I quite like Van Damme's original film about Frank Dux. Will be interesting what a modern production does with it. However seems the remake has nothing to do with Frank Dux, so one has to ask why is it a remake and not just another martial arts flick? Confused!

The original film was inspired by the life (or claims) of American martial artist Frank Dux, and focused on his quest to do his Ninjutsu master proud by winning the Kumite, a full-contact tournament that has been known to turn deadly. There is no mention of Dux or the Kumite in Relativity’s reboot.

I liked Van Damme's Bloodsport too. Not sure a remake is warranted, tho.

Why not remake Kickboxer? Out of ideas, Hollywood?

Yeah, the ponytail guy kicking the pillar before the match. Nobody is scarier than that guy.
Plus Van Damme...
No need to remake it ever.

The original is a classic so-bad-it's-good 80s flick...it'll be hard for them to turn anything out appreciable.
