Bloodsport 5 marks the epic revival of the iconic martial arts franchise, bringing back Jean-Claude Van Damme as Frank Dux and Bolo Yeung as the legendary Chong Li. Set decades after the events of the original film, Frank Dux has retired from the brutal world of underground fighting, now leading a quiet life as a mentor to a new generation of martial artists.

However, when whispers of a dangerous new kumite surface, now evolved into a global spectacle with higher stakes and lethal consequences, Dux is pulled back into the fray. The secret tournament fuses traditional martial arts with modern, experimental combat styles, making it deadlier than ever. Dux reluctantly steps in to protect his trainees from becoming pawns in this deadly game.

To make matters worse, Chong Li—believed to have retired long ago—returns as the mastermind behind this modern kumite, seeking to reclaim his dominance and settle old scores. The clash between Dux and Li reignites, blending personal vendetta and the fight for martial arts honor.

The movie builds toward a climactic showdown where Dux must not only prove his enduring skill but also pass the torch to his students, ensuring that the spirit of martial arts survives in a world consumed by greed and violence.
