Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Chilla Black usfeul addition the the old school 80's & 90's martial arts genre, sadly these days they don't make 'em like they used to. I think this film is pretty good, I agree with an earlier comment about the exotic feel of the movie based on its location. Some of the Norton fights scenes (in particular the bar fight) are up there with the best of the 80's/90's genre. Totally unsure about the villain, Tommy - i'd tackle his ass, he reminds me of a rich kiddie bozo straight out of high school, and that is just plain stupid him fighting Norton for a bag of diamonds. In this movie Rothrock doesn't do a heck of a lot of high kicks but the finishing move at the end is worth hitting the rewind button once or twice for. Rage and Honor II is a decent fight film.

Kelleyscope The previous comment has it 99% right. This film works, although maybe it works more for those of us who have seen many films that have not worked (observation: films in this genre all seem to work when Richard Norton is in them).An added bonus with this film for guys like me, is that it does have a few select moments of "so bad it is good" (such as the acting level of the under-cover CIA agent, Tommy's father and one of Buntao's henchmen) SPOILER ALERT: but fear not, all get killed ...The one percent that the previous comment fails to mention (although a couple others have, but in an inaccurate way) is the acting of Frances Taumbaun in the role of Buntao (I'm sure I have mis-spelled his name, and I could correct it simply by back-clicking, but alas I am at work and well, just let me get back to the point ...)At first viewing, Taumbaun may seem as though he were over-acting, maybe first thru 10th viewing ... but trust me when you get to that coveted 11th viewing of any true martial arts movie fan, you will then begin to realize that he is actually a very good actor. In fact, despite being a big Richard Norton fan it is Taumbaun who ALMOST steals this movie 11th-23rd viewings. Dare I say it: I love this guy. Rage and Honor III should be made with Buntao coming back for some revenge.Seriously, I'll write it. Anybody want to shell out some dough? Lets bring back Norton, Taumbaun and of course Cynthia Rothrock and complete this trilogy!

wolf1282 ***SPOILERS*** Let's start with the "good" of this film--the serviceable acting of Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton. The rest of the acting is awful (this isn't aided by the atrocious script). The worst culprit is the villain, Buntao, the head of an Asian crime syndicate (played by Frans Tumbuan). I was laughing my head off as he was expressing his "fury" over having lost a bunch of money; horrid performance. Patrick Muldoon isn't much better, and his "it's a hostile takeover" line (that's the remainder of the title of this film) was delivered about as badly as one could do it. There are no other main characters, but no other actor/actress distinguished him/herself in this film. We next come to the plot. This should tell you all you need to know: In the original "Rage and Honor," Cynthia Rothrock, who plays Chris Fairchild, was a teacher in the inner city. Now, she's a C.I.A. agent (or was it some other governmental agency--sorry, but this film was so bad that I don't even remember). Hmmm...I can imagine what that C.I.A. application process was like. Interviewer: What past job experience do you have? Chris: I was a teacher. Interviewer: Okay; you're hired! I only give it a "2" because of some decent acting and a nice plot twist at the end (though we know that Tommy (Muldoon), the secret villain, will be caught).

AwesomeWolf Not having seen the first 'Rage and Honor', but being a fan of Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock, I picked up 'Rage and Honor II' from an ex-rental stand of cheap videos at a local video rental store. I must say that I was pretty impressed.Rothrock plays Kris Fairchild, a U.S. Government agent undercover in Indonesia investigating a money laundering operation. Norton plays Preston Michaels, an ex-cop hiding out in Indonesia and running a boxing gym. After they both get a shot at beating up the same thugs, Fairchild and Michaels find themselves up against local crime syndicate lead by Buntao (Frans Tumbuan).Naturally, as a direct-to-video martial arts movie, little attention is paid to plot, dialog, acting, etc. Don't get me wrong though, the plot seems a little TOO developed to belong in a martial arts movie, but that gets balanced out by some of the terrible dialog.Action wise, the movie is pretty good. Norton and Rothrock give a good showcase of their butt-kicking abilities. There are some good fight scenes, and the requisite number of explosions and car chases to keep all action fans satisfied.Richard Norton needs to be in more movies. His awesome Australian accent makes every other character sound like dorks. I'm quite impressed by the number of times he managed to use the term '****ing crazy' in this movie. I probably should have counted. Next time.'Rage and Honor II' is a good martial arts movie, but that's all. Fans of martial arts, or action movies in general, should give it a go - 7/10
