I think this kind of misses the point. If you were expecting a movie called Black Mask 2: City of Masks to be any kind of art then you need to learn to judge a DVD by it's title. Tobin Bell phones in a passable performance (for Bell at his best go for the latter parts of 24 season 2) and Jon Politto also takes the money and does a by the numbers sleazy wrestling promoter. Traci Lords continues to be unable to throw off the stigma of being 'that chick who made blue movies underage' which is a massive shame as she's actually quite talented. Andy On does well as the Black Mask but whether he can really act or not is not clear or, indeed, relevant given the source material. The martial arts is entertaining but not spectacular. Basically this is the martial arts equivalent of one of those spoof movies that attempts to keep you entertained with a selection of cheap and chunky throwaway ideas and on the whole succeeds in delivering only what it promises and no more. Overall, good fun but nothing super special.

, 31st May 2004 steven.a.smart from DUNFERMLINE This is the movie that put an end to my little flirtation with all things Hong Kong Fuey. After seeing and reading about Kill Bill and The Matrix movies i decided to check out what all the fuss was about. I think decent movies of this genre are really hard to find and there are more rotten eggs out there than good. This plays like a TV pilot of the Power Rangers ilk, poor special effects, dull fight scenes and men in monster suits. The lead actess is easy on the eye but can't save this movie from the bin marked mediocre. Best to be avoided. Check out 'Iron Monkey' or the Matrix movies instead. If you still need some Asian action then check out John Woo's 'The Killer' or the Korean made 'Shiri'.

Questionable, 6th January 2005 A Customer from WALES Dire, Straight to video (DVD) sequel. A flimsy plot and questionable effects make this a film worth watching only for the comedy of seeing actors truly believe that they are supposed to stop mutant wrestlers!

NO WONDER JET LI TURNED IT DOWN, 20th March 2005 paul hunter from ANDOVER ,HANTS,ENGLAND WELL ALL JET LI FANS WILL DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS FILM...ONE ...HE IS NOT IN IT...TWO...WHAT A LET DOWN FOR A SEQUEL. NOT A BAD MOVIE...IF YOU LIKE YER WRESTLING CONNECTIONS...SOME GREAT FIGHTING SCENES...BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FALL ASLEEP... I HOPE THEY DONT MAKE ANOTHER ONE...PLEASE!!!

very cool underated martial arts action movie!, 10th April 2005 DAMON VAZQUEZ from HUNGERFORD, BERKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM This is a very good action movie, very underated lots and lots of action, this film is dubbed into english but does not spoil it all in the kill bill sense. I Bet this is on tarantinos hit list. Watch then grap a chinese, roll on fortune cookies!!

If ya like martial arts & hong kong movies, this is ideal for you. Superbly imaginative action set pieces and suprisingly good effects make up for a weak story. What else could you expect from the director of 'Once Upon A Time In China'. Grab a beer a settle into your favorite chair, quality.

I've tried to watch this so many times. Utter rubbish. i bought the film as I was a fan of the first. If you like martial arts watch. fist of legend. the blade. moon warriors. once upon a time in china 2. not this!

Our superhero has to fight bad guys who have had their DNA spliced with animal DNA, creating some crazy if unformidably named characters (Iguana & Chameleon!?!). However, it wasn't that bad really, it's a bit like a mix of Dark Angel (but a little less serious) and Guyver (with better make-up and special effects). There are quite a few well SEEN actors in this film, a few actors I knew but wouldn't know the name of if asked. Oh, and check out for the leading lady's condition, it's really nuts, and keep an ear out for the explaination, you could easily miss it.
