Not to be confused with the other ‘Kickboxer’ reboot that is going through a major overhaul as its original director (STEPHEN FUNG) and two of its stars (SCOTT ADKINS & TONY JAA) have recently dropped out, THIS ONE which is being called KICKBOXER: CITY OF BLOOD will be directed by ALBERT PYUN (Cyborg) and stars SASHA MITCHELL (TV’s Step By Step).

Pyun and Mitchell previously teamed up on the direct-to-video sequels to JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME’s original film, KICKBOXER 2: THE ROAD BACK and KICKBOXER 4: THE AGGRESSOR.

‘Kickboxer: City Of Blood’ will also see the return of DENNIS CHAN (Kickboxer 1-3) as mentor ‘Xian Chow’ and MICHEL QISSI (who played villain ‘Tong Po’ in the original) as a new character named ‘Said Ali’.

Pyun is currently working on bringing MICHAEL DUDIKOFF (American Ninja) and MARK DACASCOS (Drive) on board as well!
