This film doesn't combine comedy and drama as well as the first one, but is still excellent fun.

SS - (***) A kung-fu adept (Jet Li) volunteers his talents to the Sun Flower Clan, but corrupt officials (and several cuties) stand in his way. Solid fighting sequences are capped by a dazzling finale: our hero's mother is about to die in a hangman's noose, and Fong Sai Yuk has to juggle a column of chairs under her to keep her from falling, all while fighting an army of villains!

DLW - (7.75) This is, obviously, the second installment of Fong Sai Yuk. As such, it has some top of the line martial arts
action, but the story was so weak it took a lot of enjoyment out of watching it. The fighting itself is great, but the reason for
the fighting was totally absent. Good for pure action.

STSH -Slam-bang great fun (though a bit gory at times), and even better than the first one. Hilarious contest between Fong's
(Jet Li) girlfriend (Michelle Lee) and a princess (luscious Amy Kwok), whom he needs to win over for political purposes. The
scene where Fong makes advances to the princess is a scream. Jo Siao is great, as always, as Fong's wild and loyal mother.
Fong, at one point, claims the title of Canton's Young Man Of the Year and - a rare event - Jet Li even manages a modest
amount of smiling in this pic. The finale, a fight to save Fong's mother from hanging (above a teetering pile of chairs) is one of
THE all-time climactic battles in HK filmdom (the equal of any of Jackie Chan's best), and was copied in the just-as-good
Tai_Chi_Master. OVERALL : Excellent comedy/action, a definite must-see.
