Here is another example of a classic synth-driven 80s track propelling the “action” in an 80s action flick. In this case, we have Kickboxer from Jean Claude Van Damme’s heyday.
Unfortunately, this movie is no Bloodsport or Timecop and pretty much just plain sucks. But it’s got Van Damme, it’s got the splits, it’s got double high kicks to the faces of approaching thugs. It could have been worse.
Now, I know this opening credits sequence is going to look suspicious. Maybe not the best way to set the stage for a martial arts bloodfest: two guys cruising down a river in Thailand, arm over each other’s shoulder, buying flowers. The other guy is supposed to be Van Damme’s brother, okay?
Leave Van Damme alone! You’re lucky he even performs for you bastards!
In the interest of saving what I can of Van Damme’s reputation, I am not going to include the clip of him dancing in a Thai bar from early in the movie. Leave Van Damme alone!
