Robert Radler returns to direct this sequel to the 1989 action drama.

Title: An underrated action movie!
Review: This was a really under appreciated move of the 90's. Fantastic fighting and believable story.

Title: Video-game-like plot / excellent fight choreography
Review: I have to agree with most of my fellow's reviews (especially Martin Asiner's excellent review) about what is BoTB. There is no doubt that the first movie is a real example of a well-done job in every aspect - having considered that it is the result of a combined effort of cast, crew and production staff - but the second lacks alot of good elements (cleverly pointed out by Martin) and to me, it creates an atmosphere that very much recalls those early fighting video-games (i.e. Genesis' "Bare Knuckle" / "Streets Of Rage" or the classics "Double Dragon", "Kung-Fu Master" and others), where the characters must go through various different scenarios (including dance clubs, bars, lounges etcetera) facing funny and weird-looking opponents, each one having unique fighting skills, until it's time to face "The Big Boss".Well, the first movie's production dated 1989, so this one's about 1992/3 which also is the era of those "early games" I spoke about. Maybe the plot has really taken some elements of those games on purpose, and the formula worked fine by the standards of those early times.Funny thing is, the first time I watched BoTB2 I was about 23, and found the movie was awesome and flawless... now I'm 35 and had fun watching it again, and observing the many "ooops-es" in the plot. I certainly wasn't disapppointed as this movie, along with BoTB1 have become a part of my memories and both are very nostalgic. But I would't give BoTB3/4 a try; I never watched them, but I think that the formula has worn out at BoTB2, so I'll just settle down with those.

Review: It's a blast from my past and I really missed this one. Don't go in expecting anything great. If you liked the first one this is a great sequel.

Review: 5 étoiles pour le vendeur, merci pour l’envoi ultra rapide et soigné.Par contre, cette édition dvd mérite un zéro pointé !!!Ce film culte de mon adolescence (acheté sur la défunte chaine Kiosque de CanalSat) étant devenu rare avec le temps, j’étais heureux de pouvoir enfin le revoir.Helas, et même si je ne m’attendais pas à une édition collector certifiée THX, on tombe quand même très bas niveau baclage, on dirait que l’éditeur a juste transféré la vhs du film sur un dvd ! Au programme des réjouissances : une simple vf (même si c’est le point qui me gène le moins au final, car ayant découvert et apprécié le film de cette manière), un chapitrage sommaire en guise de bonus, une image à peine digne d’une vhs donc, mais surtout, et contrairement à ce qui est indiqué sur la jaquette, qui n’est pas en 16/9 mais en 4/3 non recadré ! (avec les grosses bandes noires en haut et en bas). Du coup on a l’impression de regarder le film dans une petite partie de l’écran sur nos tv modernes !Et vu la qualité d’image médiocre dans ces conditions, je n’ose pas imaginer la tête du truc en plein écran !!!Mais bon, le film reste un très grand plaisir du film d’action et d’arts martiaux, avec des combats bien vénèr’ et violents.En résumé, 5 étoiles pour le film et le vendeur et 0 absolu pour l’éditeur indigne !!!
