The Untold Story 2

The Untold Story was a shocking and gory movie (plus, it had a memorable performance of Anthony Wong), it was successful enough to make producers invest in more CAT III films.

After 5 years since the original release of The Untold Story, Yiu-Kuen Ng directs this sequel in name only.

When i saw it for the first time, i was disappointed, since it didn't have much gore in comparison of the original (the only gore scene in this movie wouldn't go beyond the R-rating), when i watched it for the second time, i thought that it was a decent CAT III film. Like i said, the gore is toned down, but in The Untold Story II, the sexual content is boosted.

We get to see Anthony Wong, in this movie he plays a cop, i thought that his role was supposed to be nothing more than a glorified cameo, but he has many scenes, and his scenes are pretty fun to watch.

If you are looking for a gorefest, you will be pretty much disappointed, The Untold Story II was made when the trend of CAT III movies was declining, probably, because of the budget, the director didn't had a lot of ideas on how to shock the audience, but i found the movie to be entertaining.

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.

Well if you have seen part one, you know a bit what to expect. The acting is good, especially the husband. The cousin is strikingly spooky in her own cute way. If you like naked women and dismemberment, check this one out, you will not be disappointed.

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!

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!
