And any attempt to draw or doodle them looks and feels awful. So I tried painting, usually works. Ref was a phone photo I took of a random screenshot of the Kickboxer movie
unlabelledView post →Action movie date night turns weird when Makoto and Ren find a Girls Gone Wild-style DVD starring Sae, Tae, and Kawakami. Also Kickboxer Robocop is a real movie. I didn't make that bit up. The scars are real. www.hentai-foundry.com/stories/user... archiveofourown.org/works/92959596

unlabelledView post →Feels like this is getting slept on so a heads up that Lionsgate dropped a 3 disc KICKBOXER 4K/BD set today that features two cuts of the film and a bunch of new and archival extras. Frustratingly appears to be an Amazon exclusive (making my first preorder there in years) and is limited.
unlabelledView post →True, PRAYER OF THE ROLLERBOYS is about Corey Haim rollerblading. But it's from the director of KICKBOXER 3 and the writer of POINT BREAK and it is unfortunately pretty correct about a future of white nationalist personality cults.

unlabelledView post →You can't get hold of it ANYWHERE, but it's up on Youtube. If you like a good-bad movie, please enjoy the untold pleasures found within "Fatal Deviation". It's "Kickboxer" meets "Father Ted". It's NOT a comedy. 😆 #movies #mma #90s #action #kungfu #martialarts www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPne...

unlabelledView post →I haven't even started on his 90's Kickboxer flicks. And yes, ROBO-KICKBOXER (aka RINGS UNTOUCHABLE) is a real film, and on YouTube.
unlabelledView post →I think the absolute dumbest movie I enjoy is Kickboxer, but I'll have to think about my favorite less dumb one
unlabelledView post →the fight in Kickboxer where JCVD's brother gets his shit rocked in might be the funniest thing put to film
unlabelledView post →REFLECTION ON A DEAD DIAMOND: The first film I’ve seen by these filmmakers. Very frenetic and evocative. Like a James Bond / Diabolik existential trip. Filmmakers said their diamond visuals were inspired by JCVD’s glass-rolled gloves in KICKBOXER! #FantasticFest
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Kickboxer: Vengeance. Loved this movie so much I ordered the Blu Ray and thought I'd give it a watch! This movie rules so much.
unlabelledView post →When I watch a movie I should document whether or not it's gay. Kickboxer 2 is gay.
unlabelledView post →The director here did a few Kickboxer sequels, a recent Nic Cage movie JIU-JITSU, and a movie I’ve been circling for #CultShelf : his first directorial effort, PRETTY SMART. #Riffotronic

unlabelledView post →I’m on a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie marathon and currently watching Kickboxer. He’s so gorgeous but what really sets him apart from all the action movie actors of the 80s is that he wasn’t afraid to queen out a little
unlabelledView post →This movie is called Robo-Kickboxer - Power of Justice. This is the 1st out of 2 scenes where the Robo-Kickboxer appears and the rest of the movie is about a Filipino guy trying to escape from jail. The Robo-Kickboxer appears again in the last 3 minutes of the movie.

