Then, a foreign gang brazenly comes to the hospital to hunt him down. See full summary » Eric and Kurt Sloane are the descendants of a well-known Venice, California-based family of martial artists.

Kurt has always been in older brother, Eric's shadow, as he lacks the instincts needed to become a champion.

Against Kurt's concerns, Eric accepts a paid offer and travels to Thailand to challenge the Muay Thai champion Tong Po and fails with dire consequences. He trains with his brother's mentor, Durand, for a Muay Thai fight against the merciless champion, Tong Po.

Despite being billed more as a sequel, it's actually a remake, and it's yet another of the soulless, sanitised, politically correct new reboots that sticks two fingers in the face of the no holds barred, take no prisoners 80s original.

Despite the musclebound, well honed, martial arts stars on display, instead of our moneysworth, what we are given is a series of tepid, watered down fight sequences, with a boring, unengaging story and a gormless looking lead character who looks too much like some English stand up comedian.
