Loved the training part of this gr8 martial art flick.

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2016)

Kickboxer is one of Van Dammes best films (not as good as Bloodsport though). Muay Thai fight sequences are choreographed very well. It is a predictable film n full of clichés. Now comes the training part man, JCVD having his legs pulled apart with ropes (ouch the groin man), kicking down palm trees (the shin bone hurts man), coconuts dropped onto him from a great height, raw meat tied to his legs so dogs would chase him (Usayn bolt can learn something man), being kept underwater whilst performing various kicks (Mickey Mehta stole ideas from JCVD) and finally training in the ruined temple where he could hear the noises made by the ancient warriors (is it a fantasy flick man). Nevertheless I enjoyed this the first time I saw on a rented VHS during the early nineties. I still own a DVD of it. Fans of the genre shud definitely own a DVD or blu ray of it. Directed by Mark DiSalle n David Worth (The perfect weapon n Lady dragon respectively).
