Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Kahn is a heavy weight kick-box champion, who often kills his opponents in front of the running camera, to sell it on video tape. Jake had to witness once how his brother was killed by him, and now has come for revenge. But first he has to improve his fighting skills; he asks Phang, the only person in the whole world who ever had Khan down on his back, to train him until he is a match for him.

| Quotes |
[from trailer]
Prang: What are you doing back here in Thailand? Jake Donahue: [referring to Khan] You can help me. Teach me how to stop him. Prang: [remembers his defeat at Khan's hands and is doubtful that he can help] What I have to offer, might not be enough. See more » |
