STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits In a plot completely unrelated to the second movie, the unfortunately named BJ Quinn (John Barrett) is imprisoned at the start of the movie for accidentally killing a man at a party. BJ was a world champion kickboxer before this and on his release begins to train his former opponent Chad (Keith Vitali) to take on Denard (Brad Morris) a nasty piece of egotistical work who needs a good sorting out.Without going into it too much, this is a film that's as big an unintentional (or maybe not) laugh as the sequel. We have a hero with a laughable name who's got to be about senior citizen age by US standards still getting in the ring and duking it out, an over-acting villain who wears, amongst other things, blue spandex trousers and a pink tutu in the ring, along with something that sounds like a Russian accent and another consistent character in the shape of a journalist (Ted Le Plat) who likes to show up at the press conferences and stir up sh!t with fighters he knows could beat him to a pulp. That's not to mention some corny ballads, such as Don't See Me.It doesn't flow as a story, and it doesn't have much in the way of a narrative flow. Even the fight scenes aren't very well chereographed or convincing, but as a piece of unintentional trash comedy it's (almost) as good as it's sequel. **
