I agree about the Jet-Donnie fight. I was really expecting much more from seeing those two legends go at it.

Thanks for watching - yeah I wonder if there is some backstory on the timing and schedule that seemed to limit their fight scenes but either way they are fun to watch!

2 is better than 1, but I think that's because Tsui Hark was trying to make a Wong Feihung movie the first time and pour all the traditional elements in, which was maybe too much. The second one, he's making a Tsui Hark movie, with Wong Feihong flavoring. You get the rational, traditional Wong caught between the religious crazies and the encroaching Brits, being honorable, but in a more direct story. I'll confess that I was underwhelmed by both Chiang and Yen in this given the rest of their impressive careers, but it's fun to see Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan.

Thanks for watching -- yes I felt like Hark totally had more of a feel for things in the second film! And less of the screwball sidekicks which was a distraction in the first movie for me!

I really like part II as well. I’m glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching -- yes they really did well the second time around!
