While I was pretty indifferent towards the concept of a KICKBOXER remake, the involvement of Jean-Claude Van Damme finally tossed some interest my way. With the addition of Dave Bautista (SPECTRE) and Gina Carano (DEADPOOL), the movie automatically jumped onto my must-see radar. I don’t think any of the classic cheese of the original will make it into this iteration, but leave it up to Conan O’Brien to remind audiences of it and actually include Van Damme. Behold the classic Kickboxing dance scene re-imagined for a live audience.
The KICKBOXER remake will most likely hit sometime in 2015.
