Yan yuk cha siu bau II: Tin jue dei mit

Some simpy pansy and his stupid horty torty wife who hate each other invite a cousin to stay over to only find out she's nuttier than a fruitcake and on the rag. The Untold Story 2 is an unofficial sequel to the vastly superior Eight Immortals Restaurant. The story and conception borrows very little from the first, instead is much more in tone with the movie Misery. It also reminds me a little of Miike's Audition. Also, for those readying to spread eagle and crank one over some bloody goodness like the r·tards that you are, tough ass. The gore and violence is much more timid. But, it is still a good movie with great acting performances of Anthony Wong and Paulyn Sun and I liked the story fairly well. Just not as gripping as the original. Actually, if I were you, I probably would avoid trying to compare this to the original and just see it as a movie of its own. Don't be a dingus like me. Ugh!

Anthony Wong stars in both this and the original (far superior) Untold Story, but the similarities stop there. Wong doesn't reprise his role obviously, and instead plays a bumbling policeman who gets involved with a rather suspicious female, Fung (1994's Miss Singapore, Paulyn Sun) who's a repressed nut-job, sure. But her tame jealous "wanna be with a guy who's with a girl" killer is no where near as compelling as what Wong played in the first one. The movie itself seems tired and by the numbers. Yeung Fan as the physcho's love interest's unfaithful girl tries to keep one from total boredom by stripping down whenever possible, and Sun does have a nice ass, but even that can't save this dud.

My Grade: D

The Untold Story was a shocking and gory movie (plus, it had a memorable performance of Anthony Wong), it was successful enough to make producers invest in more CAT III films.

After 5 years since the original release of The Untold Story, Yiu-Kuen Ng directs this sequel in name only.

When i saw it for the first time, i was disappointed, since it didn't have much gore in comparison of the original (the only gore scene in this movie wouldn't go beyond the R-rating), when i watched it for the second time, i thought that it was a decent CAT III film. Like i said, the gore is toned down, but in The Untold Story II, the sexual content is boosted.

We get to see Anthony Wong, in this movie he plays a cop, i thought that his role was supposed to be nothing more than a glorified cameo, but he has many scenes, and his scenes are pretty fun to watch.

If you are looking for a gorefest, you will be pretty much disappointed, The Untold Story II was made when the trend of CAT III movies was declining, probably, because of the budget, the director didn't had a lot of ideas on how to shock the audience, but i found the movie to be entertaining.

The original Untold Story is an absolute blast. Anthony Wong plays an absolute mad man and marries scenes of disgusting violence with dramatic tension. The Untold Story 2 is much more restrained.

Nice guy, Emotion Cheung (Chung) and his cheating, gold digging wife, Yeung Fan (Kuen) are unhappily married. Cousin, Alien Sun (Fung) is the seemingly sweet or even dim witted mainland girl who turns out to be an absolute psycho. She is jealous of their relationship and seduces wimpy Chung and puts up photographs of Chung and her in wedding clothes to make Kuen jealous. What follows is her getting chopped up and served as BBQ pork to the local cops.

Anthony Wong returns this time in a cameo role as Officer Lazyboots. As the name suggests he's a lazy, naive cop and compared to the absolute insanity he brought to the first film, he is wasted in this role. Alien Sun also really hams it up and gurns into the camera at every opportunity. This makes the performance not really believable, it made me wonder how much better the film would be with Chingmy Yau in the lead.

The scenes of violence are bloody and over the top. There's also a few graphic sex scenes, but not enough to satisfy the most hardcore Cat III fans bearing in mind the brutal Ebola Syndrome came out the same year.

It's fun, but loses steam near the end. The end face off fails at being as exciting as it should be. That said the plot is different enough from the first film and there's some hilarious campy moments, but this is a starter not a banquet.

Pauline Suen plays remorseless female psychopath from Mainland who seduces her cousin's wimpy husband. When her almost always horny cousin Kuen objects Suen proceeds to butcher her and use her meat for roast ribs.Totally unnecessary sequel to my beloved "The Untold Story".It's nowhere nearly as powerful and shocking as its sickeningly nasty predecessor.Anthony Wong returns as veteran cop Officer Lazybones who divides his time between arresting illegal chicken sellers and eating at Cheung's roast shop.The film is filled with lots of lame comedy and there is not enough gore and violence for my liking.The dismemberment of Kuen is quite gruesome and there is a bit of delicious sleaze,but I expected more.The film also spawned a second sequel "The Untold Story III" by Herman Yau.5 out of 10.
