Hong Kong Fooey... but fun
*Serious* HK Action nuts wail over how the mighty Tsui (Pronounced Tchoy) Hark maker of the allegedly awesome Once Upon A Time In China (it's in my queue) could be reduced to making adolescent Power Rangers rip offs like this. 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. -
