great film, average disc Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is a great film. The blu ray is a step up over the dvd in quality and worth buying again in this format. Although below par picture quality the source matearial was always very washed out. Without a colour regrading restoration this is about as good as it will look. Like wise the audio is pretty tame stuff. Given the global appeal of these classic hong kong movies its pretty shocking that more effort is not put in to restoring them properly instead of sticking them straight out to make a quick buck. As it stands kam and ronson are sitting on a goldmine of movies but continue to churn out a stream of poor blu ray discs.

Solid Wong Fei Hung story Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
As in its predecessor, "Once Upon a Time In China 2" is freighted with a mind-bogglingly complex set of interweaving plots. Set in Guangzhou during the waning days of the Qing dynasty, the film delivers the crazed White Lotus Clan determined to eliminate any foreign influence from China, nationalist rebels led by Sun Yat-Sen, and a police commander played by Donnie Yen who has an agenda all his own. Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung travels from Foshan to Guangzhou to give a lecture on on Chinese traditional medical practices to a group of Western doctors. The lecture soon comes under assault from the White Lotus Clan, who also take umbrage at the Western ways of the lovely Aunt 13 (Rosamund Kwan). With this attack, the action turns fast and furious and seldom lets up.

All the intertwining schemes make the movie feel a bit overstuffed, but it ultimately boils down to two big action set-pieces, one between Wong Fei Hung and the leader of the White Lotus Clan (Xiong Xin Xin) and the other between Wong Fei Hung and Donnie Yen's evil Commander Lan. Both scenes are spectacular and make the film a must-see for fans of the genre. Jet Li is more grim-faced and serious than usual in this film; Rosamund Kwan, as usual, makes an appealing damsel in distress. The romantic tension between the pair provides a sweet counterpoint to all the scheming and fighting. David Chiang also does a nice turn as a valiant supporter of Dun Yat-Sen.

some kick ass Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Finaly part two was made.I've been waiting to see it. And now I own it.Wong Fei-Hung(Jet Li),Aunt Yee(Rosamund Kwan),and Fu(Max Mok Siu Cheung) are in Canton.China has a problem with the White Lotus.The White Lotus are tricking people to jion their team by telling them that Kung is as hard ass metal and rock.Wong kicks the White Lotus asses and later on Wong wants to challenge the master Kung(Xiong Xin Xin).As Wong calls out Kung and a desperate fight Wong defets Kung.As wong and his buddy went to get the thing. Commander Lan(Donnie Yen) approaches and fights Wong.A very desperate fight with Wong & Lan.Fu is hurt so Wong gets even more angry and Fu-Shian No-Shadowkick to Lan and cut him on the traot.Wow that was amazing for me.The new themes that they made are even better than the one in the first one.

The first is better than the seconde Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
In my opinion, most of the trilogie is the first, the best. Seconde part is just a little bit worse than part I, but you should see it for sure.
Now, I think you like to know the different ?

Well, let's compare to the first part:
- Less fighting scene
- Less thrilling martial art ( Just a bit )
- More talking than fighting
- Prefer the story from first part
That's all, what I have to tell you, but decide yourself and maybe you are on my side or not.

ok but again wire work Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
I made a review about the first one and gave it 3 out of 5. You must understand that sometimes fight scenes must be used with wires in order to make it look good. Just like the fight with the first bad guy before he fights donnie. The table scene was completely used of wires and a complete waste of talent by Jet Li. If Jet Li directed the three films he was in in the series it probably would have been better. If you watch it you will agree. Another is when he kicks the two guys that are in each side of jet and when you see him in the air his feet arent even to the guys face and when you see them being kicked you can tell that the feet are being pushed into their faces. Well I havent seen the third but I already have a feeling that it will be the same. I have seen hong kong movies for a while and I know these things.

Donnie is the keymaster! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Donnie Yen is a martial arts supremo! I was so not use to seeing him loose, but at least he put up a more than decent fight against Jet Li, who is also very sexiful, but never as much as Donnie! I want Donnie to throw off all his clothes in his next movie and say "take me Now!" I would go see that for sure! This is my favourite of the Once Upon A Time In China movies!

One of Jet's best. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
It surpasses the first OUTIC film, IMO. The fight scenes with Wong-Fei Hung (Jet) are just too cool. Donnie Yen needs to get props for his performance as well. He comes off really good in the film.
