Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I'll tell you why so serious

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler is back in this sequel that should answer all your questions from the first Indio. This time around, an evil corporation (of course) wants to build a road through the rainforest. Seems logical enough, but it turns out they would be destroying the indigenous land of the Indios. So the head Indio in charge, Ugadi (Cuervo) does the only logical thing you can do in that situation: he turns to Marvelous Marvin Hagler for help. Sorry, Sgt. Iron. Iron leads the local tribes on a massive revolt (hence the subtitle) against the evil mercenary baddies put in charge of building the road. But it all comes to a head when IMC President (that's all he's credited as) (Napier) shows up, and then Sgt. Iron goes mano-a-mano with head builder/baddie Vincent Van Eyck (Galuba). Will the revolt be successful, or just plain revolting? Just the fact that there's an Indio TWO is a testament to the grandness of the video store era. Shelves needed filling, and customers were hungry for product, so, why not? Especially when master director Antonio Margheriti is at the helm once again. The guy knows action, that's for sure. The movie is very well-shot, and the professional look adds a lot. At first, it may seem like slow going - and at 104 minutes, that is a more than reasonable thing to think - but Indio 2 is like a river in the rural jungles where it was shot. At first it may seem leisurely and rambling, but at some point it becomes rapids and then a waterfall - that really is what happens here. The final third of Indio 2 is simply great. It just takes a little time to get there.Marvelous Marvin Hagler (he legally changed his name to Marvelous Marvin Hagler, much like how Mr. T's legal name is Mr. T - and for those who don't know, T's middle name is legally a period) certainly gives Louis Gossett Jr. a run for his money. Why didn't they play brothers in a movie? When he speaks to members of the local Indio population, he calls them "man". Of course, he faces off against an evil German. Halfway through the movie, we're told he's supposed to be South African, but his accent is pure baddie. It's a baddie accent, more than anything. A badcent? His sidekick is a beardo who strongly resembles Mick Fleetwood. So that is scary. We were on Charles Napier watch, and he doesn't show up until 71 minutes in. That's a long time. And his screen time is almost Center of the Web-style quick - it's a glorified cameo.Napier basically plays the role Brian Dennehy did in the first Indio, but gets much less time in the sun. Besides that, you can tell Margheriti and the gang didn't want to do a complete retread of the first Indio. The surprising fate of that movie's hero, Daniel Morell, would certainly indicate that. Under-the-radar action movie regular Tetchie Agbayani also returns from the first movie, which was nice to see, and added some continuity. Of course, there are the time honored beat-ups, blow-ups, exploding huts a-plenty, and even a rare form of exploding helicopter - not only is it a double ex-heli, but both are on land and not in the sky at the time. You never see that. George H.W. Bush's photo is on the wall, and in another scene, there's a picture of Stallone next to a picture of Jesus. That pretty much sums up the spirit of Indio 2 in a nutshell.Indio 2 is a movie that gets better as it goes along. It all ends with a killer climax, and, despite some slower moments early on, it's quite good overall and very worth seeing.

Indio 2 The Revolt (1991).Its been a few years since what happened in the first movie and all is peaceful in the jungle again.But as the ex-marine Daniel Morell is walking in the jungle he gets killed bye a man that is going to try and build the road though the villages again.And some missionaries that where there took a photo of the dead body and went back to the US and they showed it to Sergeant Iron who was a friend of Daniel Morells.So Sergeant Iron went to the village with a camera so he could show the world what is happening and to help the Indians fight the people making the road.I have seen the first movie called Indio and this movie is so much better in every way u can image.There are heaps of great action scenes in this movie and the best action scene is at the end of the movie when hundreds of Indians lead bye Sergeant Iron are attacking the evil road workers.Over all this movie is really great and if u can find it u should watch it.My rating for this movie is seven out of ten.

This is one of those rare sequels that's better than the original. That's not to say it's a work of art - it definitely isn't - but it's fun, and sometimes that's not enough. It does start off a little dull, but then the action - explosions, gunfire, fights - comes in steadily, bloodily, and excitingly! The climatic action scene is a wow! A lot of fun, though it's not perfect - for one thing, there's a problem with the lead. He looks and moves great, but his enunciation is so bad, it's sometimes hard to figure out what he's saying. Also, you have to wonder why they spent a few extra bucks for Charles Napier if they only use him for 2 minutes. Maybe they wanted to compare the INDIO films to the RAMBO films - after all, Brian Dennehy appears in the first movie of each series, and Napier appears in the second of each series!

Smashing sequel to the comparatively lame Indio (which had neat explosions and little else), Indio 2 is a fitting final offering from one of the finest action directors in history, Antonio Margheriti. Although Marvelous Marvin Hagler's performance in rough around the edges and the film gets off to a slow start, things really pick up when all the Amazon tribes unite to fight off Charles Napier and his evil corporation complete with an army of trained mercenaries. Awesome explosion effects and a show-stopping finale I'd compare to the siege sequence in ZULU DAWN. Some juicy gore effects thrown in as well, I just wish they would have thought of a less tacky way to kill off Francesco Quinn's character (without him being in the movie) than they did. Much like Lamberto Bava's underrated film BLASTFIGHTER, the film throws all the right punches at just the right moments, and turns into a very enjoyable viewing experience. Grand entertainment, it even manages to out-do THE EMERALD FOREST, which it rips off on a few occasions. Unlike John Boorman, Margheriti knows how to make an action scene work. Definitely worth a rental or two.
