Kickboxer, Jake, accidentally kills a man in the ring, and decides to retire. Years later, his old friend calls him to let him know he's in trouble on some island, but then Jake gets kidnapped and taken to the island anyway. Turns out that friend is in on the kidnapping, now in the employ of a drug lord--that drug being a steroid that makes fighters very quickly ultra strong, without being traceable. In front of prospective drug buyers, Jake and other fellow kidnapped martial artist specialists are forced to fight drugged up, psychotic fighters...to the death.
Jake Raye, as Jake in 1990s Bloodfist II, is not a good actor...but he is an incredible, award-winning kickboxer. No one in this film is a good actor, and in fact most are so bad they come around to being enjoyable. However, they are all talented martial artists in widely different fields, and they are all pitted in highly entertaining fights, against massive, steroid-fueled monster men. Jake kicks so many people. Composer, Nigel Holton, soundtracks the insanity with an avalanche of saxophone and pan flute. Bloodfist II is not a good movie. But if you like fighting and pan flute as much as I do, it is a highly entertaining movie, and I enjoyed it immensely.
