A valuable jewel is stolen by a gang in Hong Kong and the insurance company in America sends a man called Lucas to recover the gem. Lots of action ensues as he takes on the gang led by the dreaded Boss Lu assisted by his old friend Inspector Lu (no relation). Lucas is helped by ex-gang member Fat Dog and eventually also by Tung Hao who is one of the gang after Boss Lu mistreats Tung Hao's inamorata Nana. A typical kung fu film of the 1970s with nothing new but the final action scene on the ship is pretty good. Sometimes called Black Belt Jones II though the main connection with that film is Jim Kelly but he plays Lucas not Jones. It does have a good cast. Jim Kelly of course looking great, Tao-Liang Tan flashing his legs, Sing Chen as Boss Lu and the legendary Bolo Yeung playing Big Ox. Hoi Sang Lee appears but unfortunately only briefly in an early scene. The version I saw had the usual entertaining dubbing of the actors. In the end an elderly man swallows the jewel but its recovery is not portrayed, thankfully.An ordinary movie perhaps but any film where Jim Kelly dances and Bolo Yeung sings can't be disliked.

Things get off to a cracking start in this when a Chinese guy walks casually over to a jeep full of thugs and after giving them some haughty lip (comprising some truly priceless dialogue!), gives them a fine ass whooping! So sets the standard for this ostensibly unrelated sequel to the original Robert Clouse directed blaxploitation classic. The awesomely cool Jim Kelly appears here as an ex CIA operative named Lucas who's mission is to retrieve a priceless diamond that has been stolen by an underworld gang.Yep, as you can probably guess, plenty of kung fu action, prolific nudity and some gems of dialogue inevitably ensue as our ultra cool hero pursues his objective.Whilst an enjoyable enough affair in its own right, it has to be said that this sadly not a patch on the original film. Nonetheless, Kelly is on good form (although sadly dubbed!) and there's enough action to keep ones attention throughout. Best of all though, there are a plethora of unintentionally hilarious scenes on offer all backed by some super groovy seventies music! How much cooler can you get?! Hell, it's enough to make one yearn to don seventies fashion, grow an afro, take to the streets and administer a major ass kicking to societies vermin!

Black Belt Jones 2 stars Jim Kelly, the famous afro-clad co-star to Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. Jim Kelly is a very entertaining actor to watch; the afro, the bad acting, the camp 70's tracksuits will all make you chuckle! The best martial arts in the film come from "Flash-legs Tan". The opening fight scene, though obviously coreographed, shows just what an amazing kicker he is! Fast and sharp. Jim Kelly on the otherhand...his kicks have no chamber, his supporting leg always seems bent, he's tense and his moves are often sped up. No disrespect to him...I mean can clearly score points in Karate Competitions (He has won a few) and he is the comical man! But he isn't the...erm...sharpest or most technical martial artist around and Mr Tan seems to make his fighting seem particularly poor in the movie. Also, on the back of the box, it says the hunt for the diamond leads him into a world of "strippers and hookers" which is in no way true...Mr Kelly leads HIMSELF into a world of strippers and hookers, which I found particularly amusing...this also results in plenty of uneccessary nudity, which isn't a bad thing!! Overall, not a bad film to watch, very entertaining, but certainly not a martial arts extravaganza!

This is the third Jim Kelly movie that I have seen, and it's stupid as usual. Although lame, it has better fight scenes and storyline than "Hot Potato". His acting is bad, but he makes you laugh anyway through the movie. I just wish they could have made a better ending to this one; it ends abruptly after he monster kicks the Boss off a ship.
