Not exactly a fan of either the original film or Jet Li himself, I was always cautious when I saw this for the first time as I expected it to be worst than the first. However, although the messy production of the original dragged it down, that main problem was sorted out in the sequel. It looks a lot better. The main problem with the second though is that ridiculously stupid jokes take over the film once more, but luckily the action is improved (not that the first had bad scenes or anything). Though saying about the comedy, the serious parts of the film were much better (the first one had way over the top acting – especially from Jet Li…he’s simply awful at acting).

Overall, I’m still a bit weary to recommend either of the films, so I won’t. I’ve seen it several times now over the years, and it never seems any better each time I watch it. But I can understand why some fans of Jet Li would like it.
