Description of this Kickboxer Poster
Kickboxer is a 1989 American martial arts film directed by David Worth and starring Jean-Claude van Damme. Former world kickboxing champion Dennis Alexio also stars. The film spawned several sequels.
Kurt Sloane is the younger brother and cornerman of Eric Sloane, the world heavyweight kickboxing champion. After another successful title defense, Eric is pressured by the media to travel to Thailand, where kickboxing originated, to further cement his legacy. As a result, Eric and Kurt travel to Bangkok to face Tong “The Tiger” Po, Thailand’s best undefeated fighter. Eric is extremely confident, but Kurt is apprehensive after watching Tong Po kick a concrete pillar to prepare for the fight. He begs Eric not to fight, but Eric dismisses any concerns.
Tong Po dominates Eric in the first round with his superior strength and knowledge of the unorthodox rules of Thai kickboxing. Between rounds, Kurt once again begs Eric to stop, but Eric refuses to give up and takes a sound beating in the second round. Kurt throws in the towel, but Tong Po throws it out of the ring and continues his attack. He viciously elbows Eric in the back, immobilizing him, and then rips off Eric’s world championship belt. Kurt retrieves the belt and leaves with his brother on a stretcher, but the fight officials leave them on the street. Winston Taylor, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, agrees to help by driving them to the hospital. Following Tong Po’s brutal attack, Eric is paralyzed from the waist down and will never walk again.
An enraged Kurt vows to avenge his brother. He looks for a trainer to teach him Muay Thai, but the local fighters mock him and chase him out of the gym. Eventually, Taylor tells him about Xian Chow, a famous Muay Thai fighter living in a remote part of Thailand. Before introducing him to Xian, Taylor insists that Kurt go drinking with him. During their stay at a go-go bar, Taylor confides in Kurt, implying that he let a friend die during the Vietnam War, and therefore believes he owes it to his memory to help Kurt.
Although reluctant at first, Xian agrees to train Kurt after having him pick up some supplies from his niece, Mylee. While at his store, Kurt stops thugs sent by Freddy Li—a high-ranking member of a racketeering organization and Tong Po’s manager—from stealing Mylee’s money. While training, Kurt drunkenly defeats some of Freddy Li’s thugs in a barroom brawl orchestrated by Xian, who convinces Freddy Li to arrange a preliminary match between Kurt and another young fighter. Kurt is victorious and wins a match against Tong Po. It is decided that they will fight the “old fashioned way”: both fighters wrap their hands in hemp rope, which is then coated in resin and dipped in broken glass to make deadly weapons.
Freddy Li arranges to have the fight fixed and borrows $1 million from Thai crime syndicate boss Tao Liu to bet on Tong Po. Several days before the match, Mylee is beaten and raped by Tong Po, while Eric is kidnapped so Freddy Li can blackmail Kurt into losing the fight. Xian’s dog, Kiki, is also stabbed during the ambush. As Taylor prepares to take Kiki to the city for treatment, Mylee confesses her rape and reveals that she hasn’t told Kurt, insisting that her mind must be clear for the fight against Tong Po. To this end, she begs Taylor for help in finding Eric, but he is reluctant to upset Freddy Li. To save his brother’s life, Kurt is ordered by Freddy Li to go the distance with Tong Po before losing the fight. He endures torture, but Xian and Taylor are able to locate Eric and save him. Before the final round, Eric arrives with Xian and Taylor. He is booed by the crowd and gives Kurt a thumbs-up before starting a chant of “Nack Suk Cao” (White Warrior). With Eric now out of danger, Kurt has Mylee cut the hemp rope from his hands before viciously beating Tong Po, finally defeating him. After punching Freddy Li in the face for good measure, Kurt celebrates his victory with his brother and friends.
