In a Las Vegas set underground fighting ring called The Colosseum, rich sickos cheer as men break each other’s bones and erupt blood. Having triumphed in martial arts competitions, the three friends Tommy (Phillip Rhee), Alex (an extremely fit Eric Roberts) and Travis (Chris Penn) have settled nearby, where they run a studio. Travis, seeking the adrenaline rush of hand to hand combat, challenges the presiding champion of the club, Brakus (Ralf Moeller) who shows no mercy and gladly obeys his audiences’ calls to snuff out his opponent. Seeking revenge, Tommy and Alex undergo rigorous training before they face off against Brakus.

The best of the four part series, Best of the Best II is an ultra-violent action-packed ride that includes Wayne Newton as the club emcee and Sonny Landham as an alcoholic adoptive brother who pulls it together to help our heroes. If you have yet to experience the pleasures of these movies, now is your chance to get in the ring!
