Yan yuk cha siu bau II: Tin jue dei mit

If you're into sexy movies about human pork bun this is an awesome movie. Anthony Wong playing against type was the highlight for me. I have the Vinegar Syndrome restoration and I must say I wish they'd get their hands on the first one too, the colour grading and sound is unreal and amazing.

Depending on how well versed you are in Category III flicks this will either be too trashy or not trashy enough for you. For me I'd compare this to Erotic Nightmare - really sleazy but hypnotically enticing.

It's a sin they don't make movies like this anymore. The lens is so nihilistic, the events obscene and the playful tone makes the thrills and horror all that much more intense. Don't miss it!

The story of a barbecue restaurant where the customers ends up eating human flesh. This is too simple of a description of this movie. It's done by the sexy beautiful wife of the restaurant owner, to few equally sexy friend of hers. Anthony Wong - a Hong Kong police officer finds himself in the middle of the crime, not suspecting what's really going on.

A psychotic wife of the barbecue restaurant owner goes out to revenge anyone who's belittled her - even to a point of killing them. Then she takes pleasure in watching the customers at her restaurant enjoying the flesh of the victims she's murdered.

It's a bit of a gore, but not that bad. The main focus seems to be the sexploitation of the victims, and the beautiful, and sexually charged wife of the restaurant owner. It's an intriguing story, and worth watching.

The movie is done beautifully, and is of high quality. All the actors really plays the part well. The story starts out quite normally, but takes a radical turn as events starts to unfold.

Honestly, maybe some of the victims deserved to be killed the way they did, for they were kind of poison to the society themselves. The advise is to stay away from people like them, so you don't have to go to this extreme.

A movie about situations that we all feel what this wife felt at few points in our lives, and serves as the release to the feelings that we have about them. Very Good.

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

Mei Ah DVD Extras: Sub-titled interviews with Cheung Kam Ching & Paulyn Sun; Anthony Wong filmography; a very brief synopsis; Theatrical trailer for the film; & trailers for "Chinese Erotic Ghost Story" and "Twenty Something"

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!

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.
