Was some of this filmed in Kowloon Walled City?

I'm speaking particularly to the alleyways leading up to the entrance of the secret Kumite dojo. Also Van Damme has a small fight against the American stooges here.

Kowloon wasn't demolished until 1993, so that makes it possible for Bloodsport to have some filming there.

I searched it myself, and yes it was filmed in Kowloon:

Bloodsport was filmed entirely on location in Hong Kong. It is one of the few films featuring scenes filmed inside Kowloon Walled City before its demolition in 1993."

I did not know about this. Thanks for sharing.

Hong Kong's urban density never ceases to be visually striking.
