Sheldon Lettich helped write Bloodsport, and Double Impact. Director Sheldon Lettich is on record as saying ‘Lionheart aka Wrong Bet' was the first movie to demonstrate that Van Damme was more than just a flash-in-the-pan "Karate Guy" who would never rise above simplistic low-budget karate movies.” Wrong Bet grossed $24.3 million worldwide on a $6 million budget.
