In 1989, the movie Best of the Best had a somewhat abbreviated run in theaters. Only grossing a mere $1.7 million, the movie was a major hit on home video and cable. That’s why, three years later, a sequel, Best of the Best 2, hit theaters… for a while. While the first film has maintained a certain cult status, the sequel, and the two more that followed, have been largely forgotten – until now on this edition of The Best Movie You Never Saw.
Best of the Best 2 came from the same creative team behind the original, including director Robert Radler and producer/ star Phillip Rhee. Intriguingly, it was co-written by a TV actor of the time named John Allen Nelson, who starred on Baywatch for a few seasons, played Paul The Wine Guy on Friends, and has shown up as a guest actor on most of the biggest shows on TV.

Recently I found myself in a familiar dilemma: which prized piece of Fox Movie Channel cinema should I review next? When there are so many seriously good and seriously bad movies deserving the Unvaulted touch, how can I decide? But then I turned on our channel just in time to see Wayne Newton, in a shiny shiny jacket, emceeing some sort of mortal combat cage fight in which some dude (some dude I later learned is Chris Penn!) gets kicked in the face. And instantly my problem was solved.
A lot of people get kicked in the face in Best of the Best 2. So many. And people get shot at, and Eric Roberts punches a lot of dudes, and Phillip Rhee throws at least seven guys over his shoulder (I tried to count) and breaks a lot of dudes' bones. Sometimes he even throws a bad dude over his...
