Loren Avedon stars as Scott Wylde, a young kickboxer and martial arts pro living in Thailand with his Vietnamese heiress girlfriend. When she is kidnapped by a Russian gang, Scott enlists the help of his friends Mac (Max Thayer) and Terri (Cynthia Rodrock) to rescue her. Plenty of martial arts action (punctuated with explosions and shootouts) ensues as they confront the kidnappers in the aptly named Death Mountain region.
I didn't like No Retreat, no surrender much, the only highlight was seeing Van Damme, so I wasn't expecting much with this sequel. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It's an entertaining film, which has nothing to do with the first film. The actors are different namely Loren Adven, who, acting wise, is amateurish, but he's got a boyish charm. More importantly, he's a very skill fighter- fast and fluid. The fight scenes are energetic and inventive. The plot and the fights remind me of a Jackie chan film. Cynthia Rothrock also stars. Mathias Hues makes his debut here as a nasty villain with a penchant of throwing people into a crocodile-infested river. It's cheesy, humorous, and entertaining.
