College Kickboxers Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Wizard-8 With a somewhat goofy title, it doesn't come as no surprise that "College Kickboxers" will provoke some laughs from viewers, though most of the laughs are unintentional. That's not to say that the movie is lacking some genuine merit. It doesn't look too bad for what was a really low budget, for one thing. And the martial art sequences actually are pretty good, being swift and exciting. And as the movie's inevitable martial arts master, actor Tak-Wing Tang gives his character a sense of humor which is genuinely amusing, though his thick accent makes some of his dialogue hard to make out.But as I mentioned in the above paragraph, most of the humor found in the movie is of the unintentional kind. Some of the acting by the other players is so broad and amateurish that you can't help but laugh, especially since some of the written dialogue is also unintentionally comical. The script also suffers from a long midsection where little advance in the (thin) plot is made. Strangely, there are also some garbled plot points that suggest that key footage was edited out or not filmed in the first place. But I admit the movie is never dull despite those shortcomings. It isn't a must see viewing experience, but it has a somewhat goofy charm that carries viewers with low expectations from start to finish. There are worse movies with this basic formula out there.
cuttyface College Kickboxers is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If you are a fan of terrible B-grade movies, get this. It's not painful bad, it's extremely funny bad.The story follows main character James Caulfield and his transition from macho man to zen-like kung fu master. Along the way he picks up a girl with awesome lines, mainly about his marital arts, helps his friend try to keep a dojo for underprivileged children running, receive training from a Chinese cook and have some run-ins with one of the silliest villains ever seen in a movie.The acting is unbelievably ridiculous, especially from the bad guys. I laughed at almost every line. The direction is incredibly poor, not only do the actors give laughable jobs, but there are some major continuity errors and the fight scenes are in general terrible. There is a brief nipple shot which is perhaps the highest point of the film.I found this movie far more laugh inducing than 90% of modern American comedies. Do yourself a favour and have a wee giggle at this.
SUTTER CANE This movie is really bad. But it´s bad in a good way. The acting is laughable and the main bad guy must be the silliest villain ever put on film. The story is very good an unpredictable, with some great plot twists...Yeah, right! The story sucks of course, but you don´t see this kind of movie because of it´s story.The martial arts are surprisingly good for a movie with a budget as low as this. All in all, this is a great movie to see with friends over a couple of six-packs.
AlbertV79 I saw this film under the name TRAINED TO FIGHT and I found it to be very good, thanks to the appearance of Tang Tak-Wing as "Sifu Wing". Otherwise, this film would have most likely have been another piece of trash. Nevertheless, the tournament sequences at the end, when Ken McLeod gets revenge on the White Tigers, are great. I recommend this film. It even gives you a lesson about the true meaning of martial arts.