After Jean-Claude Van Damme’s breakout film Bloodsport (1988) which was quickly followed by popular hits like Cyborg (1989) and Kickboxer (1989),
unlabelledView post →Giving my computer viruses no one has seen since 1998 just to try and watch a movie called Lingerie Kickboxer.
unlabelledView post →Watched Kickboxer 2. Man, there was a lot of kicking in this movie. #film
unlabelledView post →Kickboxer with van damme is another great example of a movie like this. JCVD's brother gets paralyzed, his girlfriend gets raped, his dog gets killed, but in the end he wins a kickboxing fight against the guy that did all those things.
unlabelledView post →#Rewatched Kickboxer Vengeance. Really loved this first time round, bought the Blu, and still in love with this movie. An even better remake of the original, with JCVD now taking the mentor role and beating some sense into student Alian Moussi here.
unlabelledView post →#SportsMovieMadness #MovieChallenge Day 7: Movie featuring a Combat Sport Kickboxer (1989) youtu.be/H6Yxw4gxfpI?...
unlabelledView post →What if the series ends like the beginning of a zombie movie only he wakes up in the empty hospital and everyone outside has become a kickboxer. Cut to end title card: KICKBOXER EVERLASTING.
unlabelledView post →I’m sorry to tell you this, but that’s actually the film Kickboxer #HATM LOL
unlabelledView post →Why use boxing gloves? Remember the movie "Kickboxer" where they dip their cloth bound hands in glue and then cover them in glass? I won't be satisfied until they each emulate that scene.
unlabelledView post →Sorry for being THAT GUY but the Van Damme movie with the resin and broken glass was Kickboxer. Sorry.
unlabelledView post →KICKBOXER (1989) bc it's the best KICKBOXER movie. BLOOD HEAT (2002) bc it's the film that lit my fuse as a collector. MIRACLES (1989) bc it's Jackie Chan's best work. THE CITY OF VIOLENCE (2006) bc it has all the spin-kicks. AZUMI (2003) bc it gives RUROUNI KENSHIN (2012) a run for its money.
unlabelledView post →Another great packaging job by Lionsgate. Kickboxer 4K steelbook with a lenticular cover that makes it look like Van Damme in kicking the movie title apart.
unlabelledView post →"Fatal Deviation" is a low budget Irish action film, made in a tiny village with the locals as extras. The star is impressive martial-artists and (later on) successful Hollywood fight choreographer/stuntman James Bennett. It's "Kickboxer" meets "Father Ted" and it's AMAZING! #movies #bestofbad
unlabelledView post →My #beyondfriday trailer is for another Mark Dacascos movie. "Kickboxer 5: The Redemption" is a solidly executed straight to video movie. Dacascos is a fine action lead and it gets a lot of milage out of it's South African setting. youtu.be/yKUnULNyh0Y?...
unlabelledView post →Watched Kickboxer (1989) tonight. Haven't seen it before, it was a pretty silly and dopey movie until they needed to further prove that the bad guys were bad guys. Still a fun movie overall though. Was expecting more kickboxing in Kickboxer, but instead it was a training montage with fun characters.
unlabelledView post →I loved the Kickboxer movie as a kid, but it’s so disinterested in figuring out how to make a fun representation of muay thai. They seem to just think it’s Thai karate. Anyway…watch the Ong Bak movies, they’re a lot of fun and he saves an elephant in one.
unlabelledView post →3: Bea (Pokemon) Give her that one scene Van Damme had in the movie Kickboxer. ...look it up.
unlabelledView post →Dunno about the rest of you but I can't wait to fall asleep to Dimitri Logothetis's third Kickboxer movie. I could use the rest. 🥴
unlabelledView post →My favorite thing about the third Kickboxer movie is that there's almost no kickboxing in it.

unlabelledView post →To give you a hint how prolific Pyun was, in the year this came out he also did the sequel to KICKBOXER and the weird fight to the death movie BLOODMATCH. #CultShelf
unlabelledView post →Future #Podcast Idea: "Kickboxer: Vengeance" The sixth entry in the "Kickboxer" series also serves as a reboot, emulating the first movie quite a bit. One of those unique circumstances that makes it a prime candidate for future coverage! Director: John Stockwell Release: 2016 #moviesky #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Kickboxer is not the best JCVD movie but it's also far from the worst, and the dance bit in context is *intentionally* hilarious and amazing and I love it. Real movie stars aren't afraid of unironically letting their characters be silly sometimes. youtu.be/XxQEMBfa8Qo?...
unlabelledView post →Like, I think they do, but I don't think they actually do...I tried pitching Bloodsport and Kickboxer to my prof, but he felt that bloodsports don't really factor in to sports movies. But like...I really do think that Rollerball is a sports movie. It's like Slap Shot, but like, with James Caan
unlabelledView post →It was a nice day to minimize my time on social media and find some cool stuff at HPB as well as grabbing shabu-shabu lunch and KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE with an old friend. (Pictured are THE ISLAND Blu-ray, KICKBOXER 5-movie DVD set, the 1980 neo-noir UNION CITY, and THE WESTERNERS interview book)
unlabelledView post →There was kicking. There was boxing. Promise made, promise kept. #Kickboxer #Filmsky
unlabelledView post →Unexpectedly great double feature. The Boxer’s Omen is the EXACT same movie as Kickboxer only it takes this mid film b-movie Jodorowsky-esque spirit war side quest.
unlabelledView post →i was going to save this for when/if you watched KICKBOXER but if we're talking famous splits
unlabelledView post →Kickboxer 2 is practically a body horror movie.
unlabelledView post →Storm vs. May = Kickboxer but All About Eve, and maybe also a Fulci movie #AEWRevolution
unlabelledView post →If you're going to name your movie "Kickboxer: Armageddon," it had better be about Jean-Claude Van Damme having to fight a comet headed for Earth.

The fighter's movements in the intro of the game Full Contact (1991) were copied from the movie Kickboxer (1989) with Jean-Claude Van Damme! 🥋 I made a video to show the rotoscoping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnEKWm_dLGM 2/2 #FullContact #Team17 #Retrogaming #Kickboxer #JCVanDamme #Rotoscoping
