Jean-Claude Van Damme again starred in "Kickboxer"



"Kickboxer" - one of the cult films of the era of video salons, which gave birth to a lot of continuations and imitations. The main star of the film was Jean-Claude Van Damme (who had his own branded twine and turntable) gaining at that time frenzied popularity. And now, almost 30 years later, Van Damme again in the ring


The truth is no longer as a fighter, but as a mentor. Remake of the very "Kickboxer" came out in 2016. It also, as in the original film, it was about a young fighter (played by Alain Mussi), who decided to avenge the death of his brother in battles without rules. And it will be cooked, as I said, master of martial arts from Thailand, performed by Van Damme. Remake - frankly weak, judging by the reviews (I myself did not watch it, to be honest).

But this did not prevent to withdraw the sequel "Kickboxer Returns" - a sequel to the remake. Well, apparently, to give greater importance to this creation, his actors decided to strengthen - except for the antiquity of Van Damme in the film starred Christopher Lambert and Mike Tyson

The main antagonist of the film, which will defeat the protagonist, will be the Norwegian heavyweight, who was offered to play Haftor Bjørnson (Gore from the "Game of Thrones")



Here's what the trailer of the new film looks like (sounded, like the original film from the 90's, by Andrey Gavrilov)
