On this day September 8, 1989, the action-packed martial arts film Kickboxer, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, made its debut. Directed by Mark di Salle and David Worth, this low-budget film, with a modest budget of $2.7 million, became a huge box office success, raking in $50 million worldwide.

Van Damme’s performance as Kurt Sloane, a fighter seeking revenge for his brother, solidified his status as an 80s action star and made Kickboxer a fan favorite in the martial arts genre.
