Eric and Kurt Sloane are the descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists. Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric's shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion. Against Kurt's concerns, Eric accepts a paid offer and travels to Thailand to challenge the Muay Thai champion Tong Po and fails with dire consequences. Kurt sets out for revenge. He trains with his brother's mentor, Durand, for a Muay Thai fight against the merciless champion, Tong Po.
Durand first thinks Kurt is impossible to train, but through a series of spiritual exercises and tests, Durand discovers that Kurt has a deeper strength that will carry him through his final showdown with Tong Po.

An honest, powerful but cheesy remake of a 80s classic. I went to the world premiere Fantasia festival of Kickboxer remake. This is coming from a Van damme, 80s movie fan. And its all that matters.
The movie is dumb, cheesy to the core, but sill, fun, with good moments, good old fights and real homage to not only the 80s, but what Van dammme gave us. Van damme made the movie. He has amazing moments, scenes and fight a lot. Alain Moussi the star is great, he is showing his abilities on screen, GSP, the legendary Georges St-pierre put something far more better than the Winter soldier character with now, real comedy, fighting etc.
Goods is that, its fun, its put many tribute moments to the original movie. It has amazing cinematography mostly the training scenes in thailand , good old 80s vibe that true fans will enjoy, and not be taken seriously. Mma fans will love the show of many ufc fighters.
Again, if you are younger, or never was in this old era, you won't enjoy it or understand it for what it is ShaskaRevolver Jul 14, Details Edit. Release date September 1, Cambodia.

Connections Featured in Top Fighter User reviews Review. Top review. Pure bliss from start to finish. This film has it all. For the martial arts fan: We have the great fight scenes between JC and Tong Po and what's better than a good training sequence.
For the Van Damme: It is the best film ever. Full of what makes a great Van Damme film. We have splits, the spinning kick and some excellent dress sense. But what makes Kickboxer such a great film is 1.
The scene where Van Damme is drunk and is dancing. Utter genius. I strongly recommend every one goes out and buys this film. DonVitoCorleone Jan 6,
