One year after the events of "Kickboxer: Vengeance", Kurt Sloan has vowed never to return to Thailand. However, while gearing up for a MMA title shot, he finds himself sedated and forced back into Thailand, this time in prison. He is there because the ones responsible want him to face a 6'8" 400 lbs. beast named Mongkut and in return for the fight, Kurt will get two million dollars and his freedom back. Kurt at first refuses, in which a bounty is placed on his head as a way to force him to face Mongkut. Kurt soon learns he will have no other choice and will undergo his most rigorous training yet under some unexpected mentors in order to face Mongkut in hopes to regain his freedom.

Excellent but underrated film

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Keep it simple, they certainly did when making this one. The crazy way this one starts is a real head scratcher but once we get into the movie proper its just a cut and paste plot at best. But that said, what do really expect its kick boxer 6 for crying out loud.Some great cameos for all as fight fans but again they just strangley disappear. I was pleasantly surprised by Christopher Lambert. Maybe not at his best but after meeting him last year and seeing a very tired Highlander it was good to see some sparkle back in his eyes.JCVD lines up again and many may question why but look no further then his producer credit. This one certainly won't challenge you but it alao won't leave you bored. Plenty of action with some above average fight choreography will keep you satisfied.

I'm afraid that KICKBOXER: RETALIATION didn't enthrall me as it did some other reviewers on this site. I found it something to a chore to watch and a step down from the previous flick, KICKBOXER: VENGEANCE. It tells the same old story once again, but at a near two hour running time it goes on a bit too long and there's some cheesy overacting to contend with. Not that the story matters in an action film, but the action is somewhat sub-standard too. The film suffers from awfully cheesy direction and the CGI train in the first sequence tells you everything you need to know. Some of the actor's moves are okay but the fight choreography isn't really all that special. What this film does have going for it are a number of B-movie stars making an appearance. Van Damme returns as mentor and is blind this time around, while Mike Tyson shows up as a prison fighter and is great value. Christopher Lambert surprisingly appears as the villain but has very little to do other than sit around and make wisecracks. The hulking Hafpor Julius Bjornsson, of GAME OF THRONES fame, is the big bad guy and solid enough, but after a long wait the extended fight climax is only so-so.

I think that you either like or don't like this type of movie, there is no in-between, you only have to look at the reviews to see that. It was good to see JCVD on good form, Mike Tyson was good in the fight scenes (as you would expect) but Alain Moussi was excellent and an amazing array of martial art skills on display was amazing and the brutal choreography was exceedingly well executed. I have never watched Game of Thrones (gasp) but as I understand it the character known as Mountain or Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson was impressive and the fight between them was fantastic. When you think, whilst watching an action movie that no-one can take that sort of punches, you get the feel that Mongkut can and more. Not a great movie but a good movie and in this genre good is high praise indeed when it's done well.

None stop martial arts. Great personalities - JCVD, Tyson, Werdum, Ronaldino, Nelson and so many more. But the best is Alain Moussi doing all the fight moves and stunts. One after the other the fight scenes are intelligent and credible. The last 25 minutes is breathtaking. It is a must see for all the action fans.
