The second best in the series

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2002)

While multiple sequels tend to stink after a while, this film really bucked the trend. Sure, the bad 80s rock was cheesy and unnecessary, but it proves to be the most accessible of the entire series. Add in the whole USA-vs.-Russia theme, and you have a sure winner. Fun, and most certainly uplifting, this film is really the second best in the series. No one could have played Ivan Drago as well as Dolph Lundgren.
