This is low budget and hilariously bad!
Ratnose6 January 2004
Early work from the Tempe entertainment guys! This is why they re released it under the Bad Movie Police series. They know it is bad!! You will absolutely have a blast watching this really bad bad bad movie! the lead is EXTREMELY bad! the action is ludicrously bad! and the rest of the film is just awful! Awful funny that is!!! If you are a fan of Tempe then see this one! if not stay clear of it!! Since this is for people who know how to enjoy a bad film.

playing on a constant loop somewhere in hell

Warning: Spoilers
This is a horrible horrible lame ass comedy with nothing funny about it in the least. It's about two elderly unattractive women playing high school girls. One loves a TV show called "Chick Boxer" which we never actually see aside from one small snippet. It was the worst thing I've ever experienced, if you ever find yourself in Hell, the ninth circle will be playing this film on a constant unending loop. The only good scene is one of Michele Bauer at the VERY end of the picture in a scene completely unrelated to the rest of the movie in any way shape or form completely nude for absolutely no reason. But by that point you would have in all likelihood have pulled a Kurt Cobain on yourself (and by that I mean having Courtney Love come over and shoot you in the face)

My Grade: F

DVD Extras: Commentary by JR Bookwalter; 2 featurettes (the Chickboxer Story, James Black & Chickboxer); Stills Gallery; and Original Trailer

Yes, It's Horrible

Generally, when I read a review from some guy claiming the movie is "the worst movie I've ever seen", I'm a little skeptical. How many movies have you seen, buddy? However, if you're going to say that about "Chickboxer", I'm not going to knock you, as this movie sucks in pretty much every respect. I own the DVD and I'm amazed to learn there was a different opening scene on the original VHS-you mean there's worse than watching someone tie their shoes for five minutes?!?!? I won't dig into the flaws, because the entire movie is one massive flaw in and of itself, but will instead focus my contempt on the cynicism (or is it sadism?) that would allow a person to allow an amateurish piece of garbage like this to get distribution. How many people rented this back in the day, thinking they were going to be watching a legitimate B-movie? Happily, I paid $0.50 for my copy, new, still in the shrink wrap. And I still feel cheated.

Not Horrible

The Plot.

"Blazing across the air waves comes America's favorite super- heroine: Chickboxer! ... finale explodes in a action-packed all-out kick boxing war (okay some guys fall down from some lame blows)!

Chickboxer is a smash action epic from the creators of (three films you never heard of)".

For the tiny amount of money they put into this movie I have to say it's a lot better than similar movies made today on low budgets.

It's campy and intentionally funny. No nudity is a let down.

But it's worth a watch. I liked the location LA shots that show the city at a different time and place.

delightful

If you have not witnessed this wonderous tale from visionary Scott Plummer, RUN don't walk to get your copy immediately. Shot in beautiful SVHS, an underused format in this humble reviewers personal opinion. Chickboxer includes fight scenes deemed to frightening for a stunt double, so our female lead was forced to do her own fighting. She excels at this too at the glorious conclusion...a dual to the near-death with her sinister sensei. He knocks her to the floor, but she's not down for the count...oh no! She returns to annihilate him with extreme prejudice. Isn't that what it's all about, my friends? Annihilating with extreme prejudice. In life one finds themselves in a position of doing many things with extreme prejudice, as does our heroine. Please I beg of you, watch this film classic with extreme prejudice! You will not be sorry, sport.

Rarely seen

This campy mess has near zero entertainment value. Not only have I seen this film, I actually own one of the few available VHS copies. I am sure Michelle Bauer, who is always does a good job, does not have Chickboxer on her resume. Michelle plays a supporting role, and is on camera for about 5 minutes. Probably, she did the job during lunch hour. The leading actress and remaining cast are strictly amateurs. To anyone who writes that they have just watched the worst film ever made, I will challenge them to watch this film.

Regarding the plot, the description on the video box cover is a hoot. "Blazing across the air waves comes America's favorite super-heroine: Chickboxer! ... finale explodes in a action-packed all-out kick boxing war (okay some guys fall down from some lame blows)! Chickboxer is a smash action epic from the creators of (three films you never heard of)". There is no nudity, bad language and violence is fairly tame. This film, not coming to your TV or video store, soon, or ever.
