Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
theromanempire-1 This sequel saved the franchise for part 1 was poorly made even by it's standards but the sequel had a much better story, fights and the important chemistry between the actors.The action is full pack and u don't get bored like in the first film.In fact all bloodfist sequels are better than part 1 so i urge you to avoid part 1 and start your collection from part 2.Don the dragon Wilson is great as always and together with matthias hues john barrett lorenzo lamas sasa mitchel van damme michael worth to name a few starred in many great American martial arts movies like the bloodfist series, kickboxer series and movies like bounty tracker, final impact, shootfighter and American kickboxer 1 to also name a few gems.
dee.reid ...And perhaps deservedly so? OK, so any movie, especially a martial arts movie starring "B"-movie Kickboxing phenomenon Don "The Dragon" Wilson, with backing by Roger Corman, is bound to not be good, right? Yeah, pretty much. I'll admit to watching and video-recording the first two "Bloodfist" movies that feature "The Dragon" as American Kickboxing champ Jake Raye, who's kicking the bad guys' butts in the Phillippines. In both movies, Raye has to fight in brutal martial arts tournaments and also get out of some sort of convoluted mess of a plot. But in "Bloodfist II," Raye returns to Manila, this time to help out a friend named Vinny Petrello (former UFC champ Maurice Smith) who is in some sort of trouble. It turns out to be a trap, and Raye is kidnapped along with six other martial artists (whose styles range from Greco-Roman Wrestling to Judo to Shotokan Karate) and forced to fight a group of chemically enhanced brutes in a series of Roman-style, to-the-death gladiator fights arranged by Su (Joe Mari Avellana). Now with the rising popularity of mixed martial arts all over the world and my own personal interest in this sport, it would make sense that a movie like "Bloodfist II" would get some more attention, since it deals with fighters of different styles coming together to show whose style is the best. (But didn't they do that in 1988 with Jean-Claude Van Damme's movie "Bloodsport"?) Yet, this entry, by director Andy Blumenthal, has pitiful acting, lousy dialogue, Jake's poorly timed relationship with Su's daughter Mariella (Rina Reyes) and just about everything else, except the fights, with the actual tournament not starting until the third act of the picture. The illegal underground martial arts tournament story has been done to death already. How about fighters competing in a legal martial arts tournament for once? And lastly, there's Wilson. He's far from a great actor, but his performance is pretty much limited to his Kickboxing skills, which shows that his title as "The Dragon" seems rightful. Too bad, he could've been a great cult movie martial arts star if his career and "B"-movie choices had panned out a little better.4/10
kim_sellars this movie is the better of the eight bloodfists movies it is about a guy called jake raye, and he gets a phone call from his old mate vinnie to fight for su, thats the drug lord, but vinnie wants jake dead so he tricks him by saying that they have been friends for years, meanwhile, jakes friends all get roped into going to this island where su drugs up his fighters because so wants jake and his friends to fight against su's people!!
luvs2luv2003 This movie is one of the best movies that Don "the dragon" Wilson has made!! its really good to watch and what makes it more better is the fact that there are some great fighters in this movie, i really like this movie it has a lot of mysteries in it!!
