In the first Rampage (2009), Bill (Brendan Fletcher) goes on a hometown killing spree. In Rampage 2: Capital Punishment (2014), Bill terrorizes a TV station. Now, he’s back for Rampage 3: President Down – and judging by the film’s title – Bill has once again upped the ante!

Uwe Boll (Alone in the Dark) has definitely made some horrendous movies in the past, but if you’ve seen any of the Rampage films – or even Assault on Wall Street – Boll has proven himself to be a competent “action” filmmaker (Note: if you call the Rampage franchise anything but an action film, then you’re taking it all too serious).

Let’s put it this way: If Akira Kurosawa (Ran) is the master of the chanbara film, then Boll is the master of making flicks about people goin’ postal. I can honestly say that the aforementioned action thrillers are way better than anything filmmakers like John Moore (A Good Day to Die Hard), Simon West (The Expendables 2) and Len Wiseman (Total Recall remake) are pumping out in theaters. Way better. Also, Boll has balls.

Rampage 3: President Down (aka Rampage 3: No Mercy) releases in May 2016. Until then, brace yourself for the film’s trailer – and while you’re at it, seek out Rampage and Rampage 2. You’ll be glad you did.

Late last year, news about Kickboxer: Retaliation – a follow up to the soon-to-be released Kickboxer: Vengeance – was being developed. Today, exciting new details about the sequel have finally emerged.

According to CS, Alain Moussi and Jean-Claude Van Damme (Double Team, Pound of Flesh) are reprising their respective roles as they match against a syndicate of criminals.

This time around, Dimitri Logothetis (who directed Moussi in the unreleased Wings of the Dragon) is taking over the director’s chair for John Stockwell (In the Blood). It should be noted that Logothetis is no stranger to the series, since he served as both writer and producer for Kickboxer: Vengeance.

There was some speculation that UFC Champ Fabrício Werdum was attached, but it has been confirmed that professional strongman competitor, Hafthor Julius Björnsson (Game of Thrones), will be playing the film’s main villain.

Kickboxer: Retaliation is set to begin in Thailand in May. Stay tuned for more updates!
