Kickboxer

Kickboxer (1989) is a martial arts action movie you can watch online on iFILM, built around Jean-Claude Van Damme and the brutal world of Muay Thai. American champion Eric Sloane travels to Thailand sure that Western fighters can beat the locals at their own game.

He is wrong. Thai champion Tong Po wins, then keeps hitting until Eric is paralyzed for life. That leaves Eric's younger brother Kurt alone and out for revenge. He talks his way into training under Xian, a hard old master whose methods feel closer to torture than coaching, and slowly turns himself into a weapon.

Directed by David Worth and Mark DiSalle, the film turned Van Damme into a genre headliner. The climax, fought with fists dipped in resin and broken glass, became required viewing for fans of fight cinema. Stream Kickboxer (1989) online on iFILM.
