Gladiator Cop

He is good with a sword and has weird dreams but is he Alexander The Great? The sword is missing again and Barrett is unofficially on the case. But this time he may be in over his head. A reincarnated general he executed has taken his partner prisoner. Can he get his hands on the sword in time to save them both? The sword fights are excellent. Lamas as always is at his best. Nick Pasco's character is killed in the first movie and yet somehow turns up again here without explanation. My gut feeling is that this was one movie edited into two. But they are both so good. Who cares?

Lorenzo at his best! Emotion, passion, drama, one of the biggest action flicks of the year , even with a small budget, but Lorenzo is enough and steals the show. G R E A T

I don't think I've ever seen a Lorenzo Lamas movie, and judging from this effort I haven't missed much. Man, that guy loves his hair. He plays a cop with unexplained psychic powers who can envisage murder victims deaths by touching their corpses. It seems he's the reincarnation of Alexander the Great, whose mighty sword has been stolen by a dastardly museum proprietor. The dastardly museum proprietor is using it to help him win bets on illegal fights – as you do.

The story holds together about as well as a bubble in a hurricane – and has about as much substance. Apparently it's made up largely from the footage left over from an earlier Lamas movie so it's clear the makers weren't fired by a desire to make a lasting contribution to cinema's fine heritage. No sir, these guys were out to make a quick buck. Characters appear and disappear without explanation and do stupid things for no reason. One of them even sleeps with Lamas and his hair.

Yeah, no doubt it's weirdest movie I've ever seen. Combined from archive footage of his predecessor, it's unique, totally dumb and senseless. It may be interesting only to lovers of B-grade underground fighting, but that's it. CGA are lame, acting is gone, James Hong is pointless. There is only one good thing in this stinker - music. It's better than whole movie itself. I'm not a big fan of b-movies, but I liked Swordsman (1993), the predecessor. However this one, is shame for cinema. Oh, yeah... There one scene, in which Astrid Falconi shows her muscles, while making love to some guy. That's was only thing that was interesting. The production hadn't enough money to show her breasts, which is too bad. Good luck for next time.

(27%) An unsurprisingly crap movie - but what a title. Apparently this uses footage from another movie and it really shows, for if were a set of teeth it would badly need braces. The cop in question is an X-men style mutant who can solve crimes by simply touching the victim's dead body, so why he isn't decorated as the best cop on the planet is a mystery as he visits morgues and wraps up a case within mere seconds. Plot-wise this is garbage, but the illegal fights to the death are actually quite good fun to watch as some of the guys taking part are huge and dressed in some ridiculous outfits wielding massive comedy weapons. Between the fights there's only the lovely Claire Stansfield and the always watchable James Hong to keep the wheels from falling off. My advice, skip to the fights or don't bother.
