Frank Dux’s name became so world renowned in the underground fight circuit that it came to be immortalized by the 1988 motion picture based upon his early life achievements, entitled Bloodsport, responsible for launching the film career of Jean Claude Van Damme - it is a cult classic, globally popular - attributed to Frank Dux inspiring story and implementing a new realistic fight choreography Hollywood film makers adopted and use today.

Bloodsport is a 1988 martial arts film "based on true events in the life of Frank Dux." Although it enjoyed little box office success, it is considered a genre classic by martial arts film enthusiasts for showcasing a large variety of international fighting styles, ranging from Kung Fu to Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai. Bloodsport tells the story of an American man who was trained from his youth in the ways of Ninjutsu by a Japanese master of the art, Senzo Tanaka. Primarily to honor his mentor out of gratitude and respect for having been allowed the training in place of Senzo Tanaka's deceased and only son, Dux leaves for Hong Kong to participate in the Kumite — an illegal and underground, freestyle, single-elimination and occasionally deadly full-contact martial arts tournament to which the world's best martial artists are clandestinely invited every five years.
