Set a year after Kurt defeated Tong Po in Thailand, where did this brother surface from? He isn't mentioned in the first film nor the gym where they both ran or talked about. I saw the trailers for this back in the 90s and never got the chance to watch it, 30 years later here I am finally getting to see it.
Dennis Chan returns as Xian with his animal stories he likes to tell, Sasha Mitchell plays David, who is injured after returning to the ring and is trained by Xian to be stronger. Peter Boyle plays the somewhat shady fight promoter who evidently seems to have a heart at some point. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa plays the sponsor for Tong Po with Michael Qissi returnig as the Thai Fighter. Like what Nicholasrope says it does have one or two plot holes, noticeable goofs/errors, at the same time it was entertaining. Attachment 240992 |
The plot hole that gets me is that Tong Po was able to stroll into a ring at a sanctioned event with Officials there and beat up someone and no security and/or police able to stop him yet they were able to restrain David.
I get that it was a necessary part of the storyline but they could have done the beatdown at a Gym for a sparring session.
Still a good film though, Kickboxer III has a nice change of pace as well as storyline, watch it if you can.
