One thing I've noticed,,,
In the first movie, Joe was pretty much invincible. Only The Black Star Ninja got a shot in. In this movie, almost everyone he fights, gets a shot in.

"Joe's fighting skills isnt the same as Part 1. In the first he used nijistu techniques in Part 2 he fights like a regular martial artist."
How can you make such typos? I assume your name must be a typo as well, based on what you wrote.
It's "Ninjitsu" or even "Ninpo", depending on how you look at it - it's not "nijistu", and I can't understand how even the worst 'american typoists' can make such a mistake.
You are also wrong in your statements - he doesn't use any 'ninjitsu techniques' in the first movie - he just moves like a bad actor who has never even heard of martial arts before in the first movie, trying to LOOK like he's using some kind of 'ninja moves' (mostly just 'aikido'-ish crap, not done very well).
In this movie he 'fights' (if you can call it that) like an over-coreographed and grandma with a hernia, that tries to copy old Clint Eastwood movie fights together with old TV show fight scenes, utilizing the changing camera angles and editing to make it all easier.
If you want to see what it looks like, when someone 'fights like a regular martial artist', go see a Jackie Chan movie or a Cynthia Khan movie to learn to appreciate the difference.
I would recommend a Bruce Lee movie, but there is no way to call him a REGULAR martial artist and do justice to the truth. If anyone was a phenomenal out-of-this-world martial artist, Bruce Lee was it. Though he would probably have preferred the term: "A good martial artist".
I felt he was a much better fighter, or at least it looked better in the first film. The second film he looked older, more tired, and less trained.
