Plot summary

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, Master 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.

I kind of like how campy it is.

'KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

A reboot/remake to the 1989 cult classic martial arts flick, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Van Damme returns to play the central character's mentor, while stuntman (turned martial arts actor) Alain Moussi stars in the film, as Kurt Sloane (the role that Van Damme played in the original movie). The story is once again about kick boxer Kurt Sloane wanting revenge for his brother's brutal beating, at the hands of a lethal Muay Thai champion. The film also costars WWE star (turned actor) Dave Bautista, Gina Carano (a former MMA star, turned actress), Georges St-Pierre (a former MMA star, turned actor), Sara Malakul Lane (a Thai model, turned actress) and the late Darren Shahlavi (a former stuntman, turned late martial arts actor). It was directed by actor, turned director, John Stockwell; who's directed such other B-movie cult classics as 'BLUE CRUSH', 'INTO THE BLUE' and 'IN THE BLOOD' (also starring Carano). The script was written by Dimitri Logothetis (who also co-wrote and directed the 2014 martial arts flick 'WINGS OF THE DRAGON'; also starring Moussi), and first time screenwriter Jim McGrath. The film received a direct to Video on Demand (and select indie theaters) release, and it's received mixed reviews from fans. Although it's extremely cheesy, I enjoyed it.

After winning the World Karate Championship, Eric Sloane (Shahlavi) accepts a generously paid offer to travel to Thailand; and compete in an underground fight there. Eric's brother Kurt (Moussi) is extremely worried about the fight, and he attempts to talk his brother out of it. After Eric doesn't listen to him, Kurt travels to Thailand to watch the fight; and he arrives just in time to see his brother brutally murdered (in the fight) by his merciless opponent Tong Po (Bautista). Kurt then wants revenge, and he asks his brother's mentor there, Master Durand (Van Damme), to train him. Durand reluctantly agrees.

The movie is pretty amateurish and cheesy; I'm actually amazed it was funded with a $17 million budget. Stockwell has made much better looking films than this, and so have several of the actors (Van Damme, Bautista, Carano, etc.). Still it is a great homage to the very cheesy, and extremely amateurish, original (which I'm a big fan of); and it's great that they got Van Damme to finally come back to the series (which has spawned multiple other sequels before this). I kind of wish it would have been more professionally made, but I also kind of like how campy it is. I enjoyed it.

The Fight Scenes Are Excellent, The Story Is Not.

This is a standalone film meant as a homage to all the loyal fans of Jean Claude Van Damme, who starred in such cult martial art films like Bloodsport(1988), Kickboxer(1989), Lionheart(1990)and The Quest(1996).

The film stars Alain Moussi in his debut role as Kurt Sloane. This Kurt Sloane should not be confused with the one Van Damme played in the 1989 film Kickboxer. The only fact common with these two films is the fact that Kurt's brother was killed by Tong Po. The original Tong Po was played by actor Michel Qissi who is of Moroccan descent. In this new film, prominent W.W.E. wrestler David Michael "Dave" Bautista Jr. takes the character of Tong Po.

Van Damme plays the role of Muay Thai training instructor, the same role which was played by Hong Kong actor Dennis Chan in the 1989 film.

Verdict: the 1989 film had a very good plot. This film has a very simple and straightforward story. The part where Xian Chow trains Kurt in the traditional Muay Thai manner along with all the black humor thrown in, is lacking in this film. Haskell Vaughn Anderson III also played a prominent role in the 1989 film as Winston Taylor, the Vietnam war veteran who helped Kurt. In the new film there is no such character.

Though the fight scenes and fight choreography are top-notch, the fights are a hybrid of Kickboxing, Capoeira, Brazilian Jui-jitsu and mixed martial arts. The pure ancient technique of Muay Thai is lost. You should also know that there is a tradition Muay Thai dance done before a kickboxing fight(as done by Tong Po in the 1989 film when he fought Eric Sloane).

The film has some very soft sex scenes for adult viewers. Gina Joy Carano and Sara Malakul Lane are the only two prominent women in the film. Georges St-Pierre who is a mixed martial art legend makes a brief appearance in the film along with the late actor Darren Majian Shahlavi. This film is credited as being Darren Shahlavi's last starring role. At the end of the film when the end-credits role we see the words: "The producers wish to acknowledge the passing of Darren Shahlavi whose talent and hard work will be missed".

Though this new addition will never equal the original Kickboxer film, you should definitely watch it for the new generation of fight choreography and as a Van Damme fan, to pay homage to him for all the hard work he has done as a fight choreographer himself in his earlier films.

