[UPDATED] Scott Adkins Goes From Hunted To Hunter In The New HARD TARGET 2 Trailer
At first glance I would have sworn that a sequel to John Woo’s 1994 thriller, Hard Target was a standalone film. It was thrilling and fun as it came at the height of action star Jean-Claude Van Damme’s career in Hollywood and though it may have taken more than two decades for a sequel to happen, it finally has.

From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: Hard Target 2
Retired mixed martial artist Wes “The Jailor” Baylor (Scott Adkins) can’t refuse a million-dollar purse he’s offered for one final bout in Myanmar. But when he arrives for the fight, he learns he’s been tricked into becoming the target of a human hunt. Carrying only water and a ruby-filled money belt for the last person standing, Wes must outsmart the heavily armed group that has paid to kill him. As he fights for his life in the treacherous jungle terrain, the hunters become the hunted.
