| "Better than Kickboxer" raves the L.A. Times! Well now you know how much stock you can put into a movie review from the L.A. times.
Anyhow, what do you do when you can't lure Van Damme back to do your sequel? Well, duh! Naturally you go and get Sasha Mitchell. You also conveniently kill off Van Damme's character(Tong Po was a sore loser and killed him and apparently his brother and Dennis Chan's niece). In this film, Sasha Mitchell plays the younger brother of Van Damme. This doesn't make too much sense considering in the first film, Van Damme stated that his older brother(played by Dennis Alexio) was all the family he had. Anyway, Mitchell runs a martial arts gym that's just on the verge of going under. Seems that in Thailand they haven't been able to shake off the dishonor of having their best fighter losing to Van Damme, and want to regain it by having villain Tong Po come to America and fight with Mitchell. By burning down his gym and other scare tactics, they finally get them both in the ring. Dennis Chan, who trained Van Damme in the first film, is also lured to America to train Mitchell. My God, who will win?? It's not without it's entertainment value, but it's not terribly good, and some of the scenarios are hard to swallow, even for a cheap action film. Mitchell doesn't do too bad of a job and actually is a likable guy. Peter Boyle has a constant look of, "what the hell am I doing in this movie?". And Dennis Chan is just going through the motions, but isn't quite as charming this time around. Once again, Tong Po is played by white guy in Asian makeup, Michel Quissi, and he seems to have lost some of his menace. The movie was directed by schlockmeister, Albert Pyun, and that name speaks volumes if you're familiar with it. The fight scenes are decent, but Pyun has this thing about playing them out almost entirely in slow motion. Padding out running time perhaps? All in all the movie painlessly passed the time while I did laundry. Watch for the King Diamond shirt! |
