Added DiffLines:

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Tien Lung's LoveInterest, Xiao-yu, as well as Xiao-yu's father who trained Tian-Lung in the previous film is somehow absent without a trace.


Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: The movie is this compared to it's predecessor, ''One Armed Boxer''; the first movie's turning point is Tien Lung's entire school, his friends and teachers included, massacred by his rivals with himself being the SoleSurvivor, and Tien Lung embarking TrainingFromHell to attain his revenge. In the sequel Tien Lung is already a badass, the follow-up film has more focus on the fighting instead of drama, and Tien Lung doesn't face as much obstacles in it compared to the first movie.
