This IS NOT Black Belt Jones 2... Hot Potato is


In Hot Potato, the comedy adventure that most people loathe, Jim Kelly's name is Jones... BLACK BELT JONES... In this movie, his name is Lucas...

I don't know why this is called Black Belt Jones 2 because it isn't... Hot Potato was the sequel... Also, JONES and POTATO had the same director, the man who also directed ENTER THE DRAGON...

Exactly; "The Tattoo Connection" has no 'connection' with the film "Black Belt Jones," in any way. naming this one "Black Belt Jones 2" is merely a marketing gimmick, meant to sell dvd's. This movie has a completely different style, and a different tone altogether. It is a hard-boiled, serious crime film, with very little (intentional) humor. It's also very Asian in style, as it seems to be a Chinese production. BBJ is very American-style in every way. Not to mention, "Tattoo Connection" is the superior film in every way, (in my opinion.) I just wish it would receive the proper dvd release, restoring the Chinese audio and 2;35 aspect ratio..
