re: Why wasn’t Chong Li dq’d from Kumite

Everything about it is fiction. God, as a kid we saw the final credits and were in awe...this is the baddest guy on the planet.

Bloodsport presented this movie as a true story and then gave phony facts at the end for something that never happened.

That Dux guy turned out to be a world class phony martial artists, he even duped Hollywood.

His Kumite trophy he ordered from a shop in L.A. and paid for it himself.

But this dude was on the cover of martial arts magazines. Back then nobody knew anything about martial arts really and especially the mysterious and mystical fighting styles of the far east.

You could dupe anyone. Just make shite up.

I mean the end credits of Bloodsport are so laughable now when we have MMA but people ate this shite up...the more mysterious the more real it seemed.

---

From 1975 to 1980 Frank W. Dux fought 329 matches.
He retired undefeated as the World Heavy Weight
Full Contact Kumite Champion.

Mr. Dux still holds four world records:

Fastest Knockout – 3.2 seconds
Fastest Punch with a Knockout – .12 seconds
Fastest Kick with a Knockout – 72 mph
Most Consecutive Knockouts in a Single Tournament – 56

---

He fought 56 men in a row and knocked them all out to win the tournament before purchasing a trophy for himself. I mean, er, received a trophy the size of a local karate tournament for such feats of awesomeness. So, if he fought and defeated 56 men himself this would mean that the following number is FACT if he sticks by his fairy tale.

Someone did the math and if Dux fought 56 competitors in a row then due to doubling the competitors each time you add a round to a bracket and then adding 56 rounds...

The actual number of competitors in that single elimination fictional kumite is almost infinity.

Maybe it was a Round Robin

Tong Po would kick Chong Li out of the atmosphere if they fought.

After getting destroyed at the Kumite by Chong Li, Suan Paredes moved to Thailand, grew a ponytail, and rebranded himself as Tong Po.

He knocked out Joao Gomez out twice in the same fight, so that doesn't mean 56 fighters. Sorry you don't understand your Kumite history.

Do you even "script" bro?

How the frick does that work?

He knocked him out, he got up, then he knocked him out again.

Same reason Daniel LaRusso wasn't DQ'ed for a kick to the head against Johnny Lawrence.

Karate Kid really botched this.

Before the tournament starts Ali tells Daniel:

"Everything above your waist is a point, your head, your sternum, your kidney, your ribs."

Then in the final fight, Johnny sweeps the leg (which is not a point) but as Daniel is falling kicks him in the head and is awarded a point.

Then Johnny punches Daniel in the face and the ref says that's a foul and Johnny isn't awarded any point.

And then of course Daniel kicks Johnny in the face and is given a point and declared the winner.

So you can kick to the face but you can't punch to the face?

I thought everything above the waist was a point?

Is this the therad where we do Bloodsport Power Ratings? The BCS computers had it as

Dux
Li
Jackson
Paco
Sumo
Monkey Man

But the eyeball test tells me that Paco would frick Jackson up and give Li a good run for his money.
