Iron Monkey 2 1996 Yuen Woo-ping

First off, this is not really a sequel to 1993's Iron Monkey.  Donnie Yen's in them both, but he's playing different characters, the budget's bigger, the actors are better, the fights are better, etc....  So why should you watch Iron Monkey 2?  Well, you really shouldn't unless you love Hong Kong Cinema.  If you want to see a good kung fu movie, go watch the original.  If you want to see dodgy wire work, bad dubbing and godawful sets, this is your movie.  Donnie Yen plays the Robin Hood-like Iron Monkey and he has to contend with drug dealers, scared townsfolk, and blind beggars.  Then after an hour and a half of completely average early nineties kung fu-ness, the final fight is awesome.  The wire work is still terrible, but Donnie fights Billy Chow, the bad guy from Jet Li's Fist of Legend.  The fight's so good it almost makes you forget the rest of the movie.  The way Donnie and his pals dispose of the main bad guy at the end has to be seen to be believed, and serves as a reminder of just how awesome Hong Kong movies used to be.  In the end, if you don't have much experience with Hong Kong Cinema, stay away.  But if you do, enjoy at least the last 20 minutes.
