There's 1988's Bloodsport and then 1989 Kickboxer which itself spawned a multi-film franchise. At the time of release both films helped to establish the Muscles from Brussels as a major player in martial-arts films.
James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) is set to helm the big screen remake of Bloodsport which Ed Pressman (American Psycho) will produce.
At one time director Phillip Noyce and writer Robert Mark Kamen scripted the original story. Noyce intended to direct but moved on to other projects.
Stephen Fung will call action on the Kickboxer update using a script by Dimitri Logothetis and Jim McGrath.
A remake of JCVD's Timecop is also on the way.
