"Silk 2" replaces Cec Verrell with Monique Gabrielle in the title role. This has both its advantages and its disadvantages: Monique lack's Cec's muscle tone, her voice is a bit too soft to be taken seriously in such hardcore lines as "Silk, what do you think you're doing?" - "What needs to be done!", and she is very obviously doubled for many of her stunts (even for diving off a boat!). But she IS gorgeous, she does have some moves, and, in the film's most memorable sequence, she takes a shower, complete with full-frontal nudity, and then, wearing only a barely-tied bathrobe, she fights a home intruder, kicking him all around the place while her breasts are bouncing up and down! The whole thing doesn't last more than a minute or two, however. Anyway, the film has some of the trademark Cirio H. Santiago amateurishness (check out that laughably fake head that gets shot in the opening scene!), but at least its plot is more coherent than the one of its predecessor. In fact, I thought the villain had a pretty neat plan and I almost wished he could get away with it! ** out of 4.
