It seems that action movies all over the world do not need a script, and this is particularly evident in this film. Don’t you just want to watch me play, do you need a plot? As a result, Uncle Shakespeare's masterpiece was ruined again. In the palace section, we obviously copied our "Night Banquet", wearing a mask to dance the gods. Of course, no one cares about these vulgar plots. Of course, we want to watch Muay Thai. However, it seems that Tony Jia is not satisfied with the traditional Muay Thai boxing in the first part this time, but with 18 martial arts. Japanese samurai swords, tiger cranes, drunken fist, MMA fighting, nunchakus, and many strangely shaped weapons are dazzling. This dude is a director by himself this time, it is a good time to play, but I don't think the feeling of the first part is gone. The more tricks you play, the farther you are from Muay Thai. The most important joint skills in Muay Thai boxing are no longer visible, the feeling of broken joints is gone, and it is more bloody shots of weapons piercing blood bags. Editing is also messy, like the classic 10-minute long shots in "Tom Yum Kung" are gone, replaced by close-ups and fast editing. I wonder if Tony Jia’s skills have regressed and can only pass through this kind of Hong Kong. Film means to edit. The fight on the last elephant was a highlight. The elephant was too docile. The noisy side was also pulled by the ears of the ivory, so it could also cooperate with the filming.
Although the film has many problems, the production is still quite sophisticated, and it is completely Hollywood-style packaging.
