Paul R This version of Kickboxer 2 is what happens when Van Damme decides to pass on the sequel. So you can tell some quick rewrites had to happen to create a new brother character who was never mentioned in the first film. Aside from that, the is movie is a worthy sequel. Sasha Mitchell does a great job as David with his unique line delivery and body language. He carries the film and is surrounded by great supporting actors. Mitchell is very likeable and relatable and you can see he's got genuine martial arts training and skills. The big bad from the first movie - Tong Po (Michel Qissi) returns and while he hardly gets any screen time comparatively, he strikes a very intimidating tone with the short time he gets. You would not want to be in the opposite corner of this imposing fighter. This movie is bloody, violent and dark. It had a very small budget but you rarely see the cost restraints stand out. It is shot very well, acted very well, looks good and the minimal budget is hidden well. Definitely a very worthy watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Stephanie L I really liked it plus Sasha Mitchell is great in anything Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/23 Full Review Alexander B It had some good fight choreography and directing but every scene without fighting is terrible. The dialogue, acting, and story were all terrible. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Tony S Not as fun as the first entry but sure increases overindulged slow mo in fight scenes, coupled with really bad editing. Still, the soundtrack is good and in retrospective, considering the sequels that come after, The Road Back isn't the that bad at all story wise. But I still can't believe, that they recast Tong Po as some Belgian named Michel, how cheap can you get? How can anyone be better than Tong Po as himself? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/21 Full Review Audience Member Tries too hard to be more messed up than the First Kickboxer where disbelief cannot be suspended. Favorite part is the up close slow-mo strikes. The kicks look like an off camera crew member is clubbing the character with a fake leg. Really fun to watch. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Younger brother of the two Sloan brothers in the original film (now dead at the hands of Tong Po) is forced to return to the ring in order to keep the family's struggling gym open. Tong Po comes to the US to restore his honour by fighting a third Sloan brother, David. Luckily, his brother's unorthodox Thai trainer also comes to the US to train him. No new ground here, like the original, this one also ends in a Taipei Death Match. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
