strange they left that out.
they could have had a sister for bryan who was sloans age and after bryan died it brought her and sloan together and they fall in love.
i think it would have given the movie a little more heart. most action movies have romantic relationships between the main character and some woman even if it is a weak relationship.
i never needed to have a love interest for David.
we had a love interest for Kurt in the first film. their deaths is whats suppose to carry on into this film for the drama.
the film seemed to be more about David avenging the death of his brothers.
i think it would have perhaps worked better in the third film.
they give him a wife in part 4, but shes really just a stranger to us the audience.
I am heterosexual but it would be neat just to be DIFFERENT if the main hero in an action/martial arts movie was gay and had a MALE love interest. That NEVER happens.
sharewell Tides of War was a movie that had the main hero that was gay and had a gay partner. but the film was completely recut so that all of the gay stuff was removed. as well as renaming the film.
im guessing studios dont want to make that kind of film.
they certainly wouldnt have that for a Kickboxer movie. especially since back then a lot of people joked that Van Damme was gay and it became an odd thing in the media.
Kickboxer 2 i think works without a love interest because its about the Sloan brothers. plus you dont want to have it mimick the first film which had a love interest. youd want this sequel to be different and dramatic in a different sense.
But I thought people hated clichés now.
You want to play the game, you'd better know the rules, love.

That is actually one thing I do give credit to the movie for is that they didn't need to give him a love interest. He was just a good guy that wanted to train fighters and get kids off the street.

I agree with this. I think that romance and love is overused in action, adventure, and martial arts movies, and is an attempt at trying too hard to please everyone.
