Review: This is yet another one of those Kung Fu movies were I didn't have a clue what was going on. I had to watch it twice, just to try and understand who was who but St the end of the day, I was none the wiser. I got the fact that Jet Li's clan was looking for there master who had been locked up in a woman/man's dungeon, but apart from that I was completely lost. Once again, there's loads of flying action with people fighting in mid-air, which I found a bit ridiculous but the various characters made the movie watchable, even though I didn't know what was going on half the time. I couldn't believe that none of the characters didn't know that the man was a woman because she really did look like a man. Also, I was getting confused with who was who and why people were fighting each other without knowing who each other was. Anyway, if I understood what was going on, I'm sure that I would have liked it a bit more but I spent more time keeping up with the plot than actually enjoying it. Average!Round-Up: Why do these oriental film makers have to make there movies so confusing when the concept is about different clans. Also, I'm getting really fed up with these flying on strings and fighting in mid-air action scenes. Most people who are into there Kung Fu movies, prefer the old ones which didn't have this flying in the air rubbish. I wonder if Bruce Lee would take to this style of action scenes if he was still alive? Anyway, enough of my moaning and back to this film. Jet Li puts in a good performance, alongside the different characters in the film but I'm yet to see a performance from Jet were he isn't flying in the air. Hopefully I will see a more realistic action movie from this fast fighting actor, when I watch the earlier movies.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$34.5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about a clan who are looking for there master whilst fighting against different clans. 3/10

People seem to be divided into two groups about this movie. Those who think it's amazing and groundbreaking, and those who think it's vastly overrated. I fall somewhere in between, tending towards the "overrated". I have watched a lot of kung fu movies lately, and this one, from 1991, is nowhere near groundbreaking. No one who's watched the good stuff from the '60s and '70s can claim that there is much originality in Swordsman II.This movie disappointed me because it was too ridiculous. Admittedly, it was also quite funny, and I don't mind supernatural kung fu. But the story and the effects never really worked that well, and as someone else has pointed out, the English subtitles are really, really terrible.So on a scale from one to ten, I can only give this movie a 5, but I will raise that to 6 because of the attractive women in it. Not only Brigitte Lin, but Rosamund Kwan and especially Michelle Reis (who's got some great fight scenes here, unlike in Fong Sai Yuk, where she was just helpless) are a big bonus for this movie, and makes it well worth watching.Thus: 6 out of 10.

i loved the accuracy of the ninjas, ok other than there flying. although many who did not know much about ninjas believed that they had mystical powers such as flying, running so fast that they could not be seen, invisibility and so on. there were no black ninja suits, but instead the type of attire ninjas are more likely to have worn. very young jet li.

I love fantasy movies, so you can imagine how much I liked this movie when I saw it. Although The Kung Fu Cult Master is my favorite movie, this is a wonderful movie, and anyone who likes the Fantasy genre should watch this imidiatly! Everything in this movie is perfect, the scenery, acting, music, and the story. I didn't understand what it was about when I first watched it 'cause I didn't see the first swordsman but once you watch it a few times, you'll understand what the story is about. People may call me weird, but I actually wanted Jet Li to get together with Brigdet Lin in the movie.Plus, like the Kung Fu Cult Master (Nowhere near as good, but very good) this movie also had everything, Action, drama, A funny love triangle, sex (Jet Li's first on-screen sex scene. It may not be all that great but It's believable) and of course, Jet Li's cute little face to light up the screen!
