Summary: (YAWN)
Okay, I was hoping that the second installment might have improoved to it's original by cleaning up some of the problems that one had. But no, it's just as bad. To me, the Y&D series was probably one of the worst movie series to come out of HK, with numerous rip-offs being made since, and they are just nothing special. Glorifying triad lifestyles is morally wrong and shouldn't be done, and these films have caused a lot of trouble in HK over the last few years, and is one of the reasons for censorship in HK now. It's forcing people like John Woo to have to work outside of HK as his films will no longer be played unless the violence is stopped.

All of the Y&D films should only be watched if you enjoyed the original, as they get no better.

Rating: 2/5
