    I love it

    I can't explain it, but I love this movie. What gives that movie the edge is the performance of Keith Cooke and Billy Blanks. Loren Avedon cannot keep up with them although he plays the main character (who is quite arrogant in my opinion). The film features decent fights with moody music, all overacted and unrealistic but highly entertaining. When Jake, still in the US, watches that movies and complains about their low quality, its "No retreat, no surrender 3" (starring Loren Avedon, too) and one might find a small piece of self-irony, too.

    Pay close attention here...

    This film is so focused on the fighting they forget the name of the main character...we are introduced to a cop named "Jake", but then the woman he is trying to save at the end can't be bothered to remember what his name is; she calls him "Jack" NUMEROUS TIMES.

    There are so many other cheesy lines which have been mentioned in these reviews...how funny is it when Avedon, looking like he's going to burst into tears, sternly demands Blanks to LET THE GIRL GO!! Great stuff.

    BTW...I believe Blanks' finisher is U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A.

    The best fighting movie ever made!

    It's an absolute shame that a movie this awesome isn't even available in print anymore, considering all of the other crap that is being re-released on DVD. It's also a shame that this movie, along with all of its contributors, have never received any notice (with the exception of Billy Blanks). And I'm being serious. Sure this is a b-movie, but how can anyone who's seen it overlook how much fun it is to watch? _The King of the Kickboxers_ is incredibly entertaining, and that's the whole point of any movie, with or without a compelling plot and acting.

    Everything about this movie is awesome. The dialogue is corny and the acting is campy, but how can you complain? This just gives you something to laugh at. Most mainstream viewers will cringe at the poor acting and turn away from this movie, not even realizing that it can be funny.

    Those people will then miss out on the incredible fighting scenes, which are quite frequent. There isn't a single movie out there with moves as cool as the ones here. You'd never expect to see stuff like this anywhere other than in your imagination, but somehow, the fighters managed to throw attacks at lighting speeds and launched multiple kicks in mid-air without landing (not even Michael Jordan gets this much hangtime)! All the scenes are fast-paced and beautifully coordinated, with camera angles that really get you into the action.

    Even the limited music is excellent. It is not only pleasing to listen to, but effectively helps to set the mood of the scenes. It can give you a creepy feeling at times, and is best used in the final fight scene where the drum beat kicks in to get you into the mood of the action and later as it shifts to a triumphant tone, you can't help but cheer for the good guy as he makes his comeback victory.

    And finally, the plot is perfect for this type of film--simple and limited. Most of the movie is dedicated to the action scenes, while plot developments painlessly interrupt to help support the characters so you can develop feelings about them. The whole movie had the feel of a video game. The protagonist battles through his enemies and works his way up to reach who is ultimately the bad guy and defeats him. The bad guy even has his own finishing move (an awesome one at that) that the good guy must look out for. This is all just like a video game; another reason why I love this movie!

    This is by far the best fighting movie ever, and I've seen quite a few of them. And after serious consideration, I've concluded that this is one of the best movies ever made in any genre. Do whatever you can to see this movie. And if you've already seen this movie but hated it, do me and yourself a favor and watch it again, this time with my review in mind.

    I love director Lucas Lowe

    (1990) King of the Kickboxers ACTION

    Jake Donahue (Loren Avedon) who is now a cop,seeking retribution after witnessing his brother's death 10 years earlier, against a killer martial artist named Khan (Billy Blanks) involve in attempting to make money from martial arts snuff films in Bangkok Thailand.

    The thin backdrop is to showcase actual martial artists do their thing that has similar tone to many Hong Kong films of the 1980's and the 1990's that made them fun to watch in the first place. The person who directed this by the name of Lucas Lowe who directed the most action packed "No Retreat No Surrender" movie of the entire series, which is the third one, the impressive fight sequences are just as realistic and hard hitting as any Hong Kong movie.

    A warning to the dramatics who demand great acting- Anyone wanting to see this thinking s/he are going to see some great acting, than many of you are going to be very disappointed, okay! If the genre says action than i want to see some great action, if it's drama then I'll go and see a drama movie. Does that make sense- it makes sense to me!

    **** Yeah!

    For a period of a couple of years, Loren Avedon appeared in several great martial arts movies with well choreographed, really fun and enjoyable martial arts action. King of the Kickboxers is another great movie and quite similar to the No Retreat, No Surrender movies which were all fun. It's entertainment from beginning to end, superb fighting is what this is about. Don't look for acting, story or things like that, because there aren't any. The appearance of Billy Blanks adds something extra to this film. He's a bad guy in this, and IMHO he suits that better than being a good guy. I think it's because he lacks that special 'good guy charisma', but as a villain he's great.

      Billy Blanks' portrayal of Khan in this film has officially been mentioned (by former Capcom R&D member James Goddard) as the inspiration for the Street Fighter character Dee Jay, who made his first appearance in Super Street Fighter II.
    • Patzer
      When Prang's dead body is thrown into the water by Khan near the end of the movie, you can see pieces of cotton wool stuck up his nose to prevent the water from entering.
    • Zitate

      [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.

    • Alternative Versionen
      The UK video version was cut by 46 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of a naked woman's corpse and a man impaled by a hook, and to edit a scene where a man's face is burnt by an electric fire. The cuts were restored for the 2004 DVD.
