    Exciting and amazing martial arts-action-packed sequel with three reprising buddies from the original who battle a brute Ralph Moeller and his vicious minions in an underworld Las Vegas. Phillip Rhee is incredible and the best martial artist performance in Best of the Best... read more series.

    I liked this one. It turned the sports movie into the action movie.

    best of the best 1 was awesome. This is not a bad sequel that showcases Phillip Rhee's talent. not a bad storyline if you can stand Wayne Newton who plays the bad guy here.

    not even close to as good as the first

    Big dumb, fun action movie reuniting Eric Roberts with Phillip Rhee and Chris Penn. Ralph Moeller plays the evil Braccus, who runs an underground "kumite" below his hotel/casino or whatever. Some stuff happens to Chris Penn, and Tommy and Alex (Rhee and Roberts) are on the run, a... read morend out for revenge. This movie also shows us that not only is Tommy Lee Korean, he's also half-Cherokee or something, so they go to hide out with his relatives in the desert. Cool action scenes, and the final battle will have you raising your fist in a "yeah" stance like it's the end of the Breakfast Club. Very nice.

    Great movie! They take the main three fighters from the first Best of the Best & continue the story. Eric Roberts & Philip Rhee do a great job in this sequel!

    Good movie. Good sequel. My only complaint what is up with the lack of Eric Roberts? He was the star of the original, but he takes a back seat to Phillip Rhee in this one. I think Rhee's character is much less interesting. Still very cool idea! Great action movie!

Boring fight movie. Wayne Newton is okay, but nothing exciting here.

A major studio actually backed this sequel?

Even as far as this style of junk goes ... "Best of the Best 2" is pretty darn bad.
