Well Go USA
Entertainment
presents
Kickboxer Retaliation
Directed by Dimitri Logothetis
USA, 2018, 110 minutes
Starring Alain Moussi, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert,
Mike Tyson, Sara Malakul Lane, Jessica Jann, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson,
Steven Swadling, and Sam Medina 

In Theaters & On Demand January 26th 

Okay, this film is not specifically Asian, but it is a martial arts action flick, and so it's probably of interest to many AsianCineFest readers. It's a sequel to Kickboxer Vengeance (2016), which was directed by John Stockwell. (Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that film, so have nothing further to say about it.)

Synopsis:
One year after finding vengeance for his murdered brother, MMA champion Kurt Sloane finds himself back in Thailand kidnapped and imprisoned there by a powerful gangster (Christopher Lambert). His only shot at freedom is to win an underground death match against a 400lb killer enhanced with state - of the -art drugs (Game of Thrones' Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson). To make it out alive, he seeks training unlike anything he’s ever endured, with the help of the legendary Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and fellow prisoner Briggs (Mike Tyson).
