KICKBOXER'S TEARS is essentially the Hong Kong version of the Van Damme vehicle, and a hoot it is too. It begins off with Jackie's favourite bodyguard Ken Lo playing a kickboxer who tackles the awesome Billy Chow in the ring, except that dirty tactics end in tragedy. The focus then shifts to Moon Lee who goes on a mission of revenge. The budget is low but the action plentiful, particularly in the second half which wows with a series of energetic spectacles. Yukashi Oshima is a consistently welcome presence in such films and she wows in her brief fight scenes here, and the climax in particular is delightfully over the top.
