Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Randel Winston I can't believe the score this movie gets around 5/10. Are you kidding me. This movie is in my Top 10 movies of all time. I love Loren Avedon, I'm a huge fan of him.This movie basically gets everything right and I mean everything. The training scenes are awesome, you really hate the villain, you like the hero, the music was great and the fighting was the best ever (high energy kick butt action). Billy Blanks and Loren Avedon a great combination, like Peanut butter and Chocolate.It's simple stuff, but you won't believe how many movies screw that up.When I watched this movie it came on The Movie Channel (HBO, or Showtime in USA). I knew from the preview trailer that this movie was awesome. God was I right.The side-effect of this movie was, I kept looking for similar movies like this and boy was that a bad idea. 80-90's American martial art movies are really bad. I saw around 200 of them and maybe 10 were OK, however none of them came close to King of the Kickboxers.
kphurley-1 This film is so focused on the fighting they forget the name of the main character...we are introduced to a cop named "Jake", but then the woman he is trying to save at the end can't be bothered to remember what his name is; she calls him "Jack" NUMEROUS TIMES.There are so many other cheesy lines which have been mentioned in these reviews...how funny is it when Avedon, looking like he's going to burst into tears, sternly demands Blanks to LET THE GIRL GO!! Great stuff.BTW...I believe Blanks' finisher is U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A.
Joseph P. Ulibas The King of the Kickboxers (1991) was another U.S./Hong Kong co-production from N.G. and the other folks at Seasonal Films. Like most of N.G.'s productions, the kung-fu films that usual come from Seasonal are cheesy with a heavy dose of high energy fighting. That's what I like about his films. He doesn't even try to be serious or make an attempt to elevate the source material. This film is no exception. An arrogant fighter is given an assignment to find out who's making "real" kung-fu movies in Thailand (like Mexico where life is cheap). He's also intrigued by the mission because of what happened to him the last time he visited Bangkok. Whilst in Bangkok he learns about the presence of a vicious Kickboxer (Billy Blanks). Not only does he get a free trip to Thailand but he can settle an old score. Filled with many references to Kickboxer and parodies of other Seasonal Films productions. King of the Kickboxers is a very entertaining film. The film-makers and the actors seem to be having a whole lot of fun making this one. So sit back and relax. When watching this video gem remember "It's only a movie!" Highly recommended!A
wong-3 KOTK kicks ass!!!! THe acting is really crap, but as a fan of all 3 No Retreat, No Surrender films, this beats them all hands down. Billy Blanks gets his head to play with, in OTT karate scenes. Prang (the metal-handed guy from China O'Brien), is small but deadly. If you want a laugh and plenty of fighting, and you like the cheap B-movie karate films, then look at this.
