This follow-up to Black Belt Jones bears no resemblance to the original; I imagine it was a marketing decision made after the film was already completed. Jones (no Black Belt) travels to an undisclosed Asian country in search of a senator’s daughter held for ransom. Jim Kelly kicks some ass in scenic locations, but it is not enough to be worth the price of admission. Out-of-place comic relief renders Hot Potato more appropriate for the Saturday afternoon kid’s matinee set. This movie is less than an hour and a half, yet its poor pacing makes it feel twice as long.
AKA Twist the Tiger’s Tail.
