I rented this move tonight (thats right it was so bad I've immediately come here and registered so I could comment on it) after I saw the cover and read the back, it sounded pretty cool 2 kickboxers get involved in corrupt in match fixing, one of them wants to extend into further criminal activities, the other one wants out. The first guy ends up going to jail and in the end they fight to the death for a million dollars. I don't know what film they were previewing on the back of the box but this ain't exactly it. Firstly the guy on the cover/sleeve isn't even in the movie and I read this on the back of the box half way through the movie; "The image portrayed on this video sleeve has been created to represent the high quality of the programme within. The image portrayed does not appear on the programme" (or the actor). This was in the tiniest font possible at the very bottom of the sleeve back. Second, the kickboxing matches are basically boxing matches, I think I saw 2 in ring kicks in the whole movie. Third, they reuse footage from the opening match, in the final match. Fourth, the final match isn't a fight to the death as was stated on the back of the box. Fifth, they make a mistake with the synopsis on the back of the box, the character they say goes to jail isn't right, it's his friend who goes to jail. This is a cantonese piece of trash of a movie, it's not anything to do with american kickboxing and if I wasn't so lazy I would do something about it, they shouldnt be allowed trick people with false covers, speaking of false covers don't rent bikini cowgirls either, the girls on the cover aren't in the movie...
