More concentrated and svelte than its precursor, Once Upon a Time II also has the benefit of fights staged by Master Yuen Wo-Ping that show Jet Li-another camera-age hero-to even greater advantage.

This is the best action-adventure-comedy that Tsui has ever made, hence one of the year's most exhilarating entertainments.
