- Synopsis:
A year has passed since the brutal showdown between Kurt Sloan (Alain Moussi) and his nemesis, Tong Po, the man responsible for his brother's death. Having gladly left Thailand and the underground fighting scene behind, Kurt is blind-sided when characters from his past make their move of retaliation. Illegally extradited, and waking up behind bars in a Thai prison, Kurt must agree to fight a 6'8" colossus named Mongkut (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) - a spectacle his abductors know will bring in millions - to gain his freedom. His hand forced, Sloan agrees, turning to legendary coach, Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme), to begin the most rigorous training of his life. But will it be enough to survive a killer bout with his most formidable foe yet? - Actors:

The Mouisis from somewhere Francais - Kickboxer: Retaliation review by Pork Chop Express
I was expecting this to be pants.
Actually it wasn't.
The lead martial artist is actually very capable and does have some degree of charisma.
The end fight is completely unbelievable but of course (Tong Po) we expected that anywatly.
Higher production values than you would think and excellent cameo performances from the fighter.
Van Damme is again relegated to his trainer role and his looks are fading so you might be disappointed if you want to see a van Damme movie. Cuz this isn't it.
But the fight scenes and technique are excellent and no wire work on offer that I saw.
I was pleasantly surprised being an 80's martial arts film fan... good deal.
