Amazon.com:
In this elaborate 1993 sequel to the 1989 karate-action feature, three masters and friends lose one of their own when Travis (Chris Penn) is killed during an illegal fight held in a secret society for gladiators (and well-heeled spectators) operating within a dance club. His death comes at the hands of a chemically-altered super-fighter, Brakus (Ralph Moeller), and is witnessed by the son (Edan Gross) of Travis’ black-belt pal, Alex (Eric Roberts). Alex and Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee) try to get to the bottom of Travis’ demise, but find themselves running instead from the club’s owner (Wayne Newton), who sends an army of killers to take out Walter and the others. The only solution for the good guys: take on Brakus, a process that involves special training from an unlikely source and a lot of dodging of various villains. Best of the Best director Bob Radler returns for another round with some of the same characters, and delivers a crisp and engaging revenge story with an above-average respect for the audience’s intelligence. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - BotB2: A Totally Different Movie
After experiencing the lingering afterglow of a romance-fueled orgasm (in BotB1), it's funny how porn suddenly becomes a total turn-off. That's how this second in the quadrology made me feel.
Unless someone can enjoy a technique (Rhee) vs. unskilled muscle (Moeller), I suppose.
Unlike some movie franchises which was from the beginning centered on a personal character (Rocky, Batman, Vampires...), BotB1 is about training camp, team-building, athlete's mix of emotions (fear-ego-vengeful), ... Read More
Rating: - Supurb!
Berst of the best 2 is a great martial arts cult flick. not great acting but who needs it when all you want to see are some great martial artists doing what they do best.
Rating:  - Long Live Phillip Rhee!!!
It's sad that it took so long for one of the all-time best American martial arts movies to be released on DVD, but here it is, in all it's glory.
Picking up several years after BEST OF THE BEST left off, BEST OF THE BEST 2 begins with Alex (Eric Roberts) Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee), and Travis (the late Chris Penn) running a Tae Kwon Do/Hapkido school in Las Vegas. Travis has been competing in The Coliseum, and illegal kickboxing circuit in the city owned by the fearsome, appropriately named Brackus ... Read More
Rating:  - Not nearly as good as the first Best of the Best, but still enjoyable
The problem is that part 1 is one of my top 20 or 30 favorite movies of all time and it had a story that felt very real. Part 2 doesn't even try to act like it takes place in the real world. The story is good, but gets interrupted by too much overacting by the villains and the main henchman. Luckily, there is plenty of action. The story is about underground cage fighting with no rules and the fights in the ring at the end are fantastic. While the fights are completely stupid, Phillip Rhee is definitely one ... Read More
Rating: - An unforgetable movie...
I liked too much this movie. I compare this movie and I say that is much better than the first one. The scenes where Tommy Lee (Philip Rhee) excuted Hapkido techniques to the thugs is awesome. In the other hand, I didn't like the performance of Eric Roberts. It seems that he excuted the same techniques from the first one of the series(Best of the Best 1). The movie has a great plot story and the final scene where Tommy fought the big guy "Bracus" has too much to tell. In general..I give 5 stars to the DVD. I recommended ... Read More
