A raging Thunder

Loren Avedon stars as Scott Wylde, a young kickboxer and martial arts pro living in Thailand with his Vietnamese heiress girlfriend. When she is kidnapped by a Russian gang, Scott enlists the help of his friends Mac (Max Thayer) and Terri (Cynthia Rodrock) to rescue her. Plenty of martial arts action (punctuated with explosions and shootouts) ensues as they confront the kidnappers in the aptly named Death Mountain region.I didn't like No Retreat, no surrender much, the only highlight was seeing Van Damme, so I wasn't expecting much with this sequel. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It's an entertaining film, which has nothing to do with the first film. The actors are different namely Loren Adven, who, acting wise, is amateurish, but he's got a boyish charm. More importantly, he's a very skill fighter- fast and fluid. The fight scenes are energetic and inventive. The plot and the fights remind me of a Jackie chan film. Cynthia Rothrock also stars. Mathias Hues makes his debut here as a nasty villain with a penchant of throwing people into a crocodile-infested river. It's cheesy, humorous, and entertaining.

NRNS 2 = low budget 80's perfection

I just got the the NRNS trilogy today and watched "NRNS2". (I really only was looking to get the original because I collect van damme movies and of course it is his first action movie. But I was lucky enough to get the other 2 for free with it). I just wanted to write the IMDb fans of kung-fu and action flicks that that this was a decent low budget movie that gave me that feeling I haven't had in a while. that feeling of being a kid again and I wish I did see this one when I was a kid because it would of affected me even more. I felt like I had seen it before when I was watching it and was loving the low budget, bad acting you would expect from the time. this is a hidden classic for me now and im glad i watched it and now own it. all you need to know about nrns 1 and 2 is.............the fight scenes are wicked (even for today standards) speeding up the camera seems to be the staple of these movies (but it does make the action look hella good). And thats it....good 80's nostalgia representing and now I cant wait to see number 3 (blood brothers)

Rise of Loren Avedon

To me this is one of the best movie of its type. The chief reason being the interesting mixture of characters in this movie, and they're all good.Of course this movie stars Loren Avedon, and Cynthia Rothrock, both of whom were at their early stages of their career, but they look fresh, and good. Even better than many of their later works, so the director of this movie must have been really good.Each scenes has attention to details, and they have the clean looks to them that makes it easy on the eyes. Story is pretty good too, perfectly matched to each of the characters.This definitely is one of the best movie Loren Avedon, and Cynthia Rothrock has starred in. It's bit juvenile for me now, but when it came out, I was much younger, and it looked perfect to me at the time.
