Title: Ugh, Disney ruins another classic
Review: Fong Sai Yuk 2 is my favorite Jet Li movie bar none. I'd give it 6 stars out of 5. Why do I enjoy it so much? Because in addition to a lot of wonderful over the top martial arts you get a tremendous amount of hilarity and top shelf comedic acting from both Jet Li and Josephine Siao, who plays his mother. Sadly, the english dubbing of this version of the movie re-titled apparently at random by Disney as "The Legend 2" eliminates Li and Siao's priceless performances. What you get instead is 10th rate otherwise-unemployed American actors stumbling their way through a lot of generic, sanitized dialogue in the footage which remains after much of the comedy has been edited out. That's right, actual footage has been edited out of this version. Sheesh. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid this version of the movie. Look for the original language, subtitled, uncut version entitled "Fong Sai Yuk 2" which is available from various online sources.
