1.0 out of 5 stars
Laugh out loud terrible, February 16, 2004
This review is from: Kickboxing Academy (DVD)
This film is absoulutely horrendous. The acting is of the lowest caliber that I have personally ever seen. My favorite part is when the dude is pointing a gun at the kids, and when they show his front, he's holding a machine gun, but when they show from behind, he's holding an uzi. WTF?!?! I think giving this film one star is giving it too much credit, but I couldn't give it negative infinity, so one will have to do. So terrible, it's hilarious. Anyone who has an opinion that isn't the same about this film, well congratulations, you are one of the few people on this planet whose opinion is wrong.

Cheap, Hilarious Trash, March 5, 2004
This review is from: Kickboxing Academy (DVD)
Wow, where should I begin with this review? Should I first express my amazement at how any of the other reviewers could actually be serious in giving this movie a positive review or should I describe every aspect of its putridity to the T?
Maybe I'll just start with the plot. To sum it up fairly simply, two martial arts academies spend most of the movie preparing their students for a kickboxing match against one another in the coming summer. One academy is cheap and tries to sabotage the other in an attempt to defeat them in the upcoming tournament and obtain documents which will give them the right to shut down that academy and expand their own with corporate sponsoring. I suppose the movie fluctuates in and out of laughably horrible moments of low-class acting with scenes of some of the "bad" students trying to pick on their rivals, and needless to say, the upcoming tournament is a complete joke. (A win is given for 2 solid blows??) This plot is completely unnecessary, it evokes no emotion other than disgust and anger for having watched the film, and it is pretty much a compilation of random events and endless (not to mention pointless) subplots that add up to nothing. (In case you actually care to know, the good guys win the tournament and ...save the day?? YAY!)
Though it may sound redundant based on what other reviews are saying, this movie seriously has the absolute worst acting that I have ever seen. There are times where you can be almost certain that some of the actors are looking away and reading their lines from the script. The fact that most of the dialouge is slow and has absolutely no emotion is evidence of this. I cannot even begin to understand why this movie was widely distributed, and for that matter I can't see who in their right mind would even consider making a movie with such a horrid plot. Nevertheless, the movie is good for lots of laughs, but if you were to watch this movie I'd recommend you watch it blindfolded. That way, you can laugh at all of the idiotic vocal blunders of these rent-a-actor's while saving yourself the anguish of actually having to see them and subject yourself to their embarrassingly ridiculous fight scenes.
