This movie leaves off were part I stops. Ning Choi-san roams rural China seeing still a lot of chaos. In this chaos he is locked up in prison with an old scholar. The scholar helps him escape and gives him a pendant. He meets up with a young Taoist monk and they are attack by a gang led by two sisters who want to lay a trap to rescue their father who is seems as a traitor to the emperor. One of the sisters looks perfectly like Sui-sin, the girl he lost in the first movie. He falls in love and wants to help her rescue her father.Things take a turn as they battle the soldiers that take her father to court. There is a demonic presence too and they battle it together with Fu, a swordsman that escorts the father (he has awesome moves!). The battle ends when a high priest passes through and promises the sisters to help out with the case when it comes to court. The high priest is a demon however, corrupting the court and country. In the meantime, Choi- san asks his old friend Yin to help again.Together they fight the false priest, who turns out to be a demon. The swordplay is fantastic again and there is more humor thrown in this movie. Not as good as the first movie, yet still a great movie to watch if you liked the first installment.

Although a little shorter on plot than the first movie, this one might be a bit funnier. With the welcome additions of Jackie Cheung as a wandering ghost fighting Monk and the lovely Michelle Reis to the cast, the movie has even more Hong Kong star power than the last. Of course the chemistry between Leslie Cheung and Joey Wang is still there, and the film is funny and fast paced. If you liked the first movie, then put this on your must see list.

Usually the sequel to a movie isn't really that good. But for this movie it is awesome! The storyline is just as good, and again the performances by the actors and actresses are really good. This again shows how good Hong Kong Cinema was in the early 90's.

Not entirely sane mixture of martial arts, supernatural tomfoolery, adventure epic, picaresque, Eastern philosophy and religion, and monster movie; featuring cowardly, yet devilishly handsome scholar-heroes, potty priests with magical nous, fearsome, yet cute, highkicking heroines, fat evil fake Buddhas, mendacious high priests, lumbering trolls, hairy gurus and noble warriors. You can choose either THE PHANTOM MENACE and George Lucas, who stole many of these elements to create an enervating sticky gloop that goes on way too long; or this, directed at a breathless pace, full of fun, joy, energy, terror, invention and wonder (and socio-historical critique) which ends far too soon.
