At Least It Is Better Than Original
Don "The Dragon" Wilson is back as Jake Raye. But, before you question why you should watch this film and I am not actually suggesting that you do, I first must say it is way better than the original. While certainly not amazing better fight scenes, better production values and even the love interest for Don, here played by Rina Reyes is much better. She is a deeper character and she can kick some ass, too.
Right out of the chute we see Jake has killed someone in the ring. He has decided to quit kickboxing altogether. But, Jake is racing back to Manila to help out his friend Vinny (Maurice Smith). Only to find out he is involved with mega baddie Su (Joe Mari Avellena) who is wanting to run a gladiator-styled fighting tournament on his private island (sounds like ENTER THE DRAGON) and using new steroids he is developing.
While it is better than the original still does not get a passing grade because the acting still is the pits and low-grade fight scenes.
