Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

(Spoiler-Free)First off, if you hav'nt seen the first movie, go watch it! Its one of the all-time best in the Martial Arts genre. Then come back and watch this one because it is pure, undiluted awesome! The second movie may have deviated in a big way from the drama format of the original, and crossed into typical 90's action formula but, its still a well-made sequel. Despite its differences, it pays enough respect to the first movie that it doesn't (or shouldn't)alienate fans of the first.Excellent cast, well-done fight scenes, good performances, a great bad guy, and spiffy 90's music.I'm just sad phillip rhee's career didn't go further. He clearly had potentiol. At least he has two classic fight movies under his belt before he exited Hollywood. Which is something many wannabe-action stars cannot say.If you're looking for an early 90's martial arts action film, you really cannot go wrong with this gem. Not much else to say, this flick DELIVERS the goods.

(Limited Spoiler on costume, character inspiration, but i clicked it in case for IMDb Standards) I saw this first as a kid, can't remember how old i was but my step father rented a lot of Martial Arts movie and those i could remember the most where Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Best of the Best 2 and Final Impact.I came back to Martial Arts movie a couple years ago, first me and my cousin wanted to see Kickboxer again, we got on a quest to find it at video store on VHS, yet no video store had it anymore. The movie was never made in quebec on DVD in french.... and my cousin dosen't speak much English, so well i finally got it by ordering a Korean version(lol yeah i know) that had the 3 tracks on it. It immediately started back the fire in me and i got on a rampage to grab every American kickboxing movies of the 90s... Now i have hundreds of them. Yet BOTB2 will always have a sweet spot. I like the first one, but this one is even better, the story yet classic is well written, the characters are believable, the soundtrack is AMAZING. Both Wayne Newton and Ralph Moeller are superb as the bad guys in this, not to mention Tommy Lee(Phillip Rhee) is dress exactly as Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat in the final part of the movie even performing Liu Kang traditional finishing move. I know MK actually got JCVD bloodsport character for inspiration of the character Johnny Cage, and that Sonya is based on Cynthia Rothrock, but since MK is from 92, when BOTB2 is 93, i would say BOTB2 had Tommy looked like Liu. Anyway i love everything about this movie, action sequences, the acting , the story, its a true classic. You have to see this if you like American Martial Arts movies of the 90s

May contain spoilers! This is the next installment of the Best of the Best series. Some of the actors return (Robert, Rhee, Penn, and Gross) along with a new cast of characters.Alex (Robert), Tommy (Rhee), and Travis (Penn) open a marital arts school in Las Vegas. Travis fights in an underground fighting arena called the Coliseum, for money. After a friend gets killed by Brakus, in the Coliseum, Alex and Tommy going on a mission to stop Brakus.The violence is turned up in this film, which makes it some what better. The lines are cheesy one liners, like most martial arts films, and give a darker tone to the series. The fight scenes are done very well, and can be quite brutal at times. The acting could be better, but like most martial arts films, acting is not the number one concern.If you like good fight scenes watch this movie, you will not be disappointed.

SPOILERS contained in the 2nd paragraph. This movie is so horrible that it borders on the comic. Actually, it doesn't border, it crosses it. The plot is worse than predictable: It is downright absurd and childishly unreal. All sorts of outrageous things happen for no apparent reason and the director / script-writer do not even attempt to explain them. [My advice for those who don't want to read on is to avoid it at all costs. If someone at home has rented the video, pay them to have the tape immediately returned to the video-store. You'll thank me!]Hell, why bother to explain why the police, the D.A or any other authority do nothing to solve an apparent murder? "Justice" has to be brought by Tommy Lee and his buddy Alex. Why bother explaining how a chronic alcoholic gets back to being a master fighter in half a day? Why bother explaining how an Olympic (wrestling) champion gets involved in fights in an underground, life-and-death fight-ring? And the list goes on... The usually decent Eric Roberts gets completely lost here, just like all the other actors. Sad!
