Featured review
Funnier than second one, though not quite as good
For reasons explained in my review of "Kickboxer 2: The Road Back", I STILL had not seen the first one when I wrote a review that included a plot summary. I have since found out there is another way to include a detailed plot summary.
This film is more of a comedy than the second one, and that's fine with me. Most of the scenes with David and Xian are funny, as are many scenes with Marcos. Even the villains give us some funny lines.
In the first film, Sasha Mitchell didn't seem that much like Cody. But he either hadn't played the character yet or hadn't played him very long. In this film, the Cody personality is there from his first line. That's not to say he is always there. Sometimes Mitchell is quite serious and tough. But either playing Cody all those years reduced his IQ or David has been getting hit in the head too much. Since I liked Cody, it was okay with me.
Dennis Chan isn't quite as good as in the second movie, in terms of quality, but he is a lot funnier.
Noah Verduzco does a very good job as young Marcos, and unlike Joey from the first movie, a similar character, he gets to stay around for the entire movie.
One of the villains is in charge of some kind of holiday celebration involving dancing by the locals. They're quite talented.
A woman selling some kind of merchandise has only a couple of lines but is very convincing as a real Brazilian.
There is nice music in Frank Lane's restaurant, where it appears wealthy men are being set up with hookers. Later in Frank's restaurant, there is more good music, this time with a female vocalist, and dancing.
And there's a great fall out of a window. To which David responds, "Now THAT's number seven!"
The fighting is good, if you like that sort of thing. It's not nearly as bloody as in the second movie, and in fact this one had a TV-PG rating when I saw it while the other was TV-14. But don't be fooled: this still isn't family fare.
It's entertaining enough.
