this sequel be nowhere near as good a the original . there be lot of blood in this one and courtesy of the fight scene . and which be a good thing . the fight scene themselves aren not too bad . however and if find the plot to be lame and uninteresting . this martial art movie do not really engage my interest very much . this movie lack the depth ( i and i say depth and martial art movie in the same sentence ) of the first film and even the follow two sequel . the bad part of the experience be the song selection and choice of band . who pick this crap . these guy do not even rate a flea bag bar band . and the song be pathetic . the only good thing in this movie be sasha mitchell and who make a credible hero and dennis chan and who play the wise oriental sidekick . i suppose i could eke out a 5/10 for this movie and since it be watchable and but the music just suck so damn bad and i have to give kickboxer 2 4/10 .
