Kickboxer: Vengeance is a 2016 American martial arts film directed by John Stockwell, and starring Dave Bautista, Alain Moussi, Gina Carano, Georges St-Pierre, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Meanwhile, Liu, a local Thai police officer, has been planning to stop the underground fights much to the chagrin of her superior, Wattona, who is on Marcia's payroll.

As Kurt feels ready, Durand gives him a test to a local bar where Joseph King sets up some small fights against his top fighter for money.

When Kurt finally finds himself ready, he shows up at Tong Po's compound and has a rematch with Storm, which he now wins but then is faced with another fighter.

The first round has Tong Po getting most of the upper hand, but Kurt proves to be a worthy fighter, impressing the crowd.

Kurt is able to now get the upper hand, especially when he has countered Tong Po's headlock, the same move that killed Eric.

Kurt uses an array of Muay Thai and even adds a bit of grappling to stop Tong Po.

The next day, Kurt and Liu leave on a boat with Kavi and another female with Durand offering his goodbye in comic fashion.
