One cool thing about both versions:


Granted I only saw preview but that is enough to know this fact:

In BOTH versions the main hero Kurt Sloane STARTS the movie as a martial arts (karate and western kickboxing) expert by conventional standards, he STARTS in peak physical condition by conventional standards but has to be trained in muay thai and turned into a super human. And in both versions the main trainer at first is reluctant to train him but he earns their respect in part for being pretty damned good, they see his potential.

This is NOT some karate kid flick that starts with a wimp that cant fight.

Its really about vengeance and over coming a stronger more "super human " opponent. Kicking the stone pillars in the og and van damm bleeding his legs against the palm trees.
