	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)
		Once there, however, Wong finds himself caught in several crossfires; a militant cult called the White Lotus Sect is killing all foreigners (and take a special dislike to the Westernized Aunt 13), but the government forces are more concerned with pro-democracy revolutionaries headed by Sun Yat Sen (another true-life historical figure).
		Obviously, Once Upon A Time In China II tries to tell a more complex, epic story than the first installment, and this works both for and against it.
		Once more, the English-dubbed version is included as an extra, and once again this deviates from the first disc: scenes with characters that spoke only English or Chinese and the difficulties this engendered were simply cut from the first movie.

	Once Upon a Time in China 2
		Once Upon a time in China 2 presents the continuing late-19th-century adventures of Chinese folk hero and doctor Wong Fei-Hong (Jet Li), who arrives in Canton for a medical conference.
		In light of the Hong Kong box office success of Once Upon a Time in China (which was the 8th highest earner in 1991, making HK$29,672,278.00 over its 56 day run), it was only a matter of course before at least one sequel would get spawned.
		The beginning section of Once Upon a Time in China II throws viewers into initially unfamiliar and terribly exotic looking territory: The fanatical realm of the White Lotus Sect, who we learn are virulently xenophobic -- their ritual incantations include the exhortation to “Kill all foreigners.

	Once Upon a Time in China II (NTSC) \| Funny UK Comedy
		Like its predecessor, Once Upon a Time in China 2 stars Jet Li as Wong Fei Hung, this time pitched against the xenophobic White Lotus cult, which is violently trying to rid China of foreigners (the period is the early 20th century).
		One flaw that may slightly upset fans (I know it upset the actor at the time) was the departure of Yuen Biao from the series after the original as the character Foon, who is played from this movie onwards by Mok Siu Chung.
		In nearly every occasion it is difficult to say a sequel is equally or better than the original, however Once Upon a Time in China II is an exception to this rule.

		This time, the extras are limited to a trailer gallery; brief filmographies for Li, Hark, Kwan, and Yen; and the entire dubbed English version of the film.
		Unfortunately, it seems once again that the dub was given preference when it came to the transfer.
		Once Upon a Time in China II is one of those rare sequels that surpasses the original.

		The follow-up to Once Upon a Time in China features Wong Fei-Hong (again played by Jet Li) battling the White Lotus Cult, bent on expelling all foreigners from China through spreading their provocative rumours and enlisting new members for their ever-growing cult.
		It wasn't until the first installment of the Wong Fei-hong epics, 'Once Upon a Time in China' that his resurgence was commercially recongised.
		Whilst the plot itself is entirely fantastical in format, giving much credence to the 'Once Upon a Time' section of the title (it manages to merge Wong Fei-hong, Sun Yat-sen and the White Lotus cult into one period), the narrative remains smooth and involving.

		"China's been infected with a plague known as the Western world, and Wong Fei-hung refuses to stand by and watch as his country is decimated by the foreign forces.
		The theme of preserving "traditional China" and the integrity of the martial arts is an appealing one.
		Having said that, there are times when I'm willing to let these sorts of things go.

		ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA II is a fine martial arts film, and essential viewing for anyone who saw the first film.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Once Upon a Time in China (1991), Tsui Hark, Jet Li, Rosamund Kwan, dvd review
		Though Once Upon a Time in China (1991) is, on the whole, probably not Tsui's finest hour -- that honor belongs to either Peking Opera Blues or Swordsman II -- it does contain some of his very best work.
		Many Chinese were beginning to be attracted by the promise of wealth in America, and China itself was being overrun by foreigners, threatening to dilute centuries of Chinese culture.
		I saw Once Upon a Time in China years ago at the Castro, and I can say that this new print is a 100 percent improvement.

	dOc DVD Review: Once Upon a Time in China III (1993)
		Previous films in the Once Upon a Time in China series have focused mostly on the invasion of Western thoughts, ideas, and influence into Chinese culture.
		Director Tsui Hark once again does a good job balancing elements of drama and action, and the action scenes this time around are as frenetic and exciting as ever.
		Once Upon a Time in China III is perhaps the weakest of the trilogy, but it still has its moments.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Once Upon a Time in China II \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		A sequel to the bizarre "Once Upon a Time in China" — which was a wild homage to Sergio Leone's '60s spaghetti Westerns set in 19th-century China — "Once Upon a Time in China II" is more of the same.
		Director Tsui Hark is perhaps the most imaginative director of martial-arts action to ever make a movie, and this sequel opens with an under-the-credits reminder of the first film's most fascinating sequence, a ladders-and-lofts battle between the hero and the bad guy that is truly astonishing.
		The "Once Upon a Time in China" movies are truly the "Indiana Jones" films of Hong Kong.

		Set in the era when China was just beginning to establish relations with Europe, Once upon a Time in China 3 is a mixture of politics, intrigue, broad comedy, and kung fu action.
		That he consequently fell out with director Tsui Hark and parodied the movie in 'Last Hero in China' is forgiveable- that he returned to the series in the execrable Part VI: 'Once Upon A Time In China and America', barely so.
		For me, the Once upon a time in China films are among my favourites, this is because they have all had a plot I enjoy and (the main movies) star one of Hong Kong films greatest stars of today - Jet Li.

	Once Upon a Time in China II (1992)
		This sequel to Once Upon a Time in China (1991) packs in even better fights thanks to choreography by Yuen Wo Ping, while retaining the details that made the first film so entertaining.
		While all of the other films had great choreographers and memorable scenes, OUATIC II gels better than the rest and the impressive skills of Jet Li and Donnie Yen clashing is magnificent to behold.
		For general Western audiences, I'd like to say that OUATIC II is a more accessible Hong Kong action film with it's balance of action, drama, and humor, but a characteristically flippant use of whimsically violent imagery within a real world setting may not appeal to sensitive viewers.
