Format:DVD
I own all 5 Kickboxer movies and this is the one smack in the middle. With Kurt Sloane (Van Damme) killed by the evil Tong Po, David (Sasha Mitchell) remains the last of the Sloane's left.
In this movie we get a Rocky V style story, leading to David verses Tong Po (Michel Qissi). The good thing is at least the REAL Tong Po is in this one (unlike 4). He appears more sadistic and dangerous than in his first appearance, however Sasha's fight skills don't look nearly as impressive as Qissi or Van Damme but look more Kickboxing than Van Damme's did.
Overall the movie delivers a better story than the first, however there is ALOT less fighting and the movie seems to go really slowly, due to it being like 70 mins before David even trains for 5 minutes and Tong Po even appear.. then we get the fight and over.
Still though the story is good and the film is different from the first, yet still nearly as good.
Below is my ratings of the rest of the series, all worth checking my reviews on.
1. Kickboxer (9/10)
2. Kickboxer 5: Redemption (8.5/10)
3. Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (7.5/10)
4. Kickboxer 3: The Art of War (5.5/10)
5. Kickboxer 4: The Aggressor (3/10)

ranks up with the first one
26 Jun 2005
Format:DVD
Its hard to believe that some people gave this movie a negative review just because it didn't have Jean Claude Van Damme in it. Sasha Mitchell does a good job in this one. He plays David Sloan, the younger brother of Jean Claude's character who we learn was murdered by former champion Tong Po at the end of the first Kickboxer. The trainer (I don't know his name) from the first Kickboxer comes to help David prepare for his fight with Tong Po. Yes, like the first movie Kicboxer 2 is about avenging the death of a brother and like the first it delivers good martial arts action along with the return of Tong Po. As with the first movie, the Kickboxer 2 dvd has no features and is not widescreen.

Sasha Mitchell wins hearts!
31 Dec 1999
Sasha Mitchell is far fron his Step by Step family and for good reason! Whereas he does not put Jean-Claud Van Damme to shame, he does a great job of filling the martial arts masters shoes! Definatly worth buying!

KICKBOXER 2 is a Hit!!
5 April 2006
Format:DVD
KICKBOXER 2 has great fighting and action, with a good story. This continues with Sasha Mitchell (Step By Step), as Jean Claude Van Damme's younger brother. Instead of returning, Van Damme went to make the movie 'Double Impact.' Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Dennis Chan (Kickboxer) are great additions to THE ROAD BACK. The KICKBOXER stories are really raw for the action movies of that time period. Sasha Mitchell probably does his best performance of his career. After enjoying this, continue with KICKBOXER 3 & 4!
