I got this movie from the video store simply because it had Bolo Yeung in
it. And he is as big and powerful as ever. But he has toned down his
cruelty level, and plays a calm introspective type.
Don't let that fool you though. There are plenty of fight scenes in this
movie, and lots of big name, and simply big martial artists. Also as a big
plus, someone apparently taught Cynthia Rothrock how to stage fight without
missing the person by two feet, although sadly she still doesn't know how to
act without being annoying.
Oh BTW toward the end of the movie there are scenes of cinematic Kung Fu.
Portals through time, paralyzing touch etc. But it all works out into a fun
martial arts movie. Just don't go looking for plot.

Why weird, you ask? Well, consider these points:
1) It's called "Tiger Claws II", but the Tiger style is barely used in
it.
2) The first movie was a "track down the serial killer" story, this is
more of an "underground martial arts tournament" story.
3) Bolo Yeung is now - get this - a good guy! In the film's most
laughable line, he is referred to by Jalal Merhi as an "honorable man"!
I guess Merhi has gotten over the fact that several innocent people -
including his best friend - were killed by Bolo in the first "Tiger
Claws".
4) Cynthia Rothrock (who looks very good for 41) has virtually no
action scenes until the 50-minute mark, but does get a couple of good
fights near the end.
5) There some half-explained sci-fi elements, including time-traveling.
Two more points: the production values are slicker than those of most
DTV action sequels, and Evan Lurie, playing one of the bad guys, has a
kind of slimy charisma, as opposed to the lead Merhi, who has none at
all. (**)

There is only one scenario where you should watch "Tiger Claws II".
You are on an airplane which crashes in the South Pacific. The only
survivor, you swim to a nearby deserted island. You learn to eke out an
existence on this island by eating tropical fruit and spearing small
boars in the jungle. A monkey becomes your only friend, but every night
it hurls feces at you from a tree and chatters annoyingly. And it
doesn't just hurl its own feces, it actually gathers the feces of other
animals and throws that at you too. This goes on every night for 15
years.
One evening you are exploring and find a cave. Entering the cave, to
your surprise, you find a TV, VCR, and generator. You pull the cord on
the generator and again surprised, it starts. You plug the TV and VCR
in, but unfortunately the only movie is an old copy of "Tiger Claws
II". You wonder whether to spend another evening with the monkey, or
watch the movie.
This is the only scenario where you should watch "Tiger Claws II".
