About Mad Dog II
The titular "Mad Dog", actually goes under the very anonymous name "Nick Nolte", and is played by Romano Kristoff, whom you may or may not remember from such classics as "Warbus", "Double Edge", or "Tough Cops". He is a cop who doesn't take it easy when the mob executes his stripper-sister, and he goes after them to get revenge at all costs. Another Phillipino superstar, Jim Gaines, has a small cameo in "Mad Dog II" as a snitch who gets offed in the bathroom.
Directed by Jun Gallardo, Mad Dog II leans on a strong ensemble — Romano Kristoff, Bruce Baron, Don Gordon Bell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1983.
