this better feature nudity and a better storyline than the original

You know you can see nudity for free on the internet, right?

Its funny because this movie used to be huge in my childhood. Then I saw some of the fight scenes a few weeks ago and it was all so dumb and cheesy lol.

JCVD is starring in his own remake of Kickboxer? Isn't that kinda like traveling back in time and visiting yourself?

Though the movie kicked ass as a child.

Now it seems super retarded.....learning muay thai by doing karate moves at the bottom of a fountain,getting coconuts thrown against your abs,doing flying spinning kicks or doing a split doesnt make too much sense...haermm

OMFG that's even better

They Wont Top The Original....

And If They Do Then It MUST Have Van Damme

-JVCD will be playing the role of Master Chow, the martial artist who teaches Kurt Sloane how to fight Tong Po

- Dave Bautista will be Tong Po

Why does it have to be a friggin remake?

Should make it a sequel of some sort if JVCD is in it.

Would you deny any generation their own masterpiece that is "Kickboxer"?

sounds like unwashed ass, as Rob would say.

this going to be awesome

Because it's lazy. I doubt the brand resonates much besides that.

Was the original film any less lazy, honestly?

It was not built on an existing franchise, just a concept.

An incredibly generic and safe, recycled concept, that required minimal writing talent to create a story around.

The movie is basically just a conglomeration of ripped off plot elements from other famous underdog action flicks of the time. lol

I really hate modern Hollywood. Everything is a damn remake or reboot or sequel or prequel or whatever. Where's the originality?

Not everything

For remakes i hate when they're remake moves that are only 20 or 30 years old, Should be going for older movies then that.

They should just stop remaking movies. They're almost always inferior, look at the new Robocop or Total Recall for example.

Why stop now with remakes?....they've been doing it for years not just in the last 10 or 15 years.

I agree with Robocop but not Total Recall.

it was lazy than, it is lazy now.

I haven't got a problem with them if they got it right, But they can be a matter of opinion there.

i feel like this should mean more to me than it does, lol. As much as i like JCVD and as much as i enjoyed his movies while growing up, his movies only get worse with age. That's not to say that the character he portrayed in his films are any less relevant but unless you grew up with his movies i don't think you will understand that relevance. It's almost like watching a Dirty harry movie with someone who was born in the ninties, they just don't understand that, Clint Eastwood was the king of cool during that era and inspired most of the, everyday action heros, we see in movies today.

Because it's lazy, and because they have no heart anymore. It's just an easy cash-grab. John Carpenter's The Thing is a remake, but it was made it a lot of effort and it's was great. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Then shouldn't you be arguing that they do a better job of making remakes, rather then not making any at all?

Or you've never seen a decent remake of a previous movie in the last couple year's...they have done some good ones, I suppose no use mentioning them you'll just say that they're shit or something along those lines.

Some can have heart, i can enjoy them. I would still prefer that there would be no remakes ever.

Give me an example, the only recent big remakes that I can think of are Oldboy, Total Recall, and Robocop. TR and RC sucked, Oldboy was okay, but I've never seen the original.

No, because I'd rather see some original ideas instead of the endless sequels, remakes, reboots, etc.

Why are they remaking this?? Isn't it time for a remake of "Fern Gully" instead?

Ice Pirates!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a better Tong Po than the original, who was just some dude with really crappy makeup.

On the remake front, it's easy and it avoids issues from writers' strikes.

As to remaking this, meh, don't really care that they are.

Never understood peoples' gripes with remakes/reboots. Even though remakes do often fail in surpassing, let alone matching the original in quality; the original film still exist and can be enjoyed, arguably more-so after you've seen a crappy remake.

eg Conan The Barbarian (1982) is one of my favorite fantasy films; it only increased in enjoyment value after I watched that crappy Jason Momoa reboot.

Did you like Conan the destroyer and Red Sonia? Not as good as Barbarian but I like them non the less.

I did back in the day and do still get nostalgia enjoyment. But they're not even close to Conan 1982 in terms of quality and story, they're your typical 80's fantasy trash that you could catch on late night television on Fridays and Saturdays.

Why anyone cares about this movie is beyond me. When the original, "kickboxer" released, there was a limited access to international martial arts and martial arts stars. However, by now,the Western audience is fully educated on what a masterful martial arts star is capable of producing in the cinema, thanks mostly to, Jackie Chan. I never once went back to, Kickboxer after watching, Rumble in the bronx or, Police story and expecting a better display of martial arts action. This is not a movie that needs to be remade nor was it demanded upon.

No movie really compares to the greatness of Conan the Barb.
But those other 2 were not too bad, besides the cheese. Plus they had prime Arnie in them.

Yeah, but i've seen remakes that top the originals...,Night of the/Danw of the living dead. Just because a Kickboxer movie may see to top the original, doesn't mean it does. Jean Claudes' techniques's were often taken from the same slow motion frame techniques. In other words, when you watch a Van damme or Steven segal, movie, their movies' always had, slow "motion tchniques or / moves" in them.

in other words, Kickiboxer was a piece of shit, even from the very beginning
