One of my favourite films of all time. Beautiful setting, great music, and also some deep themes, storyline wise, i dont want to ruin it for you, but the story line is that jean claude van damme's brother takes part in a kickboxing match in bancox and gets beaten up so badly, he may never be able to walk again. Van Damme seeks revenge and puts everything on the line. This film has action, romance, deep and spiritual music and also chessy music (when van damme goes into the strip club) maybe not a family movie, but great for watching with friends or alone (like me!). The first time i watched this movie i was 13 years old, it had a deep impact on me and inspired me to do kickboxing, i am now 19 years old and still i find this movie entertaining, and thats something i cant say for other films.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" in the top right of the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
