While in Moscow, the family watches the 1988 film Bloodsport. Several scenes from the film are shown, including the fight against Chong-Li, Frank Dux training on top of a Hong Kong skyscraper, and other Kumite fights. At one point, the crowd chants, 'Nok Su Kow! Nok Su Kow!' That is a line from Kickboxer, not Bloodsport.
The film starts with Amin listening to Take On Me (a-ha), 1984.
The song was only released in 1985.
