After the visceral dynamite of THE STREETFIGHTER this one comes as a bit of a disappointment, but check it out for a couple of outrageous sequences. What really sucks is the overdependence on flashback footage from the original and some truly nonsensical plot points (*SPOILER* When escaping from a police station, rather than use the door, Chiba kicks through a wall and runs away!!!). The fight on a ski slope is worth waiting for though, and the end of that fight will make you do a double-take. Points are subtracted for Chiba's incredibly annoying "hipster" girl sidekick. Halfway through the film you'll want to see him knock her teeth out! Overall, not a bad way to waste an hour-and-a-half, but do not expect anything near the original.
