Wizard-8 I've seen most of the movies on Cynthia Rothrock's filmography, and I have yet to see a movie of hers that is actually good. I will admit that this particular effort isn't as bad as some of her other films (like 24 HOURS TO MIDNIGHT), but all the same I found this movie tough to sit through at times. It is filmed entirely in Indonesia, but the locations chosen are almost all so generic that one might swear the movie was filmed in Los Angeles. Those who rent this movie with the feeling you'll get to see Rothrock kicking a lot of butt will be disappointed. Her fights aren't that spectacular (actually, *none* of the fights in the movie are exciting), and she doesn't have that many fight scenes. In fact, at times Rothrock's character seems to be an afterthought - she appears somewhat less in the movie that you might think. But the biggest fault of the movie is that it's really dull at times, fairly lifeless and unenergetic. You can safely skip this one.

Chilla Black usfeul addition the the old school 80's & 90's martial arts genre, sadly these days they don't make 'em like they used to. I think this film is pretty good, I agree with an earlier comment about the exotic feel of the movie based on its location. Some of the Norton fights scenes (in particular the bar fight) are up there with the best of the 80's/90's genre. Totally unsure about the villain, Tommy - i'd tackle his ass, he reminds me of a rich kiddie bozo straight out of high school, and that is just plain stupid him fighting Norton for a bag of diamonds. In this movie Rothrock doesn't do a heck of a lot of high kicks but the finishing move at the end is worth hitting the rewind button once or twice for. Rage and Honor II is a decent fight film.

wolf1282 ***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).

steve-862 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.
