The thing I respect is they not only dress Tommy like Liu Kang from the Mortal Kombat video game, but they have him do a Liu Kang fatality to defeat the boxer. 😂
Back in the 1990s, Ralf Moeller was the world's largest bodybuilder. At his peak size, Moeller was 6'6", 295 lbs. Moeller had the ideal look for his roles in Universal Soldier, Best of the Best 2, Conan The Adventurer, and Gladiator.
One of my favourite films from when I was a kid, same as kickboxer.. what makes a good fighting film for me is training montages, good music and a good final fight! This has all of them along with kickboxer, it’s goofy but I love it haha great review man made me laugh!
Before he was Sal Maroni he was Best of the Best. This is like a perfect prequel to how Sal Maroni came to power and now Batman has to take him down. That kick to the face was hilarious!
From a literary standpoint he was like an amalgamation of Vega and Zangeif ahahahah. Since he was such a narcissist its pretty dumb to have being someone who fights people to the death as a "career" since um... AT SOME POINT YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT IN THE FACE MAN. Not even Brakus can block or dodge every kick and punch as was proven in this movie.
The original movie did very very well on home video, and with Van Damme doing well at the box office, this sequel took a chance in the cinemas. But as you said, it tanked. I watched it on video at the time, and though I think the fighting is great overall, and I liked the continuation of Dae Han's involvement here, it was a disappointment. I remember being stunned that Travis was killed off, and it soured the association I had with the original at the time. The revenge in the underground fighting tournament is thus taken from any other martial arts action film of its day. The fight scenes with Tommy are excellent all the same, and Ive always thought Phillip Rhee should have been far more successful.
Loved this! It's funny - so many elements in common with Sensei Seagal's flicks, only here it feels like good-natured and (goofy) fun. Eric Roberts entering the venue in an evening jacket, looking like James Bond and kung-fu'ing bad guys...what's not to love? And the "guns are unmanly" guy. Also, Wayne Newton had a cameo in the James Bond flick "License to Kill" as a sketchy TV evangelist.
I swear the guy asking the kid if he needs a ride home is a reference to home alone. When mcalister is running through the dark in the park, some people harass him about seeing his mother and moving on etc... maybe I'm crazy but, I swear it's a reference!!!
"Did you kill my friend?" "Easily". One of my all time favorite movie lines and I use it all the time. Tae Kwon Do is a joke, anyway. They are just in it for the money and you have to pay to test for each belt. Ridiculous.
I like how this series progressed. At first we have some dedicated traditional martial artists battling it out in a tournament. Next we learn that Tae Kwon Do can lead into underground pit fights to the death and some weapons are introduced. Finally the third one ended up being a carbon copy of the plot of "on deadly ground" and a 3 ninjas movie, and oh my God the guns. Best of the best 3 DOA by MOA
random observations: * When the baddie got cut, I immediately thought of "nobody makes me bleed my own blood". I'm glad you played that clip. * your fixation on Tommy tackling his kid is hilarious * Holy crap! Tommy's uncle is Sonny Landham! * Maybe Tommy's uncle thought he had that native American bulletproof superpower from 'Ernest Goes to Camp' * the baddie talking about "ruining his perfection reminds me of Vega from Street Fighter

Ok, this is really dorky: Tommy isn't driving down The Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas Blvd). He's driving down Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas which is 4 or 5 miles north or so. AKA Glitter Gulch. Back in the old days, Vegas was centered around Fremont Street. Starting in the 1960's, the larger new casino were appearing on The Strip. This area down south isn't even in Las Vegas, but in the unincorporated area of Paradise (though nobody really cares about this). By 1989, all the new major casinos were on the strip and it's popularity had eclipsed Fremont Street. You can't drive down Fremont Street anymore like Tommy. In 1994 the road was closed and turned into a pedestrian mall with a giant light roof of lights over it. It's called "The Freemont Street Experience". Fun Fact: A proposal that made it a LONG ways to completion for Fremont Street instead of the roof was a life size Starship Enterprise Hotel. It sounds insane, but it was very close. In fact, the money was completely in place and the Fremont people were ready to go, but a new Paramount executive pulled the rights for whatever reason.
