IJW: Kickboxer (1989)

So I enjoy Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, but there’s still a lot of hits that I haven’t seen, but I was able to get one off of my list and that is kickboxer from 1989. I really liked this movie and I thought it was a great watch.

I thought the performances, especially from Van Damme were really good to watch, but I also liked the action and the story. The thing I like most of all though was the music. It had a great mix of instrumental and non-instrumental.

There aren’t any real negatives in my watch so that’s a good thing. I would put the second in my Van Damme movies behind bloodsport

Rating-4.5/5
