    This is low budget and hilariously bad!

    Early work from the Tempe entertainment guys! This is why they re released it under the Bad Movie Police series. They know it is bad!! You will absolutely have a blast watching this really bad bad bad movie! the lead is EXTREMELY bad! the action is ludicrously bad! and the rest of the film is just awful! Awful funny that is!!! If you are a fan of Tempe then see this one! if not stay clear of it!! Since this is for people who know how to enjoy a bad film.

    Yes, It's Horrible

    Generally, when I read a review from some guy claiming the movie is "the worst movie I've ever seen", I'm a little skeptical. How many movies have you seen, buddy? However, if you're going to say that about "Chickboxer", I'm not going to knock you, as this movie sucks in pretty much every respect. I own the DVD and I'm amazed to learn there was a different opening scene on the original VHS-you mean there's worse than watching someone tie their shoes for five minutes?!?!? I won't dig into the flaws, because the entire movie is one massive flaw in and of itself, but will instead focus my contempt on the cynicism (or is it sadism?) that would allow a person to allow an amateurish piece of garbage like this to get distribution. How many people rented this back in the day, thinking they were going to be watching a legitimate B-movie? Happily, I paid $0.50 for my copy, new, still in the shrink wrap. And I still feel cheated.

    Rarely seen

    This campy mess has near zero entertainment value. Not only have I seen this film, I actually own one of the few available VHS copies. I am sure Michelle Bauer, who is always does a good job, does not have Chickboxer on her resume. Michelle plays a supporting role, and is on camera for about 5 minutes. Probably, she did the job during lunch hour. The leading actress and remaining cast are strictly amateurs. To anyone who writes that they have just watched the worst film ever made, I will challenge them to watch this film.

    Regarding the plot, the description on the video box cover is a hoot. "Blazing across the air waves comes America's favorite super-heroine: Chickboxer! ... finale explodes in a action-packed all-out kick boxing war (okay some guys fall down from some lame blows)! Chickboxer is a smash action epic from the creators of (three films you never heard of)". There is no nudity, bad language and violence is fairly tame. This film, not coming to your TV or video store, soon, or ever.

    Not Horrible

    The Plot.

    "Blazing across the air waves comes America's favorite super- heroine: Chickboxer! ... finale explodes in a action-packed all-out kick boxing war (okay some guys fall down from some lame blows)!

    Chickboxer is a smash action epic from the creators of (three films you never heard of)".

    For the tiny amount of money they put into this movie I have to say it's a lot better than similar movies made today on low budgets.

    It's campy and intentionally funny. No nudity is a let down.

    But it's worth a watch. I liked the location LA shots that show the city at a different time and place.