My god this was a fucking amazing review! I watched all 4 of these movies when they came out, and this brings back all those 90's feels. Can't wait to see the next review. Your reviews are like the VHS playlist of my 20's. ❤️
@@demetrioreyes1959 there is indeed a fourth! The first film is still the best, but if you’re a fan of the series it’s worth a viewing just to see Phillip Rhee doing his thing again.
Man, you missed the best part! "I'll rip your f*ckin ears off, 'n stick 'em where the sun don't shine!" One of the hardest times I laughed as a kid lol
9:50... The "Three people that could teach him to beat Brakus" SHOULD'VE been, him (Tommy's drunk uncle), Rocky (like you said),, and Thomas Janes "Punisher" (for beating the Russian "Kevin Nash")!!😂🤣👍
You missed a couple things; *#1 -* the guy at the back door whom Travis gives a half-pint of Jack Daniels to so he’ll let Walter in with him… that’s the same guy who’s Girlfriend Travis was Dancing with which started the bar fight in _Best of the Best I_ *#2 -* Ironically, Wayne Newton’s one of the highest ranked Martial Artists in the entire _Best of the Best_ franchise. *#3 -* I’m glad you touched on how Brackus is basically Ivan Drago, but you missed the fact that this movie follows SUCH A SIMILAR formula to _Rocky IV;_ fellow fighter/close friend gets killed in a fight in first act of movie, main character/fellow fighter winds up in a fight against the fighter who killed close friend/fellow fighter to end the movie. *NOW,* when I was a 65-Lbs. 8 year-old kid, I was a brown belt with very little concept of physics…this movie seemed great…now as an Engineer in my mid 30s… _[shaking head no]_ Tommy Lee/Phillip Rhee doesn’t have the necessary mass required to throw around a guy built like Triple-H or Brock Lesnar in the early 2000s
@1:24 so interesting to read the mumble jumbo they repeat on the newspaper articles. Funniest part, they have one paragraph about the East West dojo, and immediately continue with "In any event" and further talk about the government conference. LOL And helping him walk just because he has an eye patch. omg that's hilarious
Just useless information. The big German guy is from Gladiator. He was also great in Beerfest lol. Back in the day he competed In the Mr Universe competition. In fact, all the German henchmen from Beerfest were pro body builders. My favourite quote from beerfest: "If you can drink goats piss you can drink anything"
A few thoughts: First, can’t see Wayne Newton without thinking “holy crap, Wayne Newton’s hitting on mom”. (Vegas Vacation) Second, Rifftrax just uploaded their riff of the movie “A Talking Cat!?” and I can’t help but laugh at how far Eric Roberts has fallen. I know it’s cruel, but still… And he is definitely ripped in this! Third, yeah…they must have paid that showgirl a lot of money to smile while flipping the switch of a clearly piss-poor electrical apparatus. Fourth, the fruit buffet Wayne was eaten must have been all that was left of what craft services had after everyone ate all the cheese danishes and waffles at breakfast. Finally, this is funny as always. We just watched the IT Crowd, from star to finish, and it was hilarious to see the clip of Roy talking about the fire at the sea park.
I actually haven't seen Vegas Vacation! But I apparently need to now haha. Riff Tracks are basically my heroes. For sure I need to watch that episode now. Oh man IT Crowd is one of my favorite shows. I wish it had more seasons because it's run was very short.
@@RedEyeReviews The IT Crowd and Norsemen are our go to series on Netflix. And Wayne Newton’s saving grace from his early 90s “bad guy” movie roles (this and the Adventures of Ford Fairlane) was that he had a little bit of a self-deprecating sense of humor in Vegas Vacation. You might not like it, and it’s not great, but there’s some funny stuff in it.
@@RedEyeReviews Mrs The Lost One is Norwegian and she loves Norseman! Yes, the dry humor is very Norwegian and Norseman illustrates it…must be eating lutefisk and rakfisk!
Dude. The only thing I'm reminded of when I see Wayne Newton is the line he says from "The adventures of Ford Fairlane", and I quote: 'You're an island of reality in a sea of diarrhoea'.
Fun fact, in case you didn't know, Tommy and Dae Han are brothers in real life. Also Eric Roberts is Julia Roberts brother. I didn't know that till a couple years ago lol.
You should do the No Retreat No Surrender “quadrilogy”. No Retreat 1-3 and King of the Kickboxers. The latter a total Xerox of Kickboxer but still awesome.
