^^^oh..thanks, maybe it didn't turn out to be as good as the 1st one 'cause of Tony Ja's debut as a director. I guess we'll give him some more time to mature as one and we'll be seeing some amazing stuff. I still need to watch it though. I really thought the first one was very refreshing and...

I'm a guy and I can kick your ass...period........jk! People always say that I have the patience of a saint, or an angel, or something like that........dammit..........Jk...I do have a lot of patience!!

Now this one is a cult classic that pioneered Martial art film making back in the early 70's. This film was overshadowed by Enter the Dragon though, which came out later on the same year. You can also see a very young Bolo Yeung in this movie. On a different comical note.... I always use this...
