    Edit
    • Trivia
      Because the film was a box office flop during its cinema release, the subsequent sequels were all released direct to video. Though this also makes this film one of the few theatrically released movies of the "fight to the death" sub genre of martial arts that became popular amidst the direct-to-video action films of the early 90s.
    • Goofs
      As Walter is playing Tetris, he turns to his dad Alex and starts talking. The game on the screen continues like someone would still be playing it - several blocks move horizontally, rotate and then descend rapidly even after Walter has put the controller away.

    Good fight film .........
    The fight scenes elevate "Best of the Best 2" to above average territory. Chris Penn is his usual macho self and puts on a good show until he runs into the behemoth, Ralph Moeller (Brakus). Eric Roberts and Phillip Rhee avenge the death of their friend with some spectacular fighting. Special mention must be made of Wayne Newton's smarmy performance as the Coliseum's pompous announcer, someone you'll love to hate. As pure entertainment the film succeeds, because of the enthusiastic performances, and well staged gladiator style battles. Give this one a try if you enjoy martial arts, you will not be disappointed - MERK
