Movies like Kickboxer

Bloodsport, also starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, is a foundational film in the martial arts genre, with its plot centered around an underground, full-contact fighting tournament called the Kumite. Fans of Kickboxer will appreciate Van Damme's intense fight scenes and the high stakes competition.

Another Steven Seagal classic, Under Siege sets the action aboard a U.S. Navy battleship, with Seagal playing a former Navy SEAL who uses his martial arts expertise to thwart terrorists. The close combat scenes and the one-man-army trope echo the excitement found in Kickboxer.

In Lionheart, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a French Legionnaire who deserts his post to attend to family troubles, eventually entering the world of underground fighting to support his brother’s family. The movie's hand-to-hand combat scenes and Van Damme's performance makes it a hit for Kickboxer fans.

Above the Law is Steven Seagal's debut film, where he plays a tough cop who is also an Aikido expert. Not only does it deliver some hard-hitting action sequences, but its 'one man against the odds' story is similar to the narrative of Kickboxer.

Hard to Kill features Steven Seagal as a police detective left for dead who embarks on a path of revenge after awakening from a coma. The thrilling action and the protagonist's fight for justice will resonate with fans of the vengeance-fueled narrative in Kickboxer.

Best of the Best is a martial arts film that follows a team of American fighters competing in a Taekwondo tournament against a formidable Korean team. Like Kickboxer, it features strong themes of national pride, personal growth, and high-flying martial arts action.

American Ninja follows the story of an amnesiac U.S. soldier with formidable martial arts skills, fighting against a conspiracy of corrupt military men and ninjas. The blend of martial arts with military themes should be a draw for fans of Kickboxer.
