Red Scorpion 2

As a fan of the great Jennifer Rubin I watched this odd action movie late at night. Well, it's really just another one of those silly action movies maybe especially aimed at a certain (American) audience. Jennifer is wasted and the only really talented actor in this movie.

This movie is basically another ridiculous C-grade action movie. It's the kind of drivel that's right at home at 4:00AM on Showtime. I still can't figure out how this film is in any way connected to the original Red Scorpion. It's not a real sequel, it's just using the name to sell itself.

At last! A movie for US, where the bad guys are neo nazis and the good guys get trained by a commie! SEE skinheads get mown down! SEE the fuhrer-like character get incinerated! SEE teamwork and comradeship work more efficiently than rugged individualism! ALL POWER TO THE RED SCORPION COLLECTIVE!

I found RED SCORPION to be a mildly entertaining action flick with a few good fight scenes, but nothing more. Then a couple days after I saw the first RED SCORPION, I saw RED SCORPION 2 on cable. To my surprise, RED SCORPION 2 was a lot better than the first. The action scenes were better, the acting was an improvement over the acting the first film [though it still wasn't very good], and the movie was actually clever. What I also like about it was you wouldn't have to see the first RED SCORPION to understand this one. I think that should be true with all sequels.
