BLACKBELT II: FATAL FORCE is a Roger Corman-produced, shot in the Philippines action cheapie and one of those movies that stars a lump of walking meat in the lead role. Blake Bahner plays the unlikely-monikered Brad Spyder, heading off to Hawaii for some fun but instead finding himself leading an investigation into the murder of his own partner; a nasty killer is at work. This is one of those movies that turns out to liberally borrow stock footage from better films, and it's unsurprising that it was produced by Filipino head honcho Cirio H. Santiago. Other than a brief role for Vic Diaz, it's not much fun at all, sadly, with the best bits borrowed from elsewhere.
