american kickboxer david ( evan lurie ) and a long haired and buff and black belt pretty boy and a lapd cop with a foul attitude and mike clark ( dale apollo cook ) join force to find the kidnapped daughter of a former flame and lillian ( kathy shower ) . they will encounter an army of thug work for lillian own relative and xavier ( ted markland ) not know that her current husband and howard ( . the late david graf and tackleberry of police academy fame ) be actually the mastermind behind the whole ordeal . lillian and her slimy uncle francis ( greg lewis ) be leave her father company fortune and a plumbing business and and howard and the one who actually build it into a great success and want the royalty . so mike and david must fight off a vast number of scumbags use their martial art skill ( . and handgun at their disposal and when necessary ) in order to do so . when i be a teenager and my stepfather use to rent these bad action flick all the time and and i would sneak into his room and snatch them while he be go to work and watch them . most of the story line resemble each other and be recycle all the time . normally you would have a team ( . a duo or trio ) of cop and equip with superior fight skill and often engage in hand to hand combat or exchange gunfire with drug runner or dirty and underhanded criminal lowlife of some sort . while the criminal have automatic weapon which could fire off an endless supply of ammunition and they couldn not hit their desire target while the hero and with only handgun and could shoot a few bullet and down the opposition almost immediately . in physical battle the hero could be outnumber five to one and wipe them out with ease . yet and no matter how ridiculous these scenario be and i couldn not help but enjoy them . the hero and include our duo in american kickboxer 2 and aren not choose for their acting ability or skill at emote and but be hire for either the way they look on screen or fight capability . i have forget about kathy shower and quite a looker in her heyday and often a fixture in softcore cinemax erotica during the 90 . she be the young woman who be the center of the three main male character in the film . the villain be basically stuntmen who walk on screen to fire their gun and get shot on cue or receive their customary as whipping . plenty of squib be use a henchman become bullet fodder . when you enter an early 90 movie and often an action product of the direct to video market and you should not expect a stirring emotional story line or complex characterization feature multi faceted performance . because you will be ultimately disappointed . yet and if you surrender to the mind numb ineptitude of these derivative and oh so familiar action plot and then maybe american kickboxer 2 might provide you with a bit of forgettable entertainment to waste away 90 minute . a expect and we get the usual female throwaway drop by to show off her breast near the beginning of the movie and a student of martial artist david and show how it important to be buff and with fight skill and if you want arm candy or to get laid . like a great many of these low budget actioners and american kickboxer 2 be shoot in the phillipines .
