One of the first big movies that made Jean-Claude Van Damme an action star is coming back for reboot. I know how many feel about reboots, but this one will still star Van Damme in the role of the master teaching the hero to fight.

The films cast also includes a litany of MMA and fighting heavyweights including Gina Carano, Georges St-Pierre, Sara Malakul Lane, Darren Shalavi, Luis Da Silva Jr. and Sam Medina. Tong Po, the larger than life villain from the original will be played by Dave Bautista.

I’m a fan of the first film and will check this one out, but what is with every low-budget film look like its been shot on with a cellphone camera? There is something lost when real film isn’t used, but that’s just my opinion.

Check out the trailer below:
