Great Film overall
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
WTF!Why did they ever make another Kickboxer without Van Damme? 2 and 3 were OK, but still they still don't compare at all with the first. Terrible fighting scenes.They should of left it alone after the first.Making 2-3-4-5 was very disrespectful to the original.(A CLASSIC)I think Kickboxer 4 just made Tong Po look so stupid and weak.In the original he lost to Van Damme but he still was a bad mofo.In 2 and 4 they made him like look an amateur.I know Van Damme ain't a great actor but his action scenes make up for that.Sasha Mitchell on the other hand is a terrible actor(acting scenes and fighting scenes)If your gonna make a sequel u better make it better then the first if not don't make it all.
this is the most stupid movie i have ever seen. why would you take a successful movie series and make a sequel featuring no one from the cast of the other movies and give it a storyline that completely has nothing to do with the last four movies. i was totally appalled by this movie and only finished watching it because i was a kickboxer movie fan. to my belief id guess they only called it kickboxer five to bring attention to this horrible film. if you read this comment do not buy this terrible sequel. its a disgrace to the rest of the kickboxing films and in my opinion kickerboxer 5 should be removed from the title leaving it to be called only the redemption.
The plot has Mr Negal, a man more dangerous than he appears assassinating anyone that doesn't join his federation. David Sloan ends one up being one of them and not played by Sasha Mitchell this time.I didn't enjoy the fight scenes that much. The 1st one (as short as it was) and the last one were the only fights fun to watch.This isn't a bad movie as the characters are pretty interesting. The plots creative. Marc Dacascos does a great job.It seemed they just included David Sloan's death to connect to the franchise. Average "redemption" film (no pun intended) but as a kickboxer film its just a cash in.
Not as good as the first Kickboxer movie but better than all the other ones. I recommend this movie if you like the Kickboxers movies because it is a good movie and Mark Dacascos is pretty good in the movie and it is also a good martial arts movie.
