Sometimes, part two is better.
Several martial arts movie sequels have managed to greatly outdo their predecessors. Martial arts films are like any other genre, in that some of their stories are specifically designed to be one-offs, while others are the beginning of a franchise. The latter tends to be a fairly common scenario, and has often led to such popular martial arts movie franchises as The Karate Kid, Kickboxer, and the Ip Man movies.
9 Ong Bak 2: The Beginning After 2003's Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior put Tony Jaa on the map, he would follow up with an even more exhilarating prequel in Ong Bak 2: The Beginning, co-directed by Jaa and his mentor Panna Rittikrai. Jaa plays Tien, a young warrior trained by a group of outlaws who seeks revenge for the murder of his parents as a child.
7 Best Of The Best 2 1993's Best of the Best 2 elevates the stakes of it 1989 predecessor to a do-or-die Colosseum smackdown, with Tommy Lee and Alex Grady determined to avenge the death of their friend Travis Brickley . Ralf Moeller's fearsome Brakus is by far the best villain of the Best of the Best franchise, an egomaniacal fighter ruling over his Colosseum as both gladiator and Caesar.
5 Ninja II - Shadow Of A Tear Scott Adkins and Isaac Florentine would create one of their crowning achievements in 2013's Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear, with Adkins's Casey Bowman out to avenge the murder of his pregnant wife. Shadow of a Tear surpasses its 2010 predecessor Ninja to an astonishing degree with Adkins unhinged as a ninja warrior with a vendetta.
