Maybe you're too young to remember Kickboxer, the 1989 martial arts movie where Jean-Claude Van Damme learns Muay Thai in a training montage, kicks down a banana tree, and dances in a way that suggests his ballet training was all for naught. Even as someone who wasted a good chunk of my life watching martial arts movies, I only just learned that Kickboxer, er, kicked off a series that led to four sequels, a reboot, and a sequel to said reboot. And next: a videogame.
Force Multiplier Studios has the rights to games based on the Kickboxer cinematic universe, and is making a game it says "will combine the rich narrative of Kickboxer with kinetic martial arts action to deliver an intense, high-octane brawler, and feature iconic characters and locations from the franchise".
