L² Comment: 

The sequence is very good as well comparing to the first movie. One thing is, I never realize Elizabeth Lee is much more famous than Carina Lau during that time. Elizabeth joined the industry in 1987 after winning the runner up in Ms HongKong while Carina has been in the industry since 1982... But of course as time goes by, Carina's acting skill is much more better than Elizabeth; while Elizabeth is marry with a rich man now? Who is more success now? In terms of carrier of course is Carina, but in terms of life & marriage, hands down to Elizabeth :)

L² Comment:

At first I found this movie is kinda stupid but yet funny as well~ They acted as if they are ICAC or CID like that, make the comedy a bit tense and few times it make me burst into laughter... Well, that was how i feel when i watch it during the first time, but as I rewatch this movie now, it did not really give me that feeling anymore... 

A good comedy movie should be able to create the same feeling no matter how many times you watch it right? Haha, i didn't mean to sound like a pro here, but i hope i am :p I'm still looking for the sequence of this movie, anybody got it?

L² Comment:

Though there's a lil part of comedy inside, but this is mostly about action on fighting. Stephen Chow seldom acted in this kind of movie, except the very first movie of his... Overall it is not bad. Beside having the same title as Bruce Lee's old film, there is nothing similarities about it, so don't confuse on it~

However, Tong's wives are all gambling addicts, unappreciative of Tong's artistic skills. This leads to Tong's quest for a woman who truly appreciates his strengths.

The Tong Family have been generations of martial arts masters and has two major enemies: the Evil Scholar, a notorious swordsman known for The Deadly Scholastic Sword, Due to these rivalries, Tong Pak Fu is forbidden by his mother to use any form of martial arts.

One day, Tong stumbles upon the convoy of the House of Wah, and meets Chow Heung, one of the four maids in the House of Wah. This chance encounter convinces Tong that he has finally found his true love. On the advice of a boatman, Tong pretends to be a lowly servant in order to gain employment in the House of Wah.

Tong finds life as a servant very difficult, until Madame Wah discovers that Tong is actually educated. After some persuasion by Chow Heung, Tong is hired as an assistant tutor for Madame Wah's two young sons.

After the sudden death of the main tutor of the House of Wah, Tong is promoted and manages to get closer to Chow Heung. However, the House of Wah is suddenly visited by Chancellor Wah's political rival, Prince Ning, who is planning a coup. Madame Wah is injured, and Tong steps in to finish the battle in the House of Wah's favor. Prince Ning seizes the opportunity to blame the House of Wah for insulting him. Embarrassed at being utterly defeated at the hands of a tutor, Prince Ning leaves hastily, vowing revenge. In reproducing a painting, Tong reveals his real identity to Madame Wah, who is the former love rival of Tong's mother.

Several days later, the Evil Scholar returns to annihilate the entire House of Wah. Madame Wah attempts to defend the family, but is almost killed. Tong appears and after a fierce battle, Tong kills the Evil Scholar and earns Chow Heung's hand in marriage as a reward.

Hehe, one of my fav Stephen Chow's movie back in the 90's. The only time Stephen Chow film with Gong Li... Gong Li always give us the serious type of look, but in this movie, she did tried some effort to be funny, but of course she won't be able to compete with Sandra Ng, Teresa Mo, Sharla Cheung, Karen Mok or other Stephen Chow's movie actress... The biggest surprise would be Jessica Hester Hsuan in this movie, i almost lost my breath because i laugh too hard on some of her scenes~

Same like the previous I Love HK, most of the actors & actresses are from TVB. Its happy to see that they have chances to go on big screen which not all the celebrities have the chance. Overall the storyline is ok, a bit predictable, but its still ok~ I watched this old cny movie because of the cny, or else, this wont be in my "to-watch-list"~

This is one of the classic comedy in the HK early movie time. Andy Lau used to be good in comedy, as well as Stanley, Natalis & Richard. But having Idy in this movie is nice too, as Andy was with her in the Condor Heroes in TVB, but too bad, in the end Andy was pair up with Chingmy instead of Idy.
