A bunch of actions scenes loosely tied together by a plot

A divorced ex cop teams up with his divorce lawyer and a handsome stranger to fight a corrupt lawyer and businessman.

After rewatching this again, you can see that Hollywood in the 90s does not know how to direct action. The best example is here, where Robin Shu plays a convincingly formidable opponent to none other than the great Donnie Yen. Shou in the Mortal Kombat movies seems like a joke because the choreography is terrible and there are not real talents. This is the greatest strengths of Tiger Cage 2. There are great car chases, fight scenes and stunts. The fights look convincing in the sense that the moves are not flashy for the sake of exhibition, nor are they too intense that you would cringe. Yen's swordfight with John Salvitti, and leg to hand fight against Michael Wood are the best parts. But other scenes are brilliant such as the fight with David Wu.We also see that Hong Kong cinema does have strong female protagonists long before Hollywood. Rosamund Kwan was not just a pretty face but was pivotal in the story, she also had some badass moments too. Cynthia Kwan, who plays a supporting role, is also a strong detective and has one great action scene too. In short, this a great family action movie to enjoy. Because of the intense action scenes, it may get an R rating (I don't know) but for us Asians, we are totally cool.
