FRANK DUX HOLLYWOOD FRAUD

Recently Frank Dux was boasting about himself online. Frank Dux's favorite subject appears to be Frank Dux. He was bragging about his involvement and claims to have "overseen" the fight choreography for the final climactic scene in the movie called Lionheart.

"That’s me overseeing the fight choreography in Lionheart s final climactic scene.  Originally the film was entitled The Wrong Bet.  Jean Claude Van Damme contributes his own ideas while he pretty much Directed all the action and camera  angles... in which he was trying to recapture success and elements of  my choreography Bloodsport final fight scene between him and Bolo.  If you compare the choreography you will notice the they are virtually same like the hand strikes to the knees, jumping spinning kicks, overcome a physical vulnerability/ handicap etc."

According to Lionheart director, Sheldon Lettich,  Dux is exaggerating his involvement, making wild claims, trying to hog all the credit. According to Lettich, the movie's director if you compare the choreography you will notice they are not even close to being "virtually the same."  He goes on to say that it was not  Dux's choreography as he claims both Van Damme and Michel Qissi had a lot to do with it too.  If you compare it with the final fight in "Kickboxer" you will notice similarities as well, and that was solely choreographed by Van Damme and Qissi.

Lionheart's director went on to add that even though Dux was involved in "Lionheart", it doesn't mean that gives him "carte blanche to boast that Van Damme, Qissi, and the rest of them were merely trying to "recapture" the "success and elements" of his choreography in "Bloodsport."  Van Damme and Qissi were also on the set of "Bloodsport," and both of them contributed a great deal to the success of those fights as well."

You have to take the many claims of Dux with a grain of salt.  In all honesty it seems Dux took to the credit for guys like Van Damme and not the other way around like Dux claims. Dux was fired from a movie project not too long after Lionheart because he couldn't cut as the fight choreographer on "Only the Strong" starring Mark Dacasscos. Lettich concluded with;  It's incredibly wrong and egotistical of Dux to claim more than his fair share of the credit."

This isn't the first time Dux's version of things that supposedly happened has been refuted. Dux proclaimed involvement with the movie "Bloodsport" has been disputed as well. He claimed to have had a hand in writing the script for Bloodsport as well as own the rights to Bloodsport both have which been refuted and disporoven by the movie rights various owners , producers director and writers.  Dux is widely considered a fake and a fraud amoung legitimate martial artists. Dux has also made claims of being awarded the medal of Honor for his service though Dux's military claims have long since debunked.

As a once big fan of the movie Bloodsport the fact that the movie involves a character like Dux is now a major stain on the film itself. His exposure as a fraud looms over the film like a black cloud so much so that once Dux was exposed for all his military and spy claims I never made an attempt to watch  the movie again or even purchase the movie on video or dvd.
