    Wow, only 20 days to shoot Hard Target 2!???? On obviously a much lower budget, I'd say it's a pretty great accomplishment! I whish Scott Adkins could play in higher budget films, as he's an exceptional stunt man and martial artist, and good actor, as demonstrated in Avengement, IP Man 4, and other action movies!

    sounds pretty much like I expected. servicable DTV-Action with Adkins kicking ass.

    I greatly enjoy Rossatron's expression of thoughtful and tightly reasoned opinions about action film style and technique in sentences that sound just the slightest bit like a the musings of slightly tipsy Machiavelli, or a particularly philosophical Borgia.
    For example: "If you can't afford to have someone's throat slit, or you don't have the time to reshoot over and over in case it doesn't work, why ... slit ... that ... throat?"

      Only slightly tipsy?

    Well, don't expect something like Hard Target 1, that's it.

      @Shatterbot : I litterally wrote down to WB to ask them to take Scott Adkins if Ben Affleck stops.

    If the movie feels like they really gave their best, and in this case where you can undeniably see that it´s the case, then i think it deserves a chance, even more if it´s on a small budget but manages to look like it´s more quality entertainment.
    You can tell that they cared, so i care as a viewer, but no one says that i have to love it, so i "just" like it.
    That´s how i see it, good video mate ;)

    I sat through the spoilers just to see another one of your videos! I'll be sure to watch the original now though, whenever I saw the poster for it I was automatically turned off by Van Damme's hair haha keep up the great videos man!

      Thanks! I disputed the claim, and hopefully after tomorrow it will be settled and fully in the clear.

    not as good as the original but OK on its own, maybe it might've been a little better if Isaac Florentine directed it?

      I actually liked that fight with Desh quite a bit. It probably had the best use of shaky cam for a fight ever.

    Hard Target 2 (2016) Staring Scott Adkins is a sequel to Jean Claude Van Damn’s 1993 movie.
    I love Hard Target 2 most fans don’t they keep comparing it the original well they shouldn’t do that they are two very different movies with different traits of Action.
    The Hard Target JCVD wasn’t even the main character he was more of side character helping a girl find her father and gets roped into a bad situation. The main action with him doesn’t even happen till the last 41 minutes of the movie and he is not even playing the game no money belt no nothing they are hunting him because he is a witness to there crimes. I will admit this movie is better because it has more action but I feel like this movie could have been done better.
    Hard Target 2 on the other hand Scott is the main character front and center he plays the game the hunt begins 29 minutes into the movie. It’s a low budget film so it takes place in jingle but there are lots of explosions, gun battles and awesome fight scenes. Scott meets two villagers and they are wanting to free there village and this drives the story of the movie.
    Hard Target 2 is awesome it actually has a story a man looking for redemption is dead inside feels like he can’t move on but then he is pushed to the limit and finds something worth fighting for.
    The Original Hard Target most of the backstory of JCVD was cut but all he was doing on this movie was avenging the deaths of his friends father and his friend too but before that he was trying to get a boat wtf.

    JCVD WAS BEING CHASED NOT HUNTED HE WASN'T EVEN PLAYING THE GAME HE WAS BEING CHASED FOR WITNESSING A MURDER. SCOTT ADKINS WAS BEING HUNTED AND PLAYING THE GAME THE WHOLE MOVIE AND BESIDES HARD TARGET 2 HAD NO SIDE PLOT INVOLVING A GIRL LOOKING FOR HER FATHER LOL.
