Looks like a hodgepodge

Fighting Fighter 2 was seen last week. I always thought Tom Yum Kung was Boxer 2, but it turned out to be just a means of propaganda. But the expectations are too high, and it is inevitable to be disappointed. I feel that this sequel is far less beautiful than 1 and it can't even keep up with Tom Yum Goong.

Tonija seems to want to develop his action style, but in fact he was going to fight his Muay Thai, but the film is a bit nondescript. There is a section of articulation in Tom Yum Kung that is very enjoyable. Fighting Fighter 2 is more like a hodgepodge. The section that comes up has several different styles. Japanese swords, Persian scimitars and Chinese martial arts are very strange. The Japanese samurai appeared in Thailand. Of course, I don’t need to go into this, but many enemies in this movie are a little bit inexplicable.

The main line of the story is revenge. The protagonist’s family members are killed and adopted by bandits to practice martial arts, become the bandit leader, and then take revenge. The strange thing is that the adoptive father became the protagonist's subordinate to kill his father's enemy. very messy. Tonija didn't say a few words, he always looked at him. Boxing fighter 1 is for the Buddha and Tom Yum Kung is for the elephant. This is both sacred in Thailand, and it is not an exaggeration to serve as the main story of the story. But Fighting Fighter 2 is just for revenge, and it's obviously different. The level of blood in the film is also much more vigorous than the previous two, and it is the blood spattered by the machete at every turn.

Action movies can not criticize the plot, but it is the first element to play refreshingly. Many action scenes in this movie are familiar, similar to Hong Kong action movies, especially when fighting an old black, the action of locking the old black to the ground is obviously learned from some movies (unrestricted fighting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?), of course, to say something nice is a tribute. There are fewer elbow and knee blows in Muay Thai, and the wonderful scene of leaping up and knocking the opponent's head is gone. The tiger crane pair at the beginning was quite thunderous with the Japanese samurai, but the three-section sticks and meteor hammers appeared in the back. There is another person who seems to be a Chinese martial arts genre with a big braid... but the level is really bad, he is a Chinese Kung Fu beginner.

Finally, there is a guy who resembles a big bird, looks very similar to Liu Ye in Promise, his eyes are fierce. , But not a few hits. Is it going to be a sequel?

This is Tony Jia’s self-directed and self-acted, it seems to need to continue to hone. A good actor is not necessarily a good director, besides, Tony Jia's acting skills are indeed mediocre.

    If it continues to suck, Ning Hao can find Tony Jia to play the iced Thai guy in "Crazy Racing"...

    To be honest, Muay Thai is more deadly than Chinese martial arts, so handsome!
