Review of Once Upon a Time in China II (1992) by Dakota H — 22 Jul 2007
This is Tsui Hark's masterpiece. With some of the best fighting ever filmed, this is truly the best of Tsui Hark's Wong Fei Hung series. Donny Yen gives a confident performance as one of Jet Li's many foes.
The drama and the action are one in this film. When a fight begins, it is completely natural. It is similar to musicals in that, in good musicals, the songs and the atmospheres created by the songs never fully dissipate from the dramatic scenes.
The action of this film never truly stops: it is merged inseparably with the drama of the story.
