I expected this to be a boring and/or stupid followup to the first movie, but I was totally wrong! It's actually surprisingly good. Van Damme is great, but the fight scenes in this hold up right alongside the original, and there's actually a plot that both makes sense and is interesting. Of course it's an Al Pyun movie, so you should know what you're getting, for better and worse. Like other movies such as Alien from LA and Brainsmasher, etc. It's not high art, it's the kind of movie you watched on cable TV at 1am eating leftover pizza. And just like that leftover pizza, it's fulfilling. Good stuff.
