Kickboxer is an American action film franchise that totals seven films to date. The first installment revolves around a character named Kurt Sloan, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme. Due to opting out of Kickboxer 2 to do the film Double Impact, the second through fourth installments revolve around the character David Sloane (played by Sasha Mitchell in all three entries), little brother to Van Damme's character from the original. Redemption: Kickboxer 5 (simply titled The Redemption in the opening title card) focuses on Matt Reeves (played by Mark Dacascos), a friend of the Sloan family. After a long hiatus a sixth entry was eventually made as Kickboxer: Vengeance which also serves as a reboot to the story line with Alain Moussi playing Kurt Sloane and original actor Jean-Claude Van Damme playing the trainer. The seventh entry entitled Kickboxer: Retaliation serves as a direct sequel to the characters and story in Kickboxer: Vengeance.
