Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJean-Claude Van Damme turned down this movie to do Double Impact (1991) instead.
- GoofsDavid is supposed to be the brother of Kurt and Eric from the first movie, but his last name is spelled differently (Sloan instead of Sloane).
- Quotes
David Sloan: I tell you what...
[places hands behind his back and leans forward]
David Sloan: You take your best shot.
- Alternate versionsAt the time of its release, there was a longer version which showed Tong Po training and re-fighting Jean-Claude Van Damme's character Kurt Sloane (played by Emmanuel Kervyn this time). By all accounts the fight scenes were better than the actual end-fight, so the scenes containing Kurt, Eric and Xian's niece Mylee were cut down to a few seconds, showing Kurt Sloane with the bullet hole in the head and Tong Po walking away.

Featured review
Kick-boxer 2: the road back
Two of his brothers from the 1st film are dead, so David Sloan, who teaches martial arts in Los Angeles, reluctantly faces the champion (Matthias Rues) of a new kickboxing association to fund his gym. David wins, but abandons the belt of the champion, denouncing the environment dominated by corruption and drugs and for this he suffers harsh reprisals. Wounded, he receives a visit from Xian, the master who led his brother Kurt to conquer the champion, Tong-Po, in Thailand. Soon David will have to face Tong-Po ....
Not a bad film, but needlessly to say it doesn't measure up to its faster-paced and livelier Prequel starring Van Damme. For one it doesn't have that plot hook or is as gripping and fun. Sacha Mitchell fights well but lacks Van Damme's charm and passion, but it's still watchable. The fights are more brutal than the first, flinchingly so. Dennis Chan adds some humour as he takes David's side. Michel Qissi as Tong-Po is as intimidating as ever and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa does well as a villain who wants to regain his honour by defeating a Sloan.
