Jean-Claude Van Damme debuta en el cine con esta película de título apropiado. Van Damme interpreta a un soldado estadounidense huido en Hong Kong que se ve envuelto en el kumite, una competencia de boxeo ilegal. El que sobreviva al enfrentamiento será proclamado campeón mundial de kumite, un título rodeado de retos y homicidios. La final ofrece un duelo a muerte (o casi) entre Van Damme y el rey de kumite, Bolo Yeung. El guion está basado en la vida del campeón de artes marciales Frank Dux (que también es el coordinador de peleas de la película). Contacto sangriento, aunque no cuenta con los mayores valores de producción, ofrece toda la acción violenta.

Not many people know that there is in the center of Hong Kong, a city of 50,000 inhabitants that escape authority, a city which holds no law and no order, the ‘walled city’. Never before has a television crew been allowed to enter this labyrinth. Christa Wesemann, an Austrian documentary filmmaker, has achieved this for the first time. The recordings from the ‘walled city’ are breathtaking pictures, as it has never seen the world. The history and daily flow in Walled City are ruled by the ‘triad’, a Chinese crime syndicate.
This documentary / fund raiser film was produced in 1984 by the Hong Kong Salvation Army to raise sponsorship for their educational activities in the infamous Kowloon Walled City. The project was filmed in 16mm film.
