4.0 out of 5 stars ripped muscles and breaking bones...in vegas, August 19, 2006

By	dominion_ruler "Bryan" (Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

Best of The Best 2 is one of those martial art movies that are filled with some eye candy. Just about every fighter is very ripped and glistening with sweat. The fights are not short at all and most have very fancy coreography, some unrealistic but still look great. There are many bone crushing (literally) scenes and some detailed bloody gun-shootings. The arena, named the "The Coliseum", is one of the best looking locales in any martial art film, which is also located in the heart of Las Vegas, underground. Lastly, the villain Brakus,played by Ralph Moeller (also appeared in Gladiator and Scorpion King), is just huge.

The story is average, but the amount of action makes up for it. There are some training scenes, nothing great, but some of the training is some Native American training which was nice to see (such as the sweat lodge). As for acting, its much above average for an American-made martial art film.

If you have seen the first Best of The Best movie, I can't recommend or not recommend part 2 based off of that. In fact, all 4 Best of The Best movies made are very independent from one another. The only connection from the first movie to the 2nd is that Alex, Tommy and Travis are recognized U.S. Karate champions. Simon Rhee also returns as Dae Han, with a nice little twist. Other than that, BOTB2 has a totally different feel.

As with most of these the films, the fights are the best part. As mentioned earlier, there are plenty. Tommy gets most of the action in the arena, and Travis has a few important fights. Alex is the only one who does not fight in the arena. The final fight of course is between Tommy and Brakus, and lasts about 10 minutes, with scenes of Alex fighting out security in the dance club above.

BOB2 is probably one of my more favorite martial art films. It just looks great. There is plenty of action that the movie never gets boring and moves along pretty quickly.
