Lionheart (also known as Wrong Bet, A.W.O.L.: Absent Without Leave, Leon and Full Contact) is a 1990 action film, directed by Sheldon Lettich, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and co-starring Brian Thompson, along with Harrison Page, Deborah Rennard, Lisa Pelikan, and Ashley Johnson.
The film stars Van Damme as a paratrooper legionnaire; when his brother is seriously injured he returns to Los Angeles to enter the underground fighting circuit to raise money for his brother's family.
Arguably one of the essential Van Damme films in the view of fans, the film's cast and crew included two people who had appeared in an earlier Van Damme film: Michel Qissi (a good friend of his) and Sheldon Lettich. This was the second time Qissi played a villain in a Van Damme film, the first being notably as Tong Po in Kickboxer (1989). Lettich helped write one of Van Damme's breakthrough films, Bloodsport, along with another Van Damme film, Double Impact.
Lyon Gaultier is a paratrooper in the French Foreign Legion, stationed in Djibouti, North Africa. His brother, who is married to an American woman in Los Angeles, is burned alive during a deal gone wrong and suffers third-degree burns, dying shortly afterward. Lyon deserts his legion when they withhold letters from his brother's wife and ultimately refuse to let him see his brother. He steals a jeep and escapes through the desert, finding work on a tramp steamer headed for the U.S. Meanwhile, the Legion commanding officer also travels to the States, arriving at the French Embassy, where he is told that Lyon's desertion is ranked at low importance with the LAPD, so he orders two of his own Legionnaires to do the job.

If you are wind, I would go to a place where wind don't blow
It's time to leave
If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
You have to see and tell me why you cry
Why you cry
He came to save our lives; to kill the tyrant and the beast
He brought a legion
And maybe one day he will rise up and say:
I fought in this holy war, in quest to find the Astral Doors
Look into the future; you'll fall forever
In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive
Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, fighting side by side
They came to paradise; I stood beside them in my dreams
And all those pages
To me seemed so real though they're all make believe
Liar; how you sacrificed my soul
Got no wish of growing old
And when I die at last; I won't miss you
To the warrior from the loser; who can survive?
Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side
[Solo: Nordlund / Nordlund]
In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive
Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, my life at stake
Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side
If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
