    This film was just perfect for it's time. If you watch it in the old frame of mind then it's great fun. If you really look at it now then it is a simple obvious story with bad acting. I think this film is great. It reminds me of simpler times and simpler storys. Great fun from the time when action films were at there high point.

    I used to like this movie as a kid. It does have action and plenty of emotion to keep you interested. But it is very cliche and I don't think very well acted. I also dislike the theme of the american hero against the evil foreigners. That said though I am impressed with Jean-Claude martial arts abilities.

    My favourite Van Damme's movie. I know, it's lame and crapy but I like it. It's a classic of the genre.

    Kickboxer is a gritty martial arts movie that is entertaining despite the predictable plot and shallow characters, the movie is a general feel good flick with some great fights and demonstrations of Van Damme's athleticism.

    One of Van Damme's best pure martial arts movie,along with Bloodsport.Of course,it's predictable,it's clichéd,and it's not very original,but it's actually well made,and engaging.Van Damme is fun to watch,and the fight sequences,especially the climax of the movie,are worth it.It's basically an average '80's martial arts film,but it's entertaining,and that's the basic purpose of these kind of movies.

    All action and bad acting.
    Tong Po was a great villain and the things he did, made me cringe.
    Th eending was predictable, but well done.

    This is one hell of a movie! Van Damme's elder brother fights someone called Tong Po and ends up paralysed. Van Damme seeks revenge for his brother and wants to learn the art... He eventually gets to some old Chinese/Japanese guy for the training to avenge his brother's state. After some hard training and butt kicking days, he gets to fight the massive Tong Po. The best bit in this movie is a dance in some pub. He was drunk then! This movie is worth the watch coz all those skills and thrills which it has will leave you agap!

    I loved the dancing scene, I still laugh out loud every time I hear the immortal line: "hey xian, why'd dos guyz try to urt me?"

    This is not a great film as far as film goes, but it does what it was meant to do - it has some great fight scenes, it has Van Damme (of which I am an irrational fan), and it has a few laughs. Watch it, but do not analyze it. Turn your mind off and enjoy the glory that was the late 80's early 90's martial arts genre.

    Maybe the 2nd best kung fu movie of Van Damme. Shows how muay thai fighters are really tough. Tong Po is really deadly!

    One of Jean-Claude Van Damme's best films. Has some great kickboxing fights. Done in a type of Rocky style.

    Easily Jean-Claude Van Damme's best movie. He does all of his trademark moves, including showing off his side split and has a couple good montages. What makes the movie though, is the villain Tong Po. He can be seen early on in the movie shin-kicking a really big wooden beam until it breaks. Niccccce.

    One of many standard movies for JCVD to perform the splits whilst wearing tight garments - thus giving proof regarding the existence of detachable genitalia.
