    Martial Arts movie, 80's/90's.
    Hi,
    Im searching for a movie I watched when I was a kid. I thought it had van damme in it but I could be wrong.
    The plot is about fighters who fight in a colusium type arena, and they use different ancient weapons like the big sword on the end of stick, and another with blades in the shape of an "S". They fight to death.
    Could be around the 80's/90's not sure.
    I think another scene is when he is a boy he breaks into the house and see's the samuri sword on the mantel, and steals it. Breaks through a window I think. Then he gets caught, and becomes trained by the guy who he steals from. Think its set in asia somewhere..

    Sorry for the bla bla description but this is just what's popping to mind.
    Cheers, if anyone can help...
