‘Kickboxer’
After his U.S kickboxing world champion brother is paralyzed from the waist down by vicious Thai fighter Tong Po in a underground match, Kurt (Jean-Claude Van Damme) vows revenge. With help from arms-dealing ex-pat Winston Taylor (Haskell Anderson), Kurt seeks the reclusive Muay Thai sensei Xian Chow to help him train and soon learns that Tong Po might actually be the least of this worries. Coming in at a tight 97-minutes, Kickboxer displays JCVD’s burgeoning action movie star skills as he kicks, dick-punches, and dances (yes, our boy has moves!) everyone else off the screen. Sure, it’s a little corny and low-budget, but isn’t that what you want in a JCVD movie?
