Although there are good action scenes, it is not as violent as its predecessor. The funny thing is that the classic action star Chuck Norris was the editor of this movie (according to the credits) and RZA also composed the soundtrack for this sequel. It is not surprising that this installment has dropped in level, since it was only released in home format and critics, like the public, considered it inferior to its predecessor and the truth is that it does not surprise me. Of course, no more installments were produced and it was better that way, since the first film is unique and maintains the essence of classic martial arts films. I would say that these movies are more for those who like classic martial arts movies and from my point of view I think that the first movie deserves to be considered cult in the future. I give this sequel an 8/10.
