A superior sequel, 15 ottobre 2003
Author: (mdsmith101@hotmail.com) da Stockton, UK
The always watchable Cynthia Rothrock and the dependable Richard Norton star in this follow-up to the OK original film. This time around the action has moved to Indonesia or something and Cindy's become some sort of derring-do agent on the trail of boo-hiss villains.
Anyway lots of Bad People show up and Richard Norton gets to do the old grizzled thing and kick heads a lot, then he meets Cindy and more heads get kicked.
This isn't the kind of film that should be good, but it is.
The chemistry is great between the stars, the dialogue is decent and it actually has a story!
A slight improvement, 24 dicembre 2007
Author: gridoon
In comparison to the first "Rage and Honor", this sequel comes out on top in three ways:
1) Better-shot fight scenes
2) Exotic setting (Indonesia) and higher production values (which allow for some chases and explosions along with the martial arts)
3) A good, unexpected twist near the end
On the other hand, it lacks the colorful supporting cast of the first movie (only Patrick Muldoon stands out - the villain and his henchman are generic), and in the final fight it is obvious that Richard Norton's opponent cannot measure up to him, so there's no chance of a good fight scene.
But on the whole, I found this sequel a slight improvement on the original. (**1/2)
Diamonds? What Diamonds!?!, 21 giugno 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The previous comment has it 99% right. This film works, although maybe it works more for those of us who have seen many films that have not worked (observation: films in this genre all seem to work when Richard Norton is in them).
An added bonus with this film for guys like me, is that it does have a few select moments of "so bad it is good" (such as the acting level of the under-cover CIA agent, Tommy's father and one of Buntao's henchmen) SPOILER ALERT: but fear not, all get killed ...
The one percent that the previous comment fails to mention (although a couple others have, but in an inaccurate way) is the acting of Frances Taumbaun in the role of Buntao (I'm sure I have mis-spelled his name, and I could correct it simply by back-clicking, but alas I am at work and well, just let me get back to the point ...)
At first viewing, Taumbaun may seem as though he were over-acting, maybe first thru 10th viewing ... but trust me when you get to that coveted 11th viewing of any true martial arts movie fan, you will then begin to realize that he is actually a very good actor. In fact, despite being a big Richard Norton fan it is Taumbaun who ALMOST steals this movie 11th-23rd viewings. Dare I say it: I love this guy. Rage and Honor III should be made with Buntao coming back for some revenge.
Seriously, I'll write it. Anybody want to shell out some dough? Lets bring back Norton, Taumbaun and of course Cynthia Rothrock and complete this trilogy!
An outrage and a dishonor., 3 ottobre 2006

***SPOILERS*** Let's start with the "good" of this film--the serviceable acting of Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton. The rest of the acting is awful (this isn't aided by the atrocious script). The worst culprit is the villain, Buntao, the head of an Asian crime syndicate (played by Frans Tumbuan). I was laughing my head off as he was expressing his "fury" over having lost a bunch of money; horrid performance. Patrick Muldoon isn't much better, and his "it's a hostile takeover" line (that's the remainder of the title of this film) was delivered about as badly as one could do it. There are no other main characters, but no other actor/actress distinguished him/herself in this film. We next come to the plot. This should tell you all you need to know: In the original "Rage and Honor," Cynthia Rothrock, who plays Chris Fairchild, was a teacher in the inner city. Now, she's a C.I.A. agent (or was it some other governmental agency--sorry, but this film was so bad that I don't even remember). Hmmm...I can imagine what that C.I.A. application process was like. Interviewer: What past job experience do you have? Chris: I was a teacher. Interviewer: Okay; you're hired! I only give it a "2" because of some decent acting and a nice plot twist at the end (though we know that Tommy (Muldoon), the secret villain, will be caught).
Richard Norton is cool, this movie is further proof, 17 aprile 2005
Author: AwesomeWolf da Australia
Not having seen the first 'Rage and Honor', but being a fan of Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock, I picked up 'Rage and Honor II' from an ex-rental stand of cheap videos at a local video rental store. I must say that I was pretty impressed.
Rothrock plays Kris Fairchild, a U.S. Government agent undercover in Indonesia investigating a money laundering operation. Norton plays Preston Michaels, an ex-cop hiding out in Indonesia and running a boxing gym. After they both get a shot at beating up the same thugs, Fairchild and Michaels find themselves up against local crime syndicate lead by Buntao (Frans Tumbuan).
Naturally, as a direct-to-video martial arts movie, little attention is paid to plot, dialog, acting, etc. Don't get me wrong though, the plot seems a little TOO developed to belong in a martial arts movie, but that gets balanced out by some of the terrible dialog.
Action wise, the movie is pretty good. Norton and Rothrock give a good showcase of their butt-kicking abilities. There are some good fight scenes, and the requisite number of explosions and car chases to keep all action fans satisfied.
Richard Norton needs to be in more movies. His awesome Australian accent makes every other character sound like dorks. I'm quite impressed by the number of times he managed to use the term '****ing crazy' in this movie. I probably should have counted. Next time.
'Rage and Honor II' is a good martial arts movie, but that's all. Fans of martial arts, or action movies in general, should give it a go - 7/10

An excellent martial arts film., 7 maggio 2002
Author: steve-862 da London, England
This film would still be quite good without the martial arts, but lets face it when we have a film with Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock, we expect to see a good deal of fighting and that we do.
The fight scenes are very good and the story is decent. There is a twist to the plot, plenty of action all the way and good stuntwork.
