Kickboxer 2


Kickboxeralso known as KickboxerThe Road Back is a 1991 American martial arts film directed by Albert Pyun and written by David S. Goyer. It is the first sequel to the 1989 film Kickboxer, and stars Sasha Mitchell in the role of David Sloane, the brother of Kickboxer s lead character Kurt, portrayed by JeanClaude Van Damme.

While recovering in the hospital, Sloane is visited by Xian Chow Chan, who trained his brother Kurt in Thailand. Though David initially wants nothing to do with him, he finally relents and allows Xian to nurse him back to health. Meanwhile, one of Sloanes most promising students has secured a championship bout and invites Sloane to watch the fight. However, the champion is unexpectedly replaced by Po, who brutalizes the young man and kills him in the ring. Now with no other recourse, Sloane is forced to accept Pos challenge. In a bloody bout reminiscent of the ancient way of fighting in Thailand, Sloane exacts his revenge and defeats his rival. He then vents his frustration on Sanga and soon gets his gym back.Kings Road Entertainment president, Stephen Friedman, had wanted to bring Van Damme back for the sequel, but the cost was too high for the budget. David S. Goyer was hired to write the sequel. Director Albert Pyun pushed for the original Tong Po actor, Michel Qissi, to return. To make sure realism would be captured in the kickboxing fights, he hired Jimmy Nickerson as fight coordinator. Pyun met with several well known martial arts teachers before deciding on Dan Inosanto, who was trained by Bruce Lee. Through a discussion during a meeting between Pyun and him, Inosanto suggested Benny The Jet Urquidez who was a well regarded pioneer of full contact kickboxing. Pyun met with Urquidez and Mitchell and the deal was made for Urquidez to train and coach Mitchell. Pyun wanted Sashas approach to full contact to be similar to Urquidezs. ........
