Una pelÃcula destinada a la basura. Un actor desesperado durmiendo en un coche. Una mentira que se convirtió en leyenda.
En 1988, Contacto Sangriento (Bloodsport) no deberÃa haber funcionado. Producida por la caótica Cannon Films con un presupuesto irrisorio, rodada en las peligrosas entrañas de la Ciudad Amurallada de Kowloon y protagonizada por un desconocido belga que apenas hablaba inglés, la cinta estaba sentenciada a morir en una estanterÃa polvorienta.
Sin embargo, ocurrió un milagro.
Este libro es la crónica definitiva de cómo Jean-Claude Van Damme pasó de robar comida para sobrevivir a convertirse en el icono de una generación. A través de una investigación exhaustiva, Kumité te lleva al corazón de la producción más improbable de la historia del cine de acción.
En este libro descubrirás: -El mito de Frank Dux: La investigación real sobre el hombre que afirmó haber peleado en 329 combates secretos y cómo su historia real se desmoronó en los tribunales. -El desastre salvado en la sala de edición: Cómo Van Damme y el editor Carl Kress rescataron una pelÃcula inenarrable para convertirla en una obra maestra del ritmo y la violencia. -El factor Bolo Yeung: La historia detrás de Chong Li, el villano que nos enseñó a temer (y admirar) la fuerza bruta. -El legado digital: La conexión directa y sorprendente entre la pelÃcula, el nacimiento de Mortal Kombat y la creación del personaje Johnny Cage. Desde los sintetizadores de Paul Hertzog hasta los callejones de Hong Kong, este es un viaje nostálgico y revelador. No es solo la historia de una pelÃcula; es la historia de cómo la ficción superó a la realidad y definió el cine de artes marciales para siempre.Entra al Kumité. El torneo acaba de empezar.
