4/10
Only good for a laugh.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers are here. Where can i begin with the the Kickboxer series. To start with there should not have been a series. The first kick boxer was a fun watch with Van Damme while the ones that followed were boring and for the most part stupid. They continued with yet another brother that also had no family resemblance to Van Damme or his movie role brother Eric (jerry curl) from the first film and dished out enough bad acting to that each movie became progressively more funny. So in kickboxer 4 we have David Sloan (Sasha Mitchell) in jail for killing someone while he was a DEA agent and is now getting a chance to get Tong Po who has now taken his wife and managed to change into another actor, establish a base in the Mexican desert and runs a huge drug operation there. The DEA deside rather then storming the base they send David to enters Po's lame tournameant and get Po. eventually making it into the place he meets and annoying female fighter and some other guy there to help him and get his wife back. There are many fights in between all very boring, especially the female....very dumb. After having to put up with her acting you will be begging for her to be killed. David manages to have a fight about 20 feet away from Po and he does not recognize David, probably all the fake eye make up. David is found out and ends up fighting Tong Po in a very stupid fight. David gets his wife back and Po runs off to go produce The Legionnaire...nuff said. I have seen 1-4 and this is probably ranked 3rd among them. As i did only watch this when its on tv. The fight scenes are bad and the acting is equally stupid. Among other things Tong po's make up is the best part of the movie. He was not played by an Asian guy so the eye make up they put on him is worth the watch alone. While watching this i almost positive that this tong Po was no match for david, who is much bigger then him. Only the music was good in this cheap flick. I'll give it a 4 out of 10, at least it makes you laugh.
