192:26 when he puts his hands over his mouth 😂
What’s so funny about him ?
@@LuciferTheDogKiller Nevermind Carry on
The guy beaten in the first fight, is that Marc D. Williams, Ty from Pit Fighter (1990)?
No the guy who won the first fight is Marc D. Williams and yes he's Ty from Pit Fighter.
Black dude never connected on any punches ,dude all bloody took a beaten
Was a big dude but no match for Can Damme/Lionheart's martial arts skills. Lol
Still sure the big musclehead derelict or wino whichever was a strong, capable, fairly decent street fighter vs your average joe but easy work to Van Damme aka Lionheart with his martial arts skills.
I've met that guy before. He assures us that he can fight better than that IRL lol
Lionheart, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, and Hard Target were my favorites. Cyborg was the worst.
Hard Target was not really a "martial arts" movie but in my opinion the best with Van Damme followed by The Quest.
Every UFC fighter watched this 😊
Van damme is much better than Leonardo dicaprio
*DiCRAPio
This first fight with Van Damme make me laugh
First fighter who wins is Marc Williams, guy is Ty from the game Pit Fighter.
Legalize streetfighting will help stop the shooting
what is the movie title
i think that ty from pit fighter, winning the fight earlier
3:35 😂
Joshua is the shit!
Jean claude van damme es un mejor peleador 😌💓
WHAT IF ARNOLD, SYLVESTER STALLONE, LORENZO LAMAS, LOREN AVEDON, GARY DANIEL, CHUCK NORRIS and RICHARD NORTON fight against JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME?
Discipline of steel.
1:25 that would so be me when no one else will step in I will that’s just who I am
Guile vs i forgot his name hes the boss before sagat in street fighter game.
3:11
My guy van dame
Azsilo♥️
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 😆 🤣 😂 this film should come with a warning label, contains scenes of Van Damme trying to act 🎬
Hoping Jake the Muss would’ve stepped forward
