Hard Target 2 (2016)

Hard Target 2 roars onto the screen as a pulse-pounding successor to the 1993 classic, swapping Van Damme’s swagger for Scott Adkins’ raw martial arts prowess. Directed by Roel Reiné, this standalone sequel delivers a relentless, high-octane thrill ride. Adkins plays Wes Baylor, a fallen MMA fighter lured to Thailand for a supposed payday fight, only to become prey in a sadistic billionaire’s jungle hunt . Robert Knepper’s chilling Aldrich adds a venomous edge to the cat-and-mouse game.
The Thai jungle becomes a character itself—treacherous, wild, and unforgiving—as Wes dodges bullets, flash floods, and elite hunters. Adkins’ fight choreography is a brutal ballet, blending bone-crunching kicks with desperate survival instinct. The pacing never falters, each set piece exploding with tension and grit . While nodding to the original, Hard Target 2 carves its own path with modern flair and a lean, mean narrative. It’s a shot of pure adrenaline—vengeance, redemption, and raw will collide in a spectacle that action fans will devour.
