(Initial)
Jet Li is back as Wong Fei Hung, you know that must mean someone is up to no good. The sequel sees Tsui Hark joined by another legend Woo Ping, and Jet Li joined by Donnie Yen.
(Movie)
In a quite reverse to the previous movie, Jet Li this time helps the foreigners from a group trying to get rid of them. This shows Wong Fei Hung, stands for what is good and right! Let me say straight away, this sequel is not as good as the original, but in my opinion BETTER. You still get jaw-dropping backdrops, good plot and great acting. So why better? Well first you get a bit of a more of an atmospheric storyline, better action and a great battle between Donnie Yen and Jet Li. I love this movie, (Its in my top 10); you get the art of Hark, and the wonderful action from Woo Ping. It’s another classic epic, which can be enjoyed by anyone.

3 letters for you, HKL, another perfect transfer.
(Sound)
So much action on screen means there is hardly a need for rear speakers, but hey it's still 5.1 - its better to have, then not. Crisp clear sound, with the usual choices, original or dub sound tracks. Again subtitles are great! No problems here.
(Extras)
BEY LOGAN commentary - insightful, interesting, enjoyable.......... You get interviews with stars Li and Yen - both great. You do get the usual animated biography, but for each person it is the same as on other discs. Then you get the usual host of trailers, as well as a photo gallery. Not too much, but a wonderful commentary, and interesting interviews (quality over quantity is the best phrase to use here).
(Overall)
Masterpiece, spectacular transfer, and a good array of extras.
Buy it and enjoy it over, and over, and over.......
