Disappointment for a huge fan!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

Wow... this truly has to be one of my favourite movies of all time. For me, I always get a kick (no pun intended) from watching this movie.I don't know if it's the awesome opening scene and credits where our main protagonist drives into town with some awesome cheesy 80's theme music to back him up, The amount of times they say "a.r.s.e" in the first few opening minutes (it's a lot), the high pants wearing, the cheesy "bad guy" music, the cheesy "bad guys" and their never ending racial slurs, the cheesy dialogue, the legendary Mr. Wing (has to be the best cliché old Asian martial arts instructor in movie history), or the fact that no matter how many times I watch it, I'll never be able to make sense out of the final few fights in the karate tournament.I may be being a little sarcastic when I give it 10 out of 10, I mean, if you're looking for the next Ben Hur, perhaps you should look somewhere else, but it is a 10 out of 10 for enjoyment. Everyone should see this movie, you wont forget about watching it any time soon.

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.

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.
