Member AlbertV Posted December 13, 2007 Member Share Posted December 13, 2007 Does anyone know that on the DVD market, there are two movies with the name "King of the Kickboxers 2"??? There's of course, American Shaolin, which everyone knows was an awesome action film with stage actor Reese Madigan playing the titular character. A few years ago on EBay, I bought a DVD that was called "King of the Kickboxers 2" with Loren Avedon. The real name of the movie in question??? A 1992 B-movie Avedon starred in called Fighting Spirit. He plays a young man who learns that his best friend had been killed by a ruthless organization who promote illegal street fights. He talks to his dead friend's spirit and trains in martial arts from a former member of the organization and once he completes his training, he takes on the organization. Ridiculous acting, but some of the action was decent, done by someone named "Chang Tao" (Not sure if this is the Shaw Brothers actor Chiang Tao). But definitely B-movie status!!!!

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted December 14, 2007 Member Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sounds like a cheese filled classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 14, 2007 Author Member Share Posted December 14, 2007 It definitely is a cheese filled classic...even has a cheesy theme song...something that sounds like Air Supply. And if you ask me, if you see the movie, Loren was definitely the best fighter in the whole film. Even the villain, former kickboxer Ned Hourani looked pretty bad compared to Loren.
