For the martial arts fan: We have the great fight scenes between JC and Tong Po and what's better than a good training sequence.
For the Van Damme: It is the best film ever. Full of what makes a great Van Damme film. We have splits, the spinning kick and some excellent dress sense. But what makes Kickboxer such a great film is 1.) When Van Damme says "I was sent by Mr Xian for his eh grocheries" truly magnificent. 2.) The scene where Van Damme is drunk and is dancing. Utter genius.
I strongly recommend every one goes out and buys this film.
