Out of the window with continuity and realism, and in with the dazzling jet li. this movie never fails to exceed your expectations, or the limits of its possibilities. Suspend your disbelief and see one of the best kung fu movies of modern times.

This is a good sequel and fine kung fu movie, period. Its not one of the greatest, but it does a fair job of representing the talents of Jet Li and Corey Yuen Kwai, although both have done far better movies together. Some of the middle lags, and the final fight needed some spice (the finale of the original Fong was superior). Still, for the kung fu fan, it is well worth watching.

Jet Li is explosive in this movie just like in his other non-english speaking roles.He takes the old style of martial arts movies and makes them extremely good. He is a very good actor even though alot of his movies are rated badly now.The story for FSY2 is a good story with excellent characters to back it up!
His other movies"Romeo must die","Kiss of the Dragon",and"The One" were not written to his talent.If Jet Li would have taken the part in "Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon" it would have fitted him better on his type of fighting.He need to keep doing the old style of martial arts movies!

The final fight in this movie must be seen to be believed. Actually most of the fight scenes must be seen to be believed. Therein lies the problem...the rest of the movie (i.e. the story, the characters, etc) aren't really missed. The fights scenes are fantastic, but without any coherent reason for there to be a fight going on, it takes away from the enjoyment.

This movie I thought was pretty good. It has a lot of very comical humorous scenes as well as breathtaking action scenes. If you're a Jet Li fan who loves his movies, but also looking for a laugh, this is the movie to get. I myself got a few laughs out of this movie. Shows how Jet Li is capable of both Comedy and Action.

While I try not to review the movies that aren't available anymore I had to spill out a 5-star review for this awesome sequel.I got my hands on an origional vhs copy the other day after a ton of internet searching and boy was I glad.This is my favourite of the un-findables that go out of print....I could probably watch this one a good 100 times,the fight scenes are the most intense I have ever seen,and while I said Tai-Chi Master,Fire Dragon, Iron Monkey(93),and Fist of Legend are the best fight movies available today,FONG SAI YUK II is the best fight movie which is un-avilable today.I guarantee you'll never see Jet Li kick so much ass as he does in this movie and he turns into a hardcore killer by the end of the movie with the last two classic fight scenes,first he kills about a hundred or more of his Red Flower brothers who turned against him sporting ten samurai swords at his waist,blind folded,in a alley with red rose pettles floating everywhere(awesome)then he saves his mom from the main villain and finishes him off with about 1,000 hit or so combo(I lost count) which explodes his back and sends him flying into his chair.A classic movie if I ever seen one and a must find(keep searching!) but hopefully it will be re-realeasd some day.

Amusing and entertaining as the first, though probably not as well made as the first one. The sequel has a different atmosphere, more of a light comedy compared to the action oriented first flick. Contact riget@webtv.net for info on how get this one and the first one at a more affordable price.

Jet Li is totally awesome in this movie. I love martial arts action films but this comedy is the best and the fight scenes are priceless. I can't forget about the mother in this movie--she was out of sight. Together she and Jet Li were amazing, you'd have to see it to believe it and then resee it.

This was some sequel, even though Fong Sai Yuk 2 seemed it had lost a little of it's touch. Unlike the first one, the sequel was just not that amazing. I think one of my biggest dissapoints about this film is about the main villain, Mr. Wu. His skills just wasn't that good, if you have seen the prequel of this one; You would know that the bad guy in Fong Sai Yuk 1 was A LOT better. He was just as good as Jet Li. If the villain could have been a little more exciting to watch and his martial arts was just a notch higher. This could have been another masterpiece. The first fight in this movie between Fong and Wu really starts us off. It appears about 15 minutes after the opening scene. They were jumping 30 feet into the air and kicking bricks and other things. It was incredible, one of the coolest part was when Wu was kicking the concrete off the ground towards Jet Li! There were a lot of fight scenes, about 1 in every 15 minutes. Right after Fong and Wu, we go to beat up some samauries. And there was this Japanese guy that can block all your nerves and paralyze you by just touching you with his fingers. Sounds pretty cool. But I didn't think the finale was too good. There was too much bricks thrown at each other while Fong was trying to save his mom from Wu. In conclusion, this was average. I recommend you to rent if you haven't seen it yet(And oh yeah, they say this was a comedy, I didn't find any of the jokes in this movie humurous).
