aka: The Legend II / Fong Sai-yuk II
The Chinese film industry isn't like Hollywood. In China you can have an idea for a film, shoot it and have it on general release four months later, just like this spectacular sequel that came out in the same year as the first Fong Sai-yuk film. With the same director and cast (minus a few characters) it achieves a similar balance of comedy, action and emotion.
Remember the kung fu contest? They didn't (hell, they couldn't) exceed that level of awesome, but they gave it a damn good try. Fans of wire work wuxia won’t be disappointed.
