Tasos L I think the part 2 is the best in my opinion, but all of them have a special spice of that unbeatable era. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review matt h Not good. Can't compare to the other 2. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of favorite martial arts movies... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I suppose I should review these as well to get the series complete. These are the adventures of the traveling Tommy Lee/Philip Rhee, who is dedicated to being badass everywhere and all the time. The Neo Nazi Ku Klux Klan redneck skinhead racists fall completely flat. Maybe you could get away with these storylines in a very serious and well researched drama movie, but in the context of a dumb action movie it just seems forced and clichéd. The action is mostly shooting. There's plenty of it, but that's not what I watch a Best of the Best movie for. Mostly it just seems Philip Rhee was trying to build up his resume as an action star, and this was the only title under which they'd let him do it. This was also Philip's directional and writing debut. And as a movie making effort, it's really not that bad. But the story is the wrong blend of dumb and serious and it's simply not the movie I wanted to see under this title. Well, at least it's not just white guys saving the black guys from other white guys, I guess it's a start for anti-racism movies that an Asian character gets to kick everybody's asses. All in all a low point in the franchise. Not badly made, not dull enough to shut off halfway through, but not exactly the best of the best. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't a bad mid 90's direct to video action sequel. I have seen far worse than this but have seen alot better also. I think Phillip Rhee deserved a better career than he ended up having. Gina Gershon is sexy as always. Chris Mcdonald (That Guy aka.Shooter McGavin) and Dee Wallace (ET's Mom) show up for a paycheck and that's it. The whole racism murder mystery thing kinda threw me off when I watched this back in 1996. I soon got past that and really enjoyed this movie for what it was,decent low budget direct to video action movie. This would go nicely in a 4 pack with the other 3 Best of the best films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Tommy Lee visits his sister in a town with a ridiculously high number of white supremists whose compound has so many weapons, one wonders how they haven't attracted the attention of the FBI. Ending is a bit much but Gina Gershon always a plus. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
