VHS Movie Reviews of Shootfighter 2 [VHS]

Movie Review: falls short of the first in every way
Summary: 3 Stars

The first Shootfighter was one of the best original American made martial art movies ever in my opinion. Unfortunately, part 2 got lazy. This time the action takes place in Miami. The story is nothing more than a sting operation to discover who is behind the illegal Shootfighting ring, which ends up going bad. William Zakba, Michael Bernardo and Bolo Yeung are the only 3 to return from the first film. Sorry to say, but their roles in this film were pretty bland. As for the other characters in the film, it pretty much goes the same way. The villain and leader of the Shootfighter ring plays Shingo's (Bolo Yeung) brother in this film, but his character too is unimpressive and not convincing.

The real let down is the action. There are less fights, poorer choreography, less weapons, barely any blood and realism, and just plain unimpressive fighters compared to the first Shootfighter. Again, Bolo does have one final fight in the movie, which is about the only good fight in the film (especially when the villain rips some barbed wire off the cage and begins whipping it at Shingo).

Compared to most martial art films, Shootfighter 2 is not bad. Shootfighter 1 just set such high standards that its hard to appreciate the 2nd as much.