Added to the list my friend. If you wanted to join the discord too, there is a channel in there where you can add these suggestions. Makes it a bit easier for me to keep track :)
The main bad guy Brakkas, is also the guy who gets taken out by Van Damme in Cyborg, in that scene where Van Damme does the splits above him. Brakkas was also in the movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe.
Very funny vid again Thankyou ! A few things, I was in therapy as a kid seeing poor Travis die literally never picked up on the Paris my ass line that really is racist ! Secondly my friend also watched the vid, at the end when your showing the credits the name David Boreanaz pops up as the property department assistant, Angel really was once knowbody working on kung fu flicks, googled it really was him , Thankyou for the fun vids 🤟🏻
This was as zany of a sequel as you could ask for. Phillip Rhee was giving me some very liu kang vibes in this too and with all due respect to Robin Shou, he would have been a killer liu kang. And also Baracus is also the big German dude from Gladiator. Im gonna rely on you going foreword in this series as I never had a want to watch the rest, got too run of the mill.
I remember me and a friend used to rewind the tape and play it in slow motion over and over again when we were young lol on the part where he turned maniquin... And yes I said rewind the tape, in case the new generation doesn't know what a VHS is 😂
So I know you love names and the one actor "Don't you ever touch me!" Is Patrick Kilpatrick. That dudes been in a bunch of movies, I know one with JCVD, Death Warrant. They were both excellent in that
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees) plays a character named "Backdoor Man". Brakus is played by Ralph Moehler (who would later play Conan the Barbarian in a god-awful TV show) David Boreanez (Buffy and Angel) has an uncredited appearance as a valet.
I think what he meant, and this is just a wild guess. He talks about 1 of 3 people who can beat Barrakus, he means himself, Barrakus himself, and the guy who owns/runs the club... Maybe? I don't know, these movies leave a lot up for interpretation. So you're probably right in your assessment Redeye.
I loved this movie as a kid. Did they ever explain how an Asian Tommy was really an American Indian? For some reason i doubt it was an adoption given their living situation on the rez and all. Also for another great action flick from the 80's. Firewalker with Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett Jr. Also has the dude that played Tommy's uncle in it.
Fun fact: my friends and I watched this in the theater. It was dumb and silly, and we had a great time. We loved that the movie just very casually took Tommy from being the son of a Korean woman, to being the grandson of a Native American woman and it's never addressed. A handful of people clapped when Travis died. I have to assume they were the only people apart from our group that actually saw the original.
Thank you. LOL. I never got the Native American family part either. What is their real connection to Tommy Lee? The uncle was awesome in Predator though.
I saw it in the theater with my pals too! It cribbed so much from the first Mortal Kombat game, at least in attitude, which was a huge hit at the time in the arcades and with us. Tommy's "panadudeacross" kick was VERY clearly a call to the Liu Kang fatality. Good times!
@@Sklabah For sure. Tommy was seriously channeling some Liu Kang vibes. He even looked like Liu Kang did at the time, with the black pants. Good times.
During the training montage, we (my mates and I when we were 10) used to sing tommy wants a beer and a packet of peanuts during bracus music part. Try it cos its hilarious.
Even though it went in a complete different direction, "Best Of The Best 2" (1992) is a sequel that surpassed its original.
Chris Penn is a great actor. RIP. Same goes for Roberts.
Roberts plays the the White collar criminal perfectly.
If i ever need a guy to play a creepy doctor stalker i know who to call, thats fuh sho
Thanks! I had to look up if Roberts was dead😂😂😂
I think he's a better actor than his sister horse mouth.
No
The thing I respect is they not only dress Tommy like Liu Kang from the Mortal Kombat video game, but they have him do a Liu Kang fatality to defeat the boxer. 😂
They also dress Travis like Ken from sf
Actually the wrestler. The boxer was just a nasty series of combinations.
Does he turn In to a dragon lol

Oh shit you're right, we was in Gladiator.
And Cyborg 89
And he was killed by the Rock in “the Scorpion King”
He still looked great in Beerfest as well
Star of Movies such as Far Cry and POSTAL.
Found this gem of a channel while sick with coved and have been binge watching. This review had me laughing in pain.
