Swordsman II (1992)
7/10
First sneak in America- weird yet exciting
24 April 2001
(in full disclosure, I wrote this when I was a dumb 17 year old, I remember enjoying the movie and recommend it, so that's all that counts): Tonight I saw this movie, a unusual Chinese action movie with a plot about a guy who has a sister and brothers and they get entangled up with fighting people who want to take over China. That is pretty much the basic plot that I could follow. The rest of the movie consists of action scenes that may or may not have been sliced off of the deleted footage of The Kentucky Fried Movie and the sound effects sound like bites from he Crippled Masters. Still, it is consistently entertaining in parts, even if it is unintentionally funny in a lot of parts (the fighters say they're move before they do it in street fighter Super Nintendo style, and the brothers have nicknames like scumbag and smart ass). Li is also pretty good, even if the whole sum of the movie might be a tad lowered. Biggest flaw though, at least for myself, was that not only was there no dubbing, but the Chinese sometimes didn't match the mouths! Oh well, it's worth it. B
