‘Balance of Power’ is a fast and fun little programmer that gets by on the likability of its star and the pairing of him with the always great Mako.

There’s plenty of silly villains, hammy dialogue and unnecessary boob shots to keep you entertained.

While it’ll never scale the heights of its Hong Kong counterparts of the day, this fast and fun sequel still delivers the Rothock, Norton and Cooke action goods.

I definitely recommend this to those who enjoyed the earlier ‘No Retreat,No Surrender’ films and similar mindless, but well styled, action flicks.

With a predictable script and some seriously under-par actors, it was never really going to amount to much more than a set of average fight sequences.
