The Michael Jai White sequel ' Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown ' will be removed from Netflix soon. The film, which serves as the sequel to 2008's 'Never Back Down', marked Michael Jai White 's directorial debut.
It was first released at ActionFest on April 8, 2011, before being released directly on DVD several months later on September 13, 2011. The film spawned two follow-ups, 'Never Back Down: No Surrender' (2016) and 'Never Back Down: Revolt' (2021), both of which were also directed by White.
However, audiences were not too fond of 'Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown', with a mediocre 50% score on Rotten Tomatoes reflecting this. In the story, Max Cooperman, who played a key role in the original movie, works on organizing The Beatdown, a secret MMA tournament. Joining forces with his mentor, retired professional UFC athlete Casey 'Case' Walker Jr, the pair recruits four amateur fighters for the event.
They include talented wrestler Mike Stokes, former boxer Zack Gomes, a talented but novice martial arts fighter Tim Newhouse, and record store clerk Justin Epstein, who faces frequent bullying. The group grows close while training, learning important lessons from Walker while also appreciating the work they are doing.
However, law enforcement charges Walker with violating his probation, complicating the team's progress. Realizing that a traitor is among them, the pair work to root them out, while Mike resolves to work hard to win the competition.
In addition to directing, White stars as Walker. Meanwhile, Chris Hauty wrote the screenplay, while Evan Peters reprises his role of Cooperman from the first film. Also appearing in key roles are Abdul Azim Naushad, Daniel Kaluuya, and Jackson Rathbone. The film's removal from Netflix comes as a surprise to fans, who had grown to appreciate the film's unique storyline and action-packed sequences.
The film's removal is a reminder that even the most popular films can be taken away from us at any moment. The film's removal from Netflix also raises questions about the future of the 'Never Back Down' franchise, and whether we will see more films in the series. Only time will tell
