Story: A ruthless Japanese megalomaniac and warlord, Lord Godless and his son want to invade China and rule over it. The nation turns to a mysterious warrior Nameless, to save them. But Nameless seems to have had enough of violence and sends out his two emissaries, Cloud and Wind, instead. But before they can fight Godless, Cloud and Wind must master the martial arts themselves. Get ready for chopsucky....
Storm Warriors 1, the earlier sequel was released almost 11 years ago and did manage to create a following for the Pang brothers. This time again, the director duo return with a special effects orchestrated adrenaline-pumper that has enough to offer for action aficionados.
Movie Review: It's essentially a one-liner plot that anchors all the clash-bang baazooka. Comic book warriors Cloud (Aaron Kwok) and Wind (Ekin Cheng) must save China from the ungodly Mr Godless. And the only way they can do it is by undergoing extreme martial arts training which includes some psychological and ethical tampering too. If they really want to win this war against evil, then Wind must turn sufficiently evil too, according to their tutor, aptly called Nameless (Kenny Ho). But there's a catch. If Wind turns completely evil, there shall be havoc and no one shall have the power to control his murderous spree. So, how does Wind measure the modicum of vile he must inject into his psyche if he wants his sword to slash the right heads only? Can the beautiful Second Dream (Charlene Choi) bring him back from the brink; or is it left to his old comrade Cloud to tame his sword and turn his eyes back from mean yellow to gentle brown...
Don't mind the dubbing: it's terrible. Go for the fizz and the lightning of a full blown martial arts comic book venture instead.
