HaemovoreRex 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!

Jburns534 The movie was just pure wacky. The zoom in on their faces just made me laugh. Not a bad movie but the plot was a bit mental but the action was just great, some of the best fight scenes ever are in this movie. I would recommend you watch this movie as it is cool, always something good happening.The Special effects in the movie are not anything special and the sound effects where also pretty bad but the dubbing was pretty good. I liked John Kelly in this movie but he was at his best in Enter the Dragon but still very fit and still kicking ass. The cast is a good cast many famous Chinese actors from all sorts of martial art movies made in china.good movie!

kwhuneycutt Tattoo Connection is a cheap exploitation film featuring several veterans of kung fu cinema's glory days. Overall the film is horrible, filled with gratuitous nudity and bad acting, but there are a few nice fight sequences from the veteran cast.The bright spot of the film is Dorian Tan (Tao-liang Tan). Tan stared in such films as "The Hot, the Cool and the Vicious" and John Woo's "Hand of Death," and also tutored kung fu star John Liu (Secret Rivals, Incredible Kung Fu Mission)in the martial arts. Tan gives an excellent physical performance in the film, featuring his trademark Taekwondo high kicks.Tan plays a very unbelievable villain because there is something about him that always looks honorable and righteous. Jim Kelly (Enter the Dragon, Black Belt Jones) the international middleweight karate champ, proves again that he is a terrible actor but a decent martial artist. He gives perhaps one of the strongest martial arts performances of his career in this film.Sing Chen veteran of such films as Sammo Hung's "Iron Fisted Monk" and "New Fist of Fury" plays the villain. Sing Chen is famous for his muscular build and impressive martial arts skills. At the film's climax he faces down with both Dorian Tan and Jim Kelly in a nicely choreographed fight sequence before he meets his demise. Bolo Yeung plays a henchman and has a few funny scenes. Also making appearances in the film are Lee Hoi Sang (Magnificent Butcher, Shaolin Master Killer), Sham Chin-bo (Master of the Flying Guillotine, Secret Rivals 2), and a young Wong Yat-fei (Shaolin Soccer).Dorian Tan would go on to make more films with director Lee Tso Nam including "Challenge of Death" and "The Leg Fighters." Kelly would go on to pursue a career in pro tennis. This film features many veterans of the kung fu movie world but unfortunately they put together a film that is average at best. The weak plot, ridiculous nude scenes and politically incorrect statements weaken this film quite a bit but the above average fight scenes (especially the ones featuring Tan) make Tattoo Connection one of the best of the blaxsploitation/martial arts films.Martial Arts Rating: 7/10 Over All Rating: 5/10

bennyfuel 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!
