Hosts Kev and Marco return for The Vintage Podcast to break down the 1989 film Kickboxer starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. They recap the plot—Kurt Sloan’s quest for revenge after his brother Eric is paralyzed by Thai champion Tong Po—and share production and casting trivia.

The episode discusses authenticity vs. Hollywood spectacle: Michel Qissi’s casting as Tong Po, Muay Thai training scenes, the iconic palm-tree conditioning, the famous bar fight, the final underground match with glass-wrapped hands, and the film’s soundtrack and set design.

They also cover Kickboxer’s impact on Van Damme’s career, its contribution to Muay Thai’s popularity in the West, the sequels, and why the movie remains a beloved piece of 80s action cheese.
