KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE and RETALIATION

[surgeyou1]

I kinda of assumed that when the title says "GSP to STAR...".

Stupid title. If he's not the lead then he's not "Starring". I doubt he will play the bad guy so if he plays the brother, that's almost a cameo role.

His role is as a supporting player, alongside pro wrestler and onetime MMA fighter Dave Bautista. The role made famous by Van Damme will be played by stunt man and martial artist Alain Moussi, in his debut as a leading man.

Kickboxer...via 50-45. I heard movie will be full 25 minute long

 

[JustBleedUFC**]

Bautista is a terrible actor

 

[tenniswhiz]

I thought they only remade good movies, not crappy ones.

Would rather they did an Enter the Ninja remake. That was a fine movie.

Generic stuntman as lead, not GSP... so, the plan is to ruin the movie before its made, great.

I hope GSP does well. I don't want him to become known as an unintentionally funny martial arts B-movie star.

Then Hughes can say

 

[UK_MMA]

hopefully GSP brings some hilarity to the movie like he did in Captain America ...

Is that Verne Troyer?

I'm depressed by the fact that instead of a cool 80s tune and the awesome score by Paul Hertzog, we'll get some gangsta hood rap and hip hop shit, maybe some emo music too.

This is a classic. I love 80's movie soundtracks, got all the best ones. I love hip hop too, but this new breed jiggy club stuff is shit

GSP doing these movies and making Hollywood money all while NOT getting punched in the face along with a recent ACL tear pretty much seals the deal on his retirement.

I dunno about that, a lot of fighters have that competitive thirst that needs to be quenched

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Sounds terrible already.

I think GSP enjoyed training more than he actually liked competing

 

[dsdoubled]

Dark Place GSP.

AWESOME. So friggin awesome. Imagine GSP effortlessly breaking necks with his bare hands, headbutt KOin his nicer self, slugging Jack Daniels straight and smacking his GF around? Certainly dark place GSP.

millions of dollars choreographed fighting > quenching thirst with fists to one's face for locker room checks

So GSP is playing JCVD's role?

 

[kpt018]

Fuck all these shitty remakes and reboots.

Yeah agreed. It's bad enough they remake classic films, but why remake these cult following movies?

Sort of on topic, I loved Kickboxer as a kid (loved Bloodsport too, but who didn't?). As an adult who now trains Muay Thai, I fucking hate it! I can't get past the fact that JCVD trains "Muay Thai" which is not Muay Thai, then uses Karate to beat Tong Po. Ugh.

 

[Alexandergreat3]

Would have preferred Bloodsport but this is a start.

Now they need to get Wanderlei Silva to play Tong Po.

Lol excellent idea!

There gets to be a point however where you proved what you want in your sport and it's okay to leave. I remember seeing an interview with Pierre about how he likes some type of science (anthropology maybe) and once he is done fighting, he will be perfectly happy doing other things.

 

[Lemmy]

Would have preferred Bloodsport but this is a start.

101% agree.

 

[Redguard]

Fucking bullshit. Avoid this movie at all costs. This is an insult to JCVD. Fuck Hollywood for even thinking of this shit.
