Once Upon a Time in China, Part 2

Once Upon a Time in China, II

Cantonese, English subtitles

1992, 113 Minutes

5 Stars

Rainy Day should tell you at the beginning, there is NO set-up on this series of DVDs, you need to use the Subtitle button on your remote to get the English subtitles, but they are there. This time, Jet Li as Wong Fei-Hung takes on the White Lotus cult. One of the supporting characters (non-violent) is Sun Yat Sen, which makes sense as this story takes place in 1895 in Canton. Some stunning fight scenes, magnificent choreography, superb photography, and the story was pretty good, too. And, did Rainy Day mention it stars Jet Li? This is one of those sequels that is even better than the first movie.  Grab your favorite libation, a bowl of popped corn, sit back and enjoy. Donnie Yen's cloth stick fight at the end is almost believable.