So glad you enjoy it! Hope you're feeling better
That mannequin's face getting wrecked by that kick literally made me do a spit take.
You are killing it with the choices! Last Dragon & No Retreat No Surrender are some favorites!
One of my favourite films from when I was a kid, same as kickboxer.. what makes a good fighting film for me is training montages, good music and a good final fight! This has all of them along with kickboxer, it’s goofy but I love it haha great review man made me laugh!
I watched this movie on vcr a million times when I was kid. It still looks awesome.
Thats awesome! I agree. It's pretty great:)
Same. I saw before i knew that there was a 1, 3&4
Before he was Sal Maroni he was Best of the Best. This is like a perfect prequel to how Sal Maroni came to power and now Batman has to take him down. That kick to the face was hilarious!
"nobody makes me bleed my own blood" might be the most badass thing I've ever heard
Right?!
@@RedEyeReviews right!!
“Scarred my perfection” is totally something that old narcissist Vega from Street Fighter would say🎭
From a literary standpoint he was like an amalgamation of Vega and Zangeif ahahahah. Since he was such a narcissist its pretty dumb to have being someone who fights people to the death as a "career" since um... AT SOME POINT YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT IN THE FACE MAN. Not even Brakus can block or dodge every kick and punch as was proven in this movie.
Dude, you literally made my year with this video.
p.s. ...."Hooouston!"
I'm so glad!! I loved watching these Best of the Best movies. Just mindless fun
Hoooston haaa ha ha ha ha
Loved the review. This movie is such a guilty pleasure for me. I've known since it first came out that it's pretty bad, but I can't help loving it.
I can’t stop laughing over that opening line. Jogging in the ocean in my socks…I just can’t stop
Lol it's probably the worst thing I can think of
@@RedEyeReviews until now I thought chewing on a beer can was bad…

Completely agree with everything you said. I never understood why Rhee wasn't in more movies.
I think Rhee was supposed to be in Mortal Kombat 1995 but the part when to Robin Shou.
Yesss!!!! You included the "don't you ever touch me" randomness 🤣🤣🤣

"Did you kill my friend?" "Easily". One of my all time favorite movie lines and I use it all the time.
Tae Kwon Do is a joke, anyway. They are just in it for the money and you have to pay to test for each belt. Ridiculous.
Awesome sequel. Love the moment when the henchman just randomly shouts, “Don’t you ever touch me!”. What happened to real explosions. And real movies.
Haha that henchman is hilarious
@@RedEyeReviews and that henchman was the sandman in death warrant
Chris Penn played a martial artist. Twice. And once after Reservoir Dogs.
My head hurts….

Oh wow that's an awesome history fact. I had no idea
Oh damn that was Evil-in from Masters Of the Universe with Dulph Lungren.
Dude, you have to admit that Best of the Best 2 had a really nice soundtrack
I honestly need to go back and relisten to it. But I am sure :)
@@RedEyeReviews if you love melodic AOR or synthwave music you'll probably love it.
During the end credits , you can listen to the theme song by Mark Free (currently Marcie), a truly amazing vocalist .

Man, you missed the best part! "I'll rip your f*ckin ears off, 'n stick 'em where the sun don't shine!" One of the hardest times I laughed as a kid lol
That is a great line
I'm so glad you put the Dodgeball clip in after dude's face hit the mirror cuz that's the first thing I thought of when it happened. 😂😂
Lol the red Indian is the guy of Predator
Good movie review
One of your best ones. Great job.
Sonny landham is why this was my favorite of the 4. This was the first thing I'd seen him in and thought he was awesome in the role.
9:50... The "Three people that could teach him to beat Brakus" SHOULD'VE been, him (Tommy's drunk uncle), Rocky (like you said),, and Thomas Janes "Punisher" (for beating the Russian "Kevin Nash")!!😂🤣👍
4:55
That right there was comedy *PERFECTION.* I couldn't 🛑 laughing!
13:43, I mean..1:52...just saying 😏. Great review like always!
I remember watching this with a couple of brothers. It's the reason I really lost an urge to fight. The movie is one of my favorites of all time.
You missed a couple things;
*#1 -* the guy at the back door whom Travis gives a half-pint of Jack Daniels to so he’ll let Walter in with him… that’s the same guy who’s Girlfriend Travis was Dancing with which started the bar fight in _Best of the Best I_
*#2 -* Ironically, Wayne Newton’s one of the highest ranked Martial Artists in the entire _Best of the Best_ franchise.
