BLOODFIST II (1990)

MORGAN'S RATING

This time Jake must fly back to Manila in order to get to the bottom of his buddy's mysterious disappearance. But shortly after his arrival in the exotic city, he falls under the spell of a beautiful and sexy femme fetale who dupes him into fighting gladiator-style in a deadly contest set up by the local bad guy. The real surprise comes during the big match, when Jake finally learns who his opponent will be in this brutal fight-to-the-death.
