I cant remember the 1st movie that well but this is a prequel and a sequel rolled into one.

IT has a feel of a chinese mini series squashed into movie length time. It has the cheap cgi look to it!!
I found the action scenes boring, and Fan siu wong doesnt have the presence to be a lead actor. Gordon Liu looks like he's cruising through this movie.

The only positive is the interesting development of roam chow as he is growing up, yet i still felt unsatisfied.

Maybe if they had a bigger budget and a longer story, this would of turned out a lot better than the product you get now
