Member mpm74 Posted November 14, 2015 Member Share Posted November 14, 2015 Ready for this? A sequel to the soon-to-be released Kickboxer: Vengeance, titled Kickboxer: Retaliation, has been officially announced. There’s no word if John Stockwell (In the Blood) is returning to the director’s chair, but Alain Moussi is definitely reprising his role as Kurt Sloan. Also returning is writer/producer of Kickboxer: Vengeance, Dimitri Logothetis (Wings of the Dragon), who’ll most-likely be taking on the same duties. There’s also some speculation that UFC Champ Fabrício Werdum is attached. And who knows, maybe this time around, Tony Jaa and Scott Adkins may participate?

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 14, 2015 Member Share Posted November 14, 2015 Um, isn't this a bit premature? I understand being hopeful and I want to movie to be good, but I'm thinking the studios are jumping the gun here and counting their chickens before they hatch. And when that happens, something usually dies.Mmm-mmm. I love chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the term Kickboxer (new and old) already bring a franchise, it's a safe bet that their financial forecast is pretty strong. Plus, they already have the MMA crowd with the addition of another UFC Champ in sequel's title. Something tells me that both films will be straight-to-video (Limited theatrical release and iTunes premiers don't count). Maybe, MAYBE, the Kickboxer: Vengeance will go theatrical, but only because of Bautista's current star power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted January 9, 2017 Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Since we lost the posts, here is the update for the newcomers: Dimitri Logothetis directed and wrote the sequel, which unlike the original saga, will bring back Kurt Sloane, once again played by Alain Moussi and Master Durand, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme. The official synopsis: "Kickboxer: Retaliation continues where Kickboxer: Vengeance left off. It has now been 12 months since Kurt Sloan left Thailand vowing never to return. We pickup the story in a crowded sports arena with cheering fans where Kurt is now in a new battle – A title bout for the MMA World Championship title. When Kurt returns back to the locker room he is met by a familiar face along with, what we are led to believe to be two US marshals who charge Kurt with a crime and is extradited back to Thailand in an illegal manner. At some point during the journey, Kurt is sedated and later wakes up in a dingy cell at an infamous prison in Bangkok, Thailand. Kurt soon meets the masterminds behind his abduction and is told he needs to fight a new formidable foe named Mongkut, who is a beast of a man, standing at 6'8" and weighing in around 400 lbs of solid muscle. This is a spectacle they know will bring in millions. Kurt is offered 2 million dollars to fight or face a life term behind bars, but Kurt is steadfast and just wants to go home…He will not put a price on human life for the pleasure of others. A bounty is placed on Kurt's head, prompting other prisoners to take shots to help coerce him to fight, however, Kurt can certainly hold his own and is not phased at all by any of this , however, eventually, under duress, he is forced to fight. Kurt does not fully comprehend the challenge he has ahead of him until he encounters the pure size and strength of the man named Mongkut. Through much pain and pure determination, Kurt is put through some of the most enduring training he has ever experienced to prepare him for the fight for his life." Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, known for his role as Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on Game of Thrones plays Mongkut. Sara Malakul Lane returns as Kurt's love interest Liu and Sam Medina returns as Crawford. UFC fighters Fabricio Werdum and Roy "Big Country" Nelson, strongman Brian Shaw, kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven, soccer star Ronaldinho, and boxing legend Mike Tyson all co-star along with Christopher Lambert as Thomas Moore, the set-up man behind the big match. Fight choreography this time is done by Jean-Francois LaChappelle and Alain Moussi. Set & Press Conference pics: Kurt vs. Mongkut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted March 12, 2017 Member Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks for posting the trailer @kingofkungfu2002. The trialer looks really good, spotted some brief nunchaku action in there. Christopher Lambert looks and sounds the part as the movies mian villian.

This was beofre reading your post here, now the link I posted has been removed too. Still haven't got round to watching the re-make yet, but the sequel looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Moderator Karlos Posted March 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2017 Kickboxer Vengeance is a lot of fun, a really good flick - well worth your time. Had no idea the trailer for Retaliation was a leaked one - wonder who did it? Hope it pops back up soon - film looks excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 8, 2017 Member Share Posted May 8, 2017 New poster featuring cast members has popped up on their new official Facebook page. And the plan is for the film to be released in September (like Vengeance did just last year) https://www.facebook.com/KickboxerRetaliationOfficial/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted May 9, 2017 Member Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hmmm...the IMDb page for this says Demetri Logothetis is the director of the movie, but the trailer credits say "Alan Smithy". I liked the first one well enough. This looks like more of the same, so I'm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even list cast members "John Doe", "Jane Doe", and "Jim Doe" as The Loved One. But yes, Dimitri Logothetis is the director of this tone. But for its production value, I agree, it does look good plus the cast of fighters in the film (Tyson, Werdum, Big Country, Renato Sobral, Wanderlei Silva, Rico Verhoeven, James Bennett to name a few) and strongmen Brian Shaw and Hafthor Bjornsson may make this interesting. Read a rumor that Tyson will return for Kickboxer: Armageddon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted May 9, 2017 Member Share Posted May 9, 2017 Not got round to posting my thoughts on the first movie yet, but lets just say I enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing Christopher Lambert's performance as the main villian. Just hope they don't decide to dub Jean Claude Van Damme's character again.

Member andy338 Posted May 10, 2017 Member Share Posted May 10, 2017 I liked the first movie although not enough to buy it (I rented it from PS Network) and the trailer for Retaliation has definitely got me looking forward to how they will develop the series with better characters and hopefully lots of great fights. I'll certainly be watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member CT KID Posted May 12, 2017 Member Share Posted May 12, 2017 I liked the first one too and it was good to see Van Damme transition to the mentor role now that he's gotten older. He's still got that goofy charisma and likability. Here's hoping the sequel will be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 31, 2017 Member Share Posted May 31, 2017 Some new images popped up on the official Facebook page for the film. Kurt Sloane (Alain Moussi) Mongkut (Hafthor Bjornsson) Briggs (Mike Tyson) Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) I'm waiting for confirmation but while the page says it will come out in September, I am guessing RLJ Entertainment will be the distributors (since they released Kickboxer: Vengeance), but I'm waiting for confirmation on that.
