5. Kickboxer (1989)

When kickboxing champ, Eric Sloane, gets brutally taken down by ruthless fighter, Tong Po, his younger brother Kurt (Jean-Claude Van Damme) steps up for revenge. Directed by Mark DiSalle and David Worth in 1989, this classic martial arts flick follows Kurt’s grueling training in Thailand, turning him from a rookie into a Muay Thai powerhouse. Made on a $2.7 million budget, it punched its way to over $50 million worldwide. Packed with epic training montages and high-kicking action, it’s peak ’80s fight-film fun.
