Well, they're about as talented as Van Damme, so hey.

 

[Octoberist]

Good job, Dave Bautista.

 

[Wheels]

mmmmmlay.

 

[Octoberist]

This will bomb no doubt

We all know the true star of the Kickboxer franchise is Sasha Mitchell........[YT]YQUP2PuXVVM[/YT]

 

[Octoberist]

BTW, neither of them are even playing the main character, haha.

Dave Bautista as Tong Po is amazing. I doubt it will bomb. It's a martial arts flick, the Undisputed flicks cost $3 million a piece.

 

[Tequilla]

Can he do a split ?

Jean-Claude Van Damme Joins Remake Of 'Kickboxer'

The martial artist and thespian is replacing Tony Jaa in the currently lensing remake of his breakout hit film "Kickboxer." The actor is taking the role of "Master Chow" which should be....interesting. Dave Baustista, former UFC champ Georges St. Pierre and some guy named Alain Moussi lead the movie, and with JCVD involved, we just got more interested. Full press release below.

How generic.

 

[Duke]

I'll just stick with the original VanDamme version.



BTW, Clippy might not be pleased.

What the frikity frick is that?

 

[TX85]

Looks like a decent watch on Netflix someday

 

[TheVileOne]

Looks like a B-C level movie but it might work in that sense as something you'd watch at home and not in theaters.

 

[dude stannis]

Reviews are saying it's a total wash aside from Van Damme's troll job of a performance.

 

[Nathan]

This is a straight to DVD deal, right?

Fantasia Fest Review: KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE Is Hilarious Nonsense

 

[Wheels]

Hilarious nonsense? Well, now I'm definitely watching this at some point.

Review: ‘Kickboxer: Vengeance’ Doubles Down on Splits, Kicks, and Dancing

The Third Installment of the ‘Kickboxer’ Reboot Trilogy Has a Title and Start Date

 

[chamber-music]

This movie was not good at all. The lead actor can not act and has zero screen presence. Van Damme pretty much sleep walks through his mentor role.

The best thing about the movie was the funny dance scene remake over the credits.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

This sounds tragic.

 

[TheVileOne]

After doing Guardians and Bond, can't Batista learn he doesn't have to say yes to every movie he's offered?

 

[Fallen Angel]

This was so bad, watched it a few weeks back. I mean they're already dong a sequel to it. It mustn't have cost all that much to make.

I pray JCVD doesn't do a BloodSport remake. Or I'll have his head.
