Iron Monkey 2 is not an official sequel, which explains a lot. It's an Iron Monkey movie in name and Kung Fu only. In the time between the two films, The Iron monkey went from mythical robin hood like super hero to leader of the Chinese resistance.
Donnie Yen returns to fight off a deadly assassin named Snow Fox and aids a band of insurrectionists battling a malevolent gang of weapon smugglers.
The plot itself was/is simple but I found it hard to follow and that was probably because I was bored.
There was a lot of gunfire in this film. I hate martial arts movies with guns. It kinda ruins the setting and more importantly, takes me out of it. The best part about Iron Monkey though, was the flying guillotine. That weapon is so sick and definitely needed to be featured more.
The flying guillotine is the best part of any martial arts film.
[Disclaimer: This is a scene from another film.]
The action in Iron Monkey 2 was fast and intense. When they did fight I mean. But Donnie Yen did not look interested, at least that's how I saw it. Second best part, They Molotov'd a dude in the climax. Kung Fu fight-- > Molotov-- > end credits.
That sequence almost made the film worth while.
Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
