Console best movie i've ever seen.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

vchimpanzee For reasons explained in my review of "Kickboxer 2: The Road Back", I STILL haven't seen the first one.In a wooded area outside Rio de Janeiro,a beautiful girl in a dress that doesn't cover much is being chased by a man who wants to kill her.Meanwhile, kickboxing champ David Sloan and his trainer Xian are on a plane to Rio as David is about to face Argentinian champ Martine.And there is nice music in Frank Lane's restaurant, where it appears wealthy men are being set up with hookers.And where do the hookers come from? There is a large group of young girls in a room, who are shown what could happen to them. Remember the girl who was being chased?In Rio, Marcos and his sister Isabella work together to steal the camera David and Xian brought with them. David chases Marcos and discovers he is one of a large group of kids who are basically homeless, though their shelter is an unfinished hotel. David and Marcos become friends, and David and Xian try to keep Marcos and Isabella safe while working to improve their circumstances.Before the big fight, David participates in an exhibition to benefit the homeless. The people in charge of a fundraiser don't seem to get the irony of treating the very people they are helping as second-class citizens. In an exhibition, no one is supposed to get hurt. Martine doesn't seem to understand that and David gets involved when he sees how Martine's opponent is treated. They will get a rematch.Frank is Martine's manager and he becomes friends with David. But you know he wants something. In Frank's restaurant, there is more good music, this time with a female vocalist, and dancing. Marcos wants to set David up, and he too has a good time dancing. David gets to demonstrate his skills.Eventually, David and Xian must fight, using weapons rather than just their bodies. David also gets a new trainer who is quite brutal compared to Xian. And the outcome of the fight with Martine could have deadly consequences for one of the stars.This film is more of a comedy than the second one, and that's fine with me. Most of the scenes with David and Xian are funny, as are many scenes with Marcos. Even the villains give us some funny lines.In the first film, Sasha Mitchell didn't seem that much like Cody. But he either hadn't played the character yet or hadn't played him very long. In this film, the Cody personality is there from his first line. That's not to say he is always there. Sometimes Mitchell is quite serious and tough. But either playing Cody all those years reduced his IQ or David has been getting hit in the head too much. Since I liked Cody, it was okay with me.Dennis Chan isn't quite as good as in the second movie, in terms of quality, but he is a lot funnier.Noah Verduzco does a very good job as young Marcos, and unlike Joey from the first movie, a similar character, he gets to stay around for the entire movie.One of the villains is in charge of some kind of holiday celebration involving dancing by the locals. They're quite talented.A woman selling some kind of merchandise has only a couple of lines but is very convincing as a real Brazilian.And there's a great fall out of a window. To which David responds, "Now THAT's number seven!"The fighting is good, if you like that sort of thing. It's not nearly as bloody as in the second movie, and in fact this one had a TV-PG rating when I saw it while the other was TV-14. But don't be fooled: this still isn't family fare.It's entertaining enough.

Richard Latanville Kickboxer 3 takes David and Xian on a trip to Brazil for a tournament. The pair befriends a local boy and his sister who try and steal their camera. They team up and the boy show the pair Rio. While on there, they meet a ruthless player (Lane) who steals women and sell them to buyers, who has his eyes on the boy's sister and takes her. The 3 of them are on a quest to save the girl. But got caught, forcing the player (Lane) to put David Sloan on an extensive training to wear him down to gain inside info to bet his life work against Sloan for the Tournament.This movie is probably my favourite of the series. Everyone expect Kickboxer to be a fighting action film, but I think it leans more of an adventure film, it works really well. The Brazilian backdrop gives it some character. I would recommend for a family to see.

Sandcooler Because every character that was ever in this franchise is apparently dead (and they say squash is dangerous), we get this new bad guy named, of all things, Martine. Will he be able to stop the fury of cousin Cody and some random kid? Will the subplot ever provide any thrills? Well, no on both matters. You know you're not entertained when you wonder where Tong Po went. He wasn't that cool either but the new villains look like they were recruted at a local 7-11. The action scenes in this movie are really boring, especially the actual kick-boxing the title promises is really poorly executed. It's just so obvious the actors aren't touching each other. The writing is as lazy as it can get, our kickboxer even gets to give a moral lesson near the end. Even more sequels follow, I don't think I'll watch them.

bronsonskull72 Sasha Mitchell returns as David Sloan, this time he's in Rio fighting a bunch of thugs who run a white slavery ring, when Mitchell's friend is kidnapped he's forced to fight. Somehow Rick King has managed to make a even worse sequel, things go from stupid to completely ridiculous when main bad guy Richard Comar forces Sasha Mitchell to train. While the action scenes themselves are lame, As a whole K3 serves as a prime example of what killed Mitchell's promising career. Plus what does the subtitle Art Of War have to do with the movie anyway? 1/5 Matt Bronson