I Love this Semi Remake this what i wanted to see (spoilers)

*** Review contains spoilers***

I Total Understand this movie didn't get great rating for this movie or Some of other fans of original kick boxer fans are disappointed of Reboot but it's similar to original but it goes on the different Direction of movie something you won't expect like I mean when i say It's different direction not just because it's modern and new movie Reboot the plot takes same thing in start but later on its Kurt going After Tong Po that's what the same thing is but rest of plot is Different besides Kurt Revenge same of plot of movie rest it goes on Its own. I loved original movie so much it was fantastic and jean Claude Van Damme is great its like Stallone was training boxing in rocky in Creed (2015 he trains Apollo creed son, Xian Chain trains Kurt Van Damme Character now it's Van Damme to be teacher train to train Kurt

It's different and plot starts off Kurt Sloane (Alain Moussi) is the Younger brother of older brother Eric Sloane (Darren Shahlavi) won the Fight is World Karate Championship at a Celebratory event at the Sloan Gym. Marcia (Gina Carano) is a dealer for fight promoter but she is a Crook making dirty business she arrives in GYM and invites Eric to go To Thailand to fight in an underground match. Eric thinks that they can Make more money and get their name known, movie doesn't take same Direction as original as what you seen it goes on different way. A while later, Kurt receives an envelope ticket to Bangkok. So he goes There when the fight already started? Plot of movie in my problem is Showed the fight Straight away like the fight already started it's like We missed start when Eric Was fighting with Tong Po already fight was Like 30 Seconds of Film. Then Kurt saw Eric Fighting in with Tong Po (Dave Bautista) seconds later Tong Po got Eric Neck and kills him (Sara Malakul Lane) as Liu Liu, a Local Thai police officer, has been planning to stop the underground Fights much to the chagrin of her superior, Wattona, who is on Marcia's Payroll. After fight was over Kurt was taken to Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is now a Teacher like in original movie like Xian Chow. Kurt wanted to know he trained his brother Eric fight Muay Thai soon he leaves Thailand but he rejected that order to go home but He is staying in Thailand because he wants Durand to train him to fight Tong Po. I like movie different direction like it's not really same Expect plot movie when Kurt wants revenge from Tong Po i love opening of movie Alain and George st Pierre in fighting scene straight away the action takes it on love it perfect shot Straight away he was in it but not a lot specially scene where he fights with van Damme. Fight scenes and training were very different comparing with original The training is like today training it goes on the Different Training. The fight scenes is pretty good very well done no slow motion or CGI Crap in movie never was the fight between Kurt and Tong Po it does Bring back traditional like Kurt and tong put their hands in glass Punching each another like original they fight each another with swords That's something different in movie I like that fighting each another With weapons new cool idea I like idea of all Film it takes different Ideas.

only thing i am Disappoint In movie that is Eric was only in it like 30 Seconds Of Movie and actor has passed away after filming this movie Darren Shahlavi only last movie was only in it for 30 Seconds that what got me Upset I don't understand why director or anyone didn't give Darren Shahlavi get him to do more in movie more acting more kicking ass i Thought this is a martial arts movie? But anyway there you go Eric Dies in it so quickly in movie but why writers didn't didn't give

Character more things then he die later on? But writing is a big Mistake in my opinion. One of last time you see Darren Shahlavi in Movie such shames that directors and writes didn't give him more to do Another thing got me upset is Gina Carano character play's goodly And villain one of another she is MMA Fighter retired she is now doing Movies kicking ass she worked with director John Stockwell in movie, In The Blood (2014). Didn't do anything in movie not really in it as much she doesn't do anything in movie.Fight's in movie Gina Carano? But not in this movie that's shame,Cain Velasquez was not in it or didn't say much all he did is hit the crap of Kurt and Durand Kicked him Cain Character why didn't give him something to do, Fabrício Werdum eh is

only in it for 30 seconds fights with Kurt He didn't say anything or does anything it is shame i wanted them to do something and more acting come on i thought this is a big movie with actors And UFC so give them more to do. But still I love this movie cast yeah Van Damme is back different character as Teacher worth watching it is fast paced.plus, did anyone notice Original Tong Po from 1989 Kickboxer was in scene of movie in prison he says to Van Damme and Alain character only says what about me ?

A great action movie comes in a Different direction can't wait for sequel its a great remake and its noting really like original movie just watch original and this flick.
