I was still very little when this show aired here in Europe, but even so, I still remember two shows me and my family were sort of addicted to : Sledge Hammer and Raven. Although not very alike, they were and are both icons of genius series in the 80's and 90's. I still remember the great scenery and atmosphere in Rave and the fights were exciting as ever, how else would a little guy like I was remember such a show clearly? The main characters were great developed and Raven himself had such a great mystery over him as a former member of the Black Dragons.

As mentioned by many people here before me, it's a pity that Raven (and sledge hammer too) had such a short lifespan. And while many shows are now re-released on DVD, Raven stays in the cold for no apparent reason, at least to me. Please release this show and make us happy :(

The comments on this film are very disturbing. First of all, the first movie was indeed quite nice. But this sequel not as good as the original, and that's putting it nicely. I don't know where they casted the actors, but they have one of the worst on-screen performances I have ever seen. In stead of acting, they usually make a funny face and shout out their text. The story is stupid, and although they claim that it's totally different then the first movie, all the same things happen, especially in the beginning. Camera work is nice, and when they land on the beach of the island you'd swear it's like a mini-saving private Ryan. I don't understand how the writers, casting directors and directors could screw up this sequel with such a budget. Maybe if they would have taken actual actors and now clowns and thought the story trough a little more, it could have been a nice movie, but now it's just an irritating waste of time.
