KICKBOXER (Released to Theaters USA 1989)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì

Kickboxer—suitable—has Jean-Claude Van Damme. There are some nudity and suggestive themes that place it at the adult level. But, besides that, it has a suitable/okay storyline.

Maybe. The training scenes are done fairly well. The best part of the film is the 80s rock back ground music.
