I have to say though, this sequel isn't quite as good as the original. It is more action-packed, with a fight every 5 minutes or so, but the story isn't complex and certainly doesn't appeal to the audience quite the way that the first one did. Also, not much swordsplay any more. Possibly more violence; the Japanese heartbeat controlling method of murder is plain sick! But overall, a good movie with excellent action and some legilimite humor. [9/10]
