DVD Review "ONG BOK 2" Score C- 71%

Where the first one of this series is good this one fails. The first movie was all about the crazy stunts that are without wires or special effects, where the stunt guys take a severe beating in almost every scene. This one is a mish mash of the lead trying out and of course mastering various new martial arts. This one has nothing to do with the first movie. Its not a sequel and the only reason that its ONG BOK 2 is because its the same star from the first one. There is nothing about it that it tied to the first film. This is just a jungle kid who is almost killed until some martial arts pirates bust in on the village of evil natives and save him. Then adopt him, teach him all their martial skills and make him second in command of all the pirates. Of course there is the training sequences and finally a new run in with the evil natives that results in ass kicking. This one is all over the place and should have been called something else. If you are a fan of the first film this one will disappoint. If you just want to see some OK martial arts fighting its OK. Where the first one had me in awe of some of the scenes this one mostly bored me.
