Young Frank Dux, who looks like he has down syndrome and has a horrible lisp has to be the worst actor period! I really don't know why anyone would have cast this kid. No surprise he never acted again.
"Are Ooo Gunna CALL DA CoPZ"
The best part about that kid is that not only was he coached and directed on how to deliver his lines, and how to act - but they probably shot his scenes multiple times and those were still the best takes they got.
shareLMFAO... My sides are actually hurting!
shareI wonder if today that kid is still trying in front of a mirror to say his lines convicingly!
Cop: You're going to burn for this, Angel.
Harry Angel: I know. In hell.
Best bit: the way Unlucky Pierre is just stood there like a retard looking totally gormless, while Shingo saunters right across the room to kick his (dumb) ass. Genius. Give the man a *beep* medal!
shareThe kid portrayed Shingo kicked his ass in acting as well. LOL

Ha ha, love it when he's getting beat on at school and his punching bag mate comes to his rescue,"Some day I'll fight in the Kumite and make my Father proud."
The acting is pretty poor and some of the screenplay is just as bad but still one of my all time favourite films.
I was bored so just googled Pierre Rafini and it seems that he works in the restaurant industry in Hong Kong now.
This whole thread was entertaining. One of the better ones I've read. Loved the reference to his "Giants" wardrobe.
"Oh Look, a deli meat!"
yea this kid is frickin hilarious.
i love the fight scene at school. It honestly looks like a homemade movie. And after Frank beats everyone up and then helps shingo up, shingo doesnt thank him or anything. He just inexplicably states that he wants to fight in the kumite. Could you imagine that?
"someday i want to fight in the kumite"
"umm ok, do u have anything to say about me beating the crap out of everyone"
"no, not really"
"soooo that line was just completely random right"
"yea, sorry about that"

I love that kid.
In fact, a friend and I were gonna dedicate a website to hima few years ago, complete with Bloodsport soundboard.
The kid is so awful, it's great :-)
"It's just a movie" is no excuse for treating us like idiots!

whoever said mike phelps was right.. the giants shirt initially makes you think of eli manning but the kid most resembles the weed smoker who swims.
dudes are really ethering this kid...never noticed the ping pong action with his eyes during the scene with both sets of parents...
he's BAD...
gotta love 80s action films...
one of the worst actors EVER...and a future Oscar winner(Forest Whitaker) in the same film...
are the kids who break into Tanaka's house the same kids who get beat up by young Frank?
yo, this is the FUNNIEST thread on imdb.....
"give up round eye"
i always have a laugh at this kid in the film - he is the worst actor ive ever seen.
the ping pong action of his eyes is hilarious
if you cant stand the heat, just wait til you get to hell

Lol you're right! It was terrible!
That makes this movie all the better though!
It is supposed to be bad!
Or at least, accepted.
lol...
:)
I don't think it ruined the movie one bit, personally. I get a chuckle out of it. Do not think I would change this scene if I had a time machine.
With all these comments about Down's Syndrome and being retarded, it's a good thing Sarah Palin isn't reading this thread. We might all be in big trouble.
Seriously, though, the kid is a crack-up. I love his, "What kinduvadeal?"
I have seen worse acting, though. Check out Dan Marino in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. He doesn't act at all. He doesn't even try.
We report, you decide; but we decide what to report.
I'm going to get a San Francisco Giants hat and a NY Giants shirt, wear them around town and see if anyone notices.
shareI second the notion that this is the best thread on IMDB. Between the kicking down syndrome line, ping pong eyes and mismatched giants gear, this has to be the best.

Can't believe there's no Youtube of that kid. Btw. did anyone notice his eyes are brown (Van Damme's are blue)
sharelol this is funny i watched this recently and thought of starting a thread about the same thing. me and my brotherr were watching this and we laughed are asses off every time he spoke heck even when he didn't his freaking face lol

bump because the VP just confused the SF and NY Giants

HahA! This has got to be the funniest thread I've read in a long time on imdb.
After Tanaka slices the brim of his cap off, the kid was still hanging on to it during the ping pong eyes scene.
BEST. CHILD. ACTOR. EVER.
Have a plan, and stick to it.
They should have shown him later with the brim glued back onto the cap. a really bad glue job with white blobs sticking out every which way. Hell - that hat should be in the Smithsonian.
You can believe what you want, but don't believe it here. - Harry Crumb
I was just going to post this on here myself, silly me to think someone else hadn't already beat me to it. That kid, what were they thinking?? First he doesn't even look like Van Damme, he has black hair. Second he looks/acts like an actual retard. What the hell were they thinking?
shareFor another one, you have to go back to the original 1958 version of The Blob, with Steve McQueen, and note the fine acting of the little boy playing Danny Martin.
