The hero Fong Sai Yuk becomes involved in the secret brotherhood "The Red Flower", who are trying to overthrow the Manchurian emperor and re-establishing the Ming dynasty. The social upheaval is combined with Sai Yuk's personal moral conflict about how to conform to the rigid regime of the brotherhood and on top of that sort out his difficult love life, saddled with two presumptive wives.

I love this movie so much
Pretty Good
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
This is an excellent sequel to one of Jet Li's best films, and while it's not as good I still loved it, the fight scenes and performances are fantastic!. All the characters are great! and the story is really cool, plus Jet Li is simply amazing in this!. The fight choreography is phenomenal, and all the characters are extremely likable! plus I thought the finale was especially awesome. It had some pretty cool flashbacks, and it had some great comedy in it too, plus Jet had excellent chemistry with Josephine Siao!. The whole love triangle was amusing, however the villain in this is just plain annoying and is nowhere near as good as the one in the 1st, plus while the fight scenes are fantastic, they can't match the 1st in that department either!. The finale does get quite intense, and the ending is really amusing, however Fong's father absence is clearly felt as he had a great character in the 1st!. It's also a bit more serious then the 1st and as I said it lacks a good villain, however Jet and Josephine Siao carry this and make it a highly enjoyable sequel to one of Jet's best films!, and while it's not as good as the 1st I still loved it, the fight scenes and performances are fantastic, and I say it's a must see for everyone!. The Direction is awesome. Corey Yuen does an awesome job here with great camera work, cool angles and keeping the film at a very fast pace. The Acting is excellent. Jet Li is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, hilarious kicks that ass, had wonderful chemistry with Josephine Siao, had a great smile, and used the same formula that made his character so lovable in the 1st! (Jet Rules!!!!!). Josephine Siao is wonderful as Fong's mother she also used the great formula that mad her so hilarious in the 1st, and it also helped that her dubbing was better then usual I loved her!. Michelle Reis and Amy Kwok are great as the love interests and do what they have to do well. The Main bad guy is way too annoying and hammy to be that menacing, and really brought the film down. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall a must see for everyone!. ****1/2 out of 5
Out of the recent Jet Li films I have saw like Cradle 2 the Grave and Black Mask *Jet Li - The Legend II* is one of the best ones I have come across. If you enjoyed the action in Last Hero in China or Twin Warriors I think you will have a great time with this film. This film is more darker than the original, which works for the best I think. Most of the humour is very well done and I really enjoyed it. The story is above average as well which is a bonus with Kung-Fu films.The action scenes are done very well and look great. One scene in particular at the end when Fong Sai Yuk is walking down a street to rescue his mother and is confronted by several men looks great and the slow motion build-up to the beginning is excellent.
Jet Li is far from his prime, like when he was in Shao Lin Temple (1979), in which all fighting scenes were real, the actual technique used in real combats. In this film, most fights are fake, purely designed for the cinematographic effect. You would be deeply disappointed if this film inspires you to learn martial arts, because there is rarely such moves in the real hand-to-hand combat application in martial arts, as the movie portrays.
Fong Sai Yuk 2 directly continues the story of the first film, but tries to take a slightly more serious approach to the real historical characters it portrays. As a result, it has a darker feel than the original. Nevertheless, it contains numerous very funny comedy sequences, as our hero has two girls fighting over him and his doting mother on his tail. The fight sequences are not as well staged, however.
