The first Flying Guillotine movie was kind of slow and dull in places, but Flying Guillotine II is a right mess. Bizarre, unmotivated camera movement, too-quick editing that confuses the action, messy fight choreography filled with mistakes, awkward subtitles with strange choices and nothing on the many written messages shown throughout, and a mismanaged shared focus between Ti Lung's heroic rebel and the quasi-feminist story of Szu Shih's female Guillotine in her sweet pink pajamas. The Dragon Dynasty series has really fallen on hard times lately, coming out with poorer and poorer material. It's not a complete loss, mind you. Though badly made, it's still fast-paced enough to be an entertaining game of rock-paper-scissors, or hats vs. umbrellas. It's something to watch with friends while you point and laugh, not worth it unless found in a bargain bin. 8 years 9 months ago
