"A Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2" is a superior movie in most ways to its original. The first one was an uneasy mix of sex, violence, and humour, which didn't have the guts to look at its subjects closely enough to be sexy or horrifying, and wasn't funny, either.The sequel is a heady mixture of the first two ingredients, with a fortunate absence of the latter. Whereas the first movie only really used sex and nudity as an afterthought, never treating it as sexy, this sequel takes its time with sexy asides that become erotic as a result. Further, the first showed numerous "tortures", though mostly these were played for laughs, I guess. There was nothing to make you cringe or want to look away, it was all pretty ridiculous. Well, "ACTCS2" does make you cringe, perhaps due to the lack of comedy this time around. There's a piping hot metal dildo, a boiling liquid tipped into ear canals, nipples and tongues being ripped out...While still nothing close to the more extreme CAT III offerings like "Untold Story", "A Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2" actually does what its title implies. The story is still pretty hard to follow, but nobody watches movies like these for the story, right?

After the unbelievably sweet original I was pretty rearin' to go to see this one. Unfortunately it didn't really mimic the original in anyway besides....the Chinese Torture. Instead it went for a more serious tone which kinda left me feeling neutral about the film the entire way through. The first one had all types of creativity and actually had some good laughs, but this one focused more on adult issues like loyalty and adultery. If you haven't seen the first, you should be absolutely fine with how this plays out. It's only after a couple days seeing the sequel am I now in that state. I was really hoping for more naked flying sex people, and people jumping out of their skin. One thing the sequel did do better than the first, because of it's new found tone, is handle sex scenes better. There are some real hot and heavy sex scenes in this one. I can easily say I enjoyed the first more, but this one delivered the goods in certain areas. Don't hesitate to check this film out if you're looking for some Chinese Torture Story action.

PART 2 is a little more serious and in-depth than the first one, but still along the same lines: 2 brothers and their wives (well 1 of the chicks is a "fiance", technically...) are out robbing people for their dinner, and come across this kung-fu master, who after hanging out with the family for a night, swears to be their friends and take care of them however he can. Kung-fu man goes on to become a head-honcho in the government, and the others come calling for hand-outs 6 months later. Kung-fu Prince gives the 2 brothers jobs in the government, but only does so 'cuz he wants the brothers to die so he can bang their women. Lots of torture and sex ensue, making for a fun film all-around. The sex and violence is poured on a little thicker in A Chinese TORTURE CHAMBER STORY 2, and this is a good thing. But Part 1 had some truly hilarious scenes that make these 2 films balance out. Both get equal votes in my book, and although they aren't the best example of what the HK CAT III genre has to offer, they're still worth a look... 8/10

I've seen the original and now I've seen the sequel. It is good to see that a sequel that has outshined the original!What is this movie about? Different types of torture, dismemberment, sodomy, horrific rape scenes, gratuitous naked scenes and sex scenes, plus, as a bonus, a plot with a twist!!!If you are into this type of thing, don't miss this one.
