Van Damme stars as Kurt Sloane, who travels to Thailand with his brother Eric, an American kickboxing champion determined to prove himself against the fearsome Muay Thai fighter Tong Po. After Eric is brutally injured in the ring, Kurt seeks out the reclusive trainer Xian Chow and begins an arduous training regime in preparation for a fight with Tong Po.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its training sequences and exotic Thai locations to the climactic showdown, Kickboxer has become an enduring favourite among fans of 1980s martial arts cinema. Van Damme's combination of athleticism, elaborate fight choreography and considerable flexibility helped cement his status as one of the era's great action stars, while Tong Po became one of the most memorable villains of his early films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA major part of the film's identity comes from composer \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Hertzog\u003c\/strong\u003e, who had previously provided the music for Van Damme's breakthrough hit \u003cstrong\u003eBloodsport\u003c\/strong\u003e. Hertzog's music combines synthesizers, electronic percussion and atmospheric melodies with more dramatic action cues, moving from the mystery of Kurt's surroundings to the determination of his training and the tension of the film's increasingly brutal fights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack also embraces the gloriously unmistakable sound of late-'80s action cinema with a selection of vocal tracks, including music performed by \u003cstrong\u003eStan Bush\u003c\/strong\u003e. His contributions include Streets of Siam, Fight for Love and the anthemic Never Surrender, with the songs sitting alongside Hertzog's instrumental score to create a soundtrack that is inseparable from the film's training montages, fights and larger-than-life atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited edition is pressed on \u003cstrong\u003eorange vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e and is limited to 1,000 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack to Kickboxer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScore music by Paul Hertzog\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures songs performed by Stan Bush and other artists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressed on orange vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition of 1,000 copies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f5f5f5;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;padding:16px;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:40px;flex-wrap:wrap;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;min-width:250px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding-left:0;list-style-position:inside;font-variant-numeric:tabular-nums;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreets of Siam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo the Hospital\/We'll See\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTai Chi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncient Voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced Training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound Three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll with the Punches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;min-width:250px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding-left:0;list-style-position:inside;font-variant-numeric:tabular-nums;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eagle Lands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddha's Eagle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Surrender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFight for Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to Keep Me Comin' Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChack's Stew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeling So Good Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ESC Lab","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":62710698344835,"sku":"EDV 2588","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/8118\/3506\/files\/PaulHertzog.001.png?v=1790546666","url":"https:\/\/sonictitanrecords.com\/products\/kickboxer-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-lp-vinyl","provider":"SONIC TITAN RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