*#3 -* I’m glad you touched on how Brackus is basically Ivan Drago, but you missed the fact that this movie follows SUCH A SIMILAR formula to _Rocky IV;_ fellow fighter/close friend gets killed in a fight in first act of movie, main character/fellow fighter winds up in a fight against the fighter who killed close friend/fellow fighter to end the movie.
*NOW,* when I was a 65-Lbs. 8 year-old kid, I was a brown belt with very little concept of physics…this movie seemed great…now as an Engineer in my mid 30s…

15:37 a guy named David boreanez was the prop department assistant?
So I know you love names and the one actor "Don't you ever touch me!" Is Patrick Kilpatrick. That dudes been in a bunch of movies, I know one with JCVD, Death Warrant. They were both excellent in that
Lol he is so great in this one. Thanks for the trivia :)
Love your reviews man!
Wayne Newton played a bad guy southern officer in the tv-series North and South… And he was great! ✌🏾😊
Not as good as the first but still a very entertaining sequel.
I loved the It crowd reference as well BTW
Agreed. Haha and thank you. I love the IT Crowd
Tommy, who is Korean, has a Native American uncle. Adds up!
“You’ve marred my perfection!”
17:04
😎
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees) plays a character named "Backdoor Man".
Brakus is played by Ralph Moehler (who would later play Conan the Barbarian in a god-awful TV show)
David Boreanez (Buffy and Angel) has an uncredited appearance as a valet.
Did the kid ever get his belt? Or will he keep getting body slammed?
Hitting himself in the head twice with the stick had me dying
I think what he meant, and this is just a wild guess. He talks about 1 of 3 people who can beat Barrakus, he means himself, Barrakus himself, and the guy who owns/runs the club... Maybe? I don't know, these movies leave a lot up for interpretation. So you're probably right in your assessment Redeye.
The scene with the kids testing for their belts. One of the kids is the kid that played Rocky in 3 Ninjas!
Oh snap. Great eye!
TumTum is my favorite...because his ninja name is based on a vice
Not sure if you've covered it yet but if not you should cover showdown with billy blanks
I haven't yet, but I'll definitely add it to my list :)
"You haf scaherred my perfecshun"!!!!....lol
I loved this movie as a kid. Did they ever explain how an Asian Tommy was really an American Indian? For some reason i doubt it was an adoption given their living situation on the rez and all. Also for another great action flick from the 80's. Firewalker with Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett Jr. Also has the dude that played Tommy's uncle in it.
Did you know that Tommy was the producer on all of these movies. Idk why but that astounded me.
I love (and own) the first one, but totally forgot 2 existed until now.
Barakas is German.
Not Russian.
Hence the "scarred my perfection" line.
He is blonde, blue eyed, roided out.
Like one of Hitler's Nordic god men.
Yes,he's german. Name is Ralf Möller.He plays Conan in a shortlived Tv-Series.
That's Sonny Landham from Predator
RIP
You're a genius😂😂😂
Aww thank you!
Fun fact: my friends and I watched this in the theater. It was dumb and silly, and we had a great time. We loved that the movie just very casually took Tommy from being the son of a Korean woman, to being the grandson of a Native American woman and it's never addressed. A handful of people clapped when Travis died. I have to assume they were the only people apart from our group that actually saw the original.
Thank you. LOL. I never got the Native American family part either. What is their real connection to Tommy Lee? The uncle was awesome in Predator though.
I saw it in the theater with my pals too! It cribbed so much from the first Mortal Kombat game, at least in attitude, which was a huge hit at the time in the arcades and with us. Tommy's "panadudeacross" kick was VERY clearly a call to the Liu Kang fatality. Good times!
@@Sklabah For sure. Tommy was seriously channeling some Liu Kang vibes. He even looked like Liu Kang did at the time, with the black pants. Good times.
@@brianlagrant9757 Yeah Billy was da man!
That was a shit fact
During the training montage, we (my mates and I when we were 10) used to sing tommy wants a beer and a packet of peanuts during bracus music part. Try it cos its hilarious.
Always liked this movie,much more then first...
