In the second part of my exclusive interview with filmmaker Sheldon Lettich on The Action Fix Podcast, we continue our conversation on his illustrious career. Lettich has been involved in some of the most influential action movies to date including working Van Damme in Lionheart, Double Impact and Bloodsport. He even gives us some exclusive behind the scenes working with Daniel Bernhardt on Perfect Target as well as Dolph Lundgren on the much-maligned film The Last Warrior.
Lettich has a new book out titled SHELDON LETTICH: FROM VIETNAM TO VAN DAMME which chronicles all his anecdotes from working in Hollywood for over 40 years and working with some of the most iconic action stars in the business. Lettich’s first directorial effort which is a Vietnam War action short FIREFIGHT starring Frank Dux and Brian Thompson from COBRA was recently released after being shelved for over 30 years. In part 2, Lettich tells us how involved it was on making the passion project and working with Brian on his first action role.
It’s Part 2 of The Action Fix interview with action filmmaker Sheldon Lettich! A must watch for any serious action film fan!
As you can see, we only hit the tip of the iceberg in regard to talking about Lettich’s career. Be on the lookout for a follow up interview with iconic action filmmaker Sheldon Lettich on a future episode of The Action Fix Podcast!
Firefight is now available for free on The Viking Samurai’s YouTube Channel!
Firefight comes from the mastermind of legendary action filmmaker Sheldon Lettich (Lionheart, Double Impact) and stars Frank Dux (Bloodsport), Phillip and Simon Rhee (Best of the Best) and Brian Thompson (Terminator, Cobra, Lionheart) in a tale of soldiers fighting for survival.
In a way, it’s a prequel to Bloodsport in more ways than one. Within the film we bear witness to Frank Dux’s heroics while battling in Vietnam. Outside the film, while editing Firefight, Sheldon Lettich met Mark DiSalle and the two, along with Frank Dux, would collaborate in bringing the martial arts classic Bloodsport to life.
Firefight has just been restored in 2K high definition and will premier exclusively on The Viking Samurai’s YouTube Channel on March 2nd, 2023. Stay tuned at The Viking Samurai for updates!
