L² Comment:

The second movie is not as good as the first one, especially the comedy part. We all knows that Stephen Fung try very hard to direct a good film, but as a new director, he has to do something special out of it. The first movie did it, but the second one just only average, the only surprise is at Daniel Wu & Patrick Tse part. I hope the 3rd movie of Taichi will get better...
