Kickboxer remake trailer lands online. Watch the full promo for Kickboxer: Vengeance below.

The Kickboxer remake trailer arrives ahead of the film’s debut in September.

The Kickboxer remake trailer has arrived online ahead of its debut at this week’s Fantastia Film Festival over in Canada. The film’s full title is Kickboxer: Vengeance, and will arrive in cinemas later this year.

The great news is that Jean Claude Van Damme is present, alongside fellow cast members Alain Moussi, Dave Bautista, Gina Carano, Georges St-Pierre and Cain Velasquez. John Stockwell is directing the film, which is set to arrive in September.

Here’s the plot.

Eric and Kurt Sloane are the descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists. Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric’s shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion. Against Kurt’s concerns, Eric accepts a paid offer and travels to Thailand to challenge the Muay Thai champion Tong Po and fails with dire consequences. Kurt sets out for revenge. He trains with his brother’s mentor, Durand, for a Muay Thai fight against the merciless champion, Tong Po. Durand first thinks Kurt is impossible to train, but through a series of spiritual exercises and tests, Durand discovers that Kurt has a deeper strength that will carry him through his final showdown with Tong Po.

Kickboxer was a huge hit for Van Damme back in at the height of his career in 1989. The film took a little under $15 million at the box-office from a budget of $2.7 million, but found a huge audience on video. It’s revised take was valued at around $50 million.

A sequel to the film is already on the cards even though this movie has not even seen a cinema as yet. As we said above, this film will be heading to Fantasia, which we’re covering throughout the week over here. We will attempt to bring you a review as soon as we possibly can.
