Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Van Damme allegedly did 40 takes of the final fight's fire stunt, suffering second-degree burns. Method or masochism?
This film practically invented the 'noble warrior enters illegal fighting circuit to save family' template that fueled 90s direct-to-video action for a decade.
