I’m looking for a JCvD movie. I’m wanting to say Blood Sport, but I’m doubtful.  
The only feature of it that I can remember is there was a fighting tournament, and there was this black guy who would be all over the mat acting like a monkey. Next thing you know, he would fly into the air and kick the crap out of his opponent.  
IIRC, it was a pretty good fight movie.  
Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Sure sounds like [Bloodsport](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092675/), unless there’s another Jean-Claude Van Damme movie with a drunken monkey kung fu scene in it.

There’s a brief clip of the scene you described [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24j7WthwJXs&t=3m46s).
