Fun fact - they offered to have a stunt double play the brick but the brick said it would be more authentic to do the stunt itself and actually shattered into a million pieces just for the shot. True dedication.

You left out the part where Bolo Yeung says, "Bricks don't hit back."

I always love how Donald Gibb seems to be part of the scenery in every movie from the 80's and 90's!!!!

RIP Bottom Brick (1987-1988)
"Sorry you were never laid."

[keshawnjack]

The cuts to everybody’s face was the most important part.

[universal_wisdom]

If it’s in slow motion. You know it’s a good 80s movie.

[xmanNo]

I miss watching these movies with my late father. I’m going to watch bloodsport.

[buffengamen]

The fact that they were all minding their business then stopped just for him breaking a brick is anxiety inducing

[keepaway]

The fact there was no stunt double proves that he is a true martial artist

[MorsDengse]

Van Damme literally was able to break physics.

[philipjohnson]

Jean Claude help make that Era of time just the best of all Eras of movies.

[LeftyRedd]

"Everyone, this is an 80s action movie. Stop what you're doing and gather around, but very quietly."

[jesusrios]

hands down my favorite Jean Claude Van Damme movie. 1988 was a great year. wish I could go back in time

[jbanks]

1980's movie on a Saturday morning/afternoon, priceless

[kristophermann]

I love this movie! I watched it everyday after school for like 2 years..

[ronhenry]

Steven Seagal would just talk smack to the brick and it would explode from the massive amount of B.S.

[cyberpunk_]

This is my childhood. Man man man, we were privileged to experience the wonderful 80s and 90s.

[shawnwojcik]

I was always amazed by the ageless wonder that is Bolo Yeung! He barely aged a day since Enter the Dragon.

[iBeerus-]

the music, everyone standing around, the style and outfits. this is the most 80s thing ive ever seen

[ColonelNickSteel]

How this didn’t win an Oscar for best screenplay is beyond me.
