Adventurer Ning, after escaping from prison, endures more supernatural torment--along with a monk he befriends--and meets his lost love's living lookalike, who is trying to rescue her father from the evil emperor.
Overview:
This sequel to A Chinese Ghost Story picks up where the last one left off. Ning (Leslie Cheung), the hero of the first film, is thrown in jail in a case of mistaken identity. He is befriended by wise scholar and fellow prisoner Elder Chu, who helps him escape. Once free, he runs into a ghostbusting Taoist Monk named Autumn (Jacky Cheung), and a band of revolutionaries led by sisters Windy (Joey Wong) and Moon (Michelle Reis). Windy is the spitting image of Ning's ghostly love from the last film. What's more, the revolutionaries mistake Ning for Elder Chu. The group is planning to rescue the sisters' father, Lord Fu, who is being unjustly held captive by imperial forces. Following a humorous scene involving a ten foot walking corpse and a miscast freeze spell, the band runs into Lord Hu (Waise Lee), the imperial officer who is holding Lord Fu prisoner. After much sound and fury, the imperial high priest arrives to settle things down. However, that high-pitched voice means he's up to no good, and it turns out that he and his demonic lackeys are the true source of all the trouble in the empire. Ning and Windy manage to find Swordsman Yen (Wu Ma), the irascible monk from the first film, and together they join the rest of the heroes in a final, spectacular confrontation with the sinister high priest.
Tsui Hark is once again the producer for this second installment in the Chinese Ghost Story series, and once again his flair for fantastic adventure shines through. This film has less depth than its predecessor, but it moves faster, has more action, wilder special effects, and is in general more over the top. This film abandons subtlety for broad humor, flashy visuals, and lots of swords-n'-sorcery. Sure, it's somewhat cartoony in its excess, but it's also a lot of fun.
II - "May be Inappropriate For Children" (Broad rating may be roughly equal to an MPPA rating of "PG-13" to "R". In the late 1980s this rating splintered in two ratings: IIA and IIB) Films rated Category II may contain mild to strong violence, nudity that is usually not sexually oriented, explicit language and adult situations.
