The real Dux served as the film's action choreographer and technical advisor. The screenplay is based on many of Dux's claims first covered in the November 1980 issue of Black Belt magazine. It was one of Van Damme's first starring films and showcased his athletic abilities, launching his career as a mainstream action star. The film centers on Frank Dux (Van Damme), a United States Army Captain and ninjitsu practitioner, who competes in an underground, full-contact martial arts tournament called the Kumite in Hong Kong.

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s latest film, We Die Young, is now in select theaters and on demand.
Predator eventually changed the creature design for the better and became an action classic, and Jean-Claude Van Damme broke out in Bloodsport, where he was able to do all the kickboxing he wanted. Whatever happened, it all worked out for the best. It could have a Rashomon-like structure with each of the accounts of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s exit from Predator as a different chapter, with the audience left to decide where the truth lies. Given Jean-Claude Van Damme’s seeming willingness to laugh at himself late in his career, someone really should put together a short or an internet video with the actor about this situation. So producer Joel Silver fired him and JCVD fired off an insult and left. According to him, Jean-Claude Van Damme wouldn’t stop kickboxing because he saw the alien hunter as having prodigious martial arts talents. The visual effects supervisor on the film Joel Hynek’s account is one of the more outlandish and hilarious. He couldn’t do what producer Joel Silver needed him to do for the role and he was replaced. So he was unable to showcase the athleticism that he showed out of the costume. Then, when the actor was wearing some sort of stilts and was asked to jump in them, he couldn’t do it or didn’t feel safe to. It sounds torturous and claustrophobic, and Jean-Claude Van Damme admits that he didn’t think he was going to make it.
The actor felt like he was unable to breathe as the hot cast was poured all over his body.
From what JCVD told The Hollywood Reporter, it sounds like getting that costume molded for him was an extremely unpleasant experience. When Jean-Claude Van Damme was a part of the movie, it looked way less awesome and more like a lobster. The Predator originally didn’t look like how we know it now. I think we're going to have a problem.' Then he replaced me. I’ve got my friend next to me and I said, ‘Man, I ain’t going to make it.' When Joel asked me to jump, I knew it was going to be a bad one. I like to breathe, you know? They’ve got to do my head and everything. I go to this place and they put me on sticks and woods and they start to melt all the cast on me, and it’s boiling hot.
