Hard Target 2 (2016) is an action film directed by Roel Reiné and serves as a sequel to the 1993 movie Hard Target, which was directed by John Woo and starred Jean-Claude Van Damme. The sequel stars Scott Adkins, a well-known martial artist and action star, and is a direct-to-video film that follows a similar “man-hunted” storyline, with intense action sequences and thrilling chases.
The film centers on Wes “The Jailor” Baylor (Scott Adkins), a skilled mixed martial artist who is haunted by a tragic event in the ring that resulted in the accidental death of his best friend during a fight. Trying to escape his guilt and shame, Wes moves to Thailand, where he continues fighting in underground matches for money.
Wes is offered a large sum to participate in what he believes is another high-stakes fight. However, he quickly discovers that he’s been tricked into becoming the prey in a deadly hunt, similar to the original Hard Target plot.The hunt is organized by a wealthy businessman named Aldrich (Robert Knepper), who offers rich clients the chance to hunt human targets. Wes must now use his skills, wits, and instincts to survive in the jungles of Myanmar while being pursued by a group of deadly hunters armed with high-powered weapons.
As Wes fights to survive, he uses the terrain and his martial arts prowess to turn the tables on his hunters, picking them off one by one in a brutal and deadly game of survival.
