De Belgische acteur Jean Claude van Damme was de afgelopen jaren voornamelijk in de lokale videotheek te vinden, maar hij blijft het proberen. Van Damme gaat samen met martial-arts producer Don Warrener de film Kumite maken die, volgens de producer zelf tenminste, The Muscles from Brussells weer helemaal op de kaart moet gaan zetten.


[eng]"Kumite will bring Van Damme back to the former glory of his Bloodsport and Kickboxer days. He is so focused and determined to make this his best yet that it is totally inspiring. I have just heard the entire storyline this morning and this could very well be the one that puts martial arts movies right back on top, like his Bloodsport did in 1988."[/eng]

De trailer van Van Damme's komende film, Wake Of Death is overigens hier -met moeite- te bekijken.
