Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
macewindu-2 Kickboxer 2 is one of my most favorite films. It definitely belongs among the best movies about martial arts ever made. That is because it contains profound meaning about what martial arts is about - building character and being a good person who is able to overcome the obstacles of life and stand up for justice when needed. Sasha Mitchell is great. He has a big charisma and a big heart. He's also very fit for this movie as he was an amateur kickboxing champion and did martial arts his whole life. Kickboxer 2 has a great story that reflects a warrior's path. There is struggle, both physical and mental and there is a way of overcoming this through martial arts. Besides, this movie's got an amazing soundtrack and atmosphere right from the opening scene to the end credits. They just don't make movies like this anymore. It had a soul and a heart. The character of David Sloan is perfect. He is not a superhero and although he teaches the kids about focused mind, he himself hits rock bottom later on, both mentally and physically and needs help to get up and learn to walk again from teacher Xian. It just makes you totally care about the character and identify with him. We all face similar struggles in life. If you practice martial arts, then Kickboxer 2 is a must for you, if you don't, it's a must for you also and maybe you'll start.
Dom Nickson SPOILER ALERT...I love this sequel, it did a good job by having Tong Po become even more sadistic by going as far as to murdering the three original characters to prove his dominance. There's so much stuff happening with this new character that you actually feel bad for him. The only bad thing about this film was how they took the slow motion effect too early when the friend was about to fight Tong Po. I thought the only time they should of used it was when Tong knocked out the ref before killing him. I like how they took away Jean Claude because his fights were pathetic. I mean come on he does the same old kicks I mean I don't think Tong would of fell for it the first couple of times. Also where did Jean get the endurance to come back and beat Tong yet Tong was beating him badly? Overall this sequel is WAY better it just needed to wait for the right time to slow motion. It's a 7 out of 10
disdressed12 this sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.there is lots of blood in this one,courtesy of the fight scenes.,which is a good thing.the fight scenes themselves aren't too bad.however, if found the plot to be lame and uninteresting.this martial arts movie did not really engage my interest very much.this movie lacks the depth(i,i said depth and martial arts movie in the same sentence)of the first film and even the following two sequels.the worst part of the experience is the song selections and choice of band.who picks this crap.these guy don't even rate as flea bag bar band.and the songs are pathetic.the only good things in this movie are Sasha Mitchell,who makes a credible hero and Dennis Chan,who plays the wise oriental sidekick.i suppose i could eke out a 5/10 for this movie,since it is watchable,but the music just sucks so damn bad,i have to give "Kickboxer 2" 4/10
Seth Nelson When a viewer comes upon a random title, such as "Kickboxer 2: The Road Back," one would think that the movie would stink because only retarded young men would stay up late and watch movies like this every Friday night, right?Actually, you're wrong.This movie defines the true American hero. Move over, Rambo! Move over, Terminator! Move over, Jackie Chan!!!!! The Kickboxer is here to put those bad thugs in the trash - where they belong!!!!! Being a series of action movies which had its start back in the 1980s, it has what these movies usually have - retro exciting music, body slams, blows in the face, pounds to the stomach, showing what being an American can really be - everything like this makes this sequel to the first "Kickboxer" terrific!While I thought of this movie as genius, many people did not, unfortunately.10/10
