Cage II: The Arena of Death (1994)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

If there is one man that shouldn't be an actor, it's Lou Ferrigno. Not that I don't like the guy, it's just that he acts worse than almost everyone else on the planet. The fight scenes he is in are also a total disaster. I guess Ferrigno was cast only for his body-mass, but that's not enough at all. Luckily, Ferrigno hasn't got the lead role in this film. Not that the guy who has it is any better, he is just as bad as Ferrigno. In the movie, he's supposed to be some kind of fighting champion who beats everyone. Because of that, it's just too stupid when the guy is fat, unfit and lacks even the tiniest amount of martial arts skills. I guess even Toby Maguire could kick this guy out without effort. And personally, I would like to kick this load of garbage out of my DVD-collection.

This is a sequel to "The Cage" again starring Lou Ferrigno, from "The Incredible Hulk" TV series, and Reb Brown. Billy (Lou) is captured and once more forced to fight in caged death matches against all manner of Martial Artists. Scott (Reb) must try to find his best friend before it is too late! Despite the low budget dialogue this is a fairly good example of its genre, with lots of varied techniques and combat styles on display. Lou looks as buff as ever, Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee is rather lovely as the romantic interest in this film.

I saw the preview to this movie a while ago,and I thought it looked cool and had some great fighting scenes.But I was wrong the story and acting is one of the worst I have seen and the fighting scenes is bad coreographed.It almost looks like the people in the fighting scenes dont know martial arts.I had hoped for a movie like Shoot Fighter,the concept is the same,but Shoot fighter is 100 times better.The story in this movie is about a tournement where two people gets locked in a cage and have to fight each other until one of them is dead. This concept does ofcourse make this movie very hardcore,and strong to watch for someone. But like I said the people dont use stylish martial arts,they instead just stand infront of eachother and beat eachother to death.Bad martial arts with horrible acting,but it is brutal,(I have to give it that)

This movie was about a man kidnaped and drugged and forced to fight in illegal Cage fights. The fight scenes are brutal but the movie has some tender scenes between the man and a lovely young girl. If you like martial arts you will enjoy that part of this movie. I especially enjoyed watching Frankie Avina who played the "Black Hand Leader". He was a bad guy but was so beautiful to watch as he was fighting the good guys. There was a lot of martial arts type fighting in Cage II.
