Reviewed by: mrblue Date: 09/27/2005 A restaurant owner, Chung (played by Cheung Kam-Ching), is having quite a dilemma. His business isn't going very well; his only steady "customers" (who mooch more food than they pay for) are a local VCD bootlegger and a cowardly cop known as "Lazyboots" (Wong). Even when he does manage to make some money, it all goes to his bitchy wife (Yeung), who spends it on mahjongg and underwear for her boyfriend (it seems Chung also has a "little" problem in bed). Things seem to brighten up when Chung's sister-in-law (Sun) comes to visit. However, after a series of strange events, both Chung and Lazyboots suspect something's wrong with the visitor and their respective investigations turn up something beyond belief. Like most Cat III movies, The Untold Story 2 roams all over the map. It starts out with a graphic masturbation scene and then segues into comedy with Lazyboots hunting down a group of errant chickens. Until about halfway through the film, The Untold Story 2 plays out like a standard Cat III sex romp with much more sex than violence. However, once the pieces of the puzzle come together (mostly from a very gory death and dismemberment scene), The Untold Story 2 does manage to deliver some thrills. Ironically, though (at least for the genre), it's the parts that don't have that much blood or breasts in them that are the best in the film, mostly due to Paulyn Sun's wonderfully schizophrenic performance. In a genre where serial killers are a dime a dozen, Sun -- like Anthony Wong in the first film -- manages to create a character out of a stereotype, which makes this story worth telling. Those jaded by the recent spate of cheesy horror movies with pretty kids running around should check The Untold Story 2 out and see what real horror cinema is all about. It's not as good as the first film, but should make for a bloody good night's viewing for horror/exploitation fans. (In case you were wondering, this film bears no relation to the first besides a similar "tasty treat" and lots of violence.) [review from www.hkfilm.net]

Reviewed by: Arshadnm6 Date: 04/09/2005 Summary: Too little Gore and Too little Plot-Development!!! A satisfactory movie with a few too many explicit scenes, which to some viewers might be unnecessary considering this is supposed to be a gory horror movie. The movie starts of with ‘Cheung Kam Ching’ (you might recognize him from movie appearances, such as ‘The Conman’or ‘Bio-Zombie), who runs a Roast Shop / Restaurant with his gambling, cheating and seductive wife ‘Yeung Fan’ (whom you might recognize made an appearance in ‘Raped by an Angel 2’). Due to Cheung’s impotency, he doesn’t seem to be able to sexually satisfy his wife and therefore his wife looks elsewhere. Later in the movie you are introduced to Cheung’s Wife’s Cousin ‘Fang’ (Pauline Suen, whom some fans might recognize from her later work in the acclaimed ‘Ichi the Killer’), an attractive mainland woman who seems to hide her violent past. Cheung falls for Fang and later inadvertently kills his seductive wife ‘Yeung’ and together they decide to cut her up from limb to limb and cook her. You can probably guess that they obviously intend to sell the meat in Cheung’s Roast Shop (as was the case in ‘Untold Story’). Anthony Wong also appears in this movie, quite frequently, which to his hard-core fans might be very pleasing. Anthony Wong plays a veteran rugged cop which seems to spend more time solving useless cases, such as the illegal selling of poultry, more than actually solving any real ones. Unfortunately the movie has a lot of dark moments where at times the only person whom seems to be suspicious of Cheung’s Wife’s disappearance is Anthony Wong and very little gore is actually shown, unlike the other previous movie. At times you might actually be sympathizing with Cheung since every woman he meets seems to use him and treat him like he is an adolescent child. Overall the movie can be barely watch-able at times, but seems to have a decent plot to keep the viewer hooked on for long enough. The end to this movie is a little short and not very satisfying and the presence of ‘Danny Lee’ is missed deeply. I would only recommend this movie if you simply want to watch the whole ‘Untold Story’ series just to complete one of your life ambitions, otherwise avoid this like the plague at all times and for the viewers only interested in the explicit scenes, I suggest you play them in slow-motion, since the longest scene only lasts about 90 seconds. Overall Rating: 6.8/10

Reviewed by: Sydneyguy Date: 10/17/2001 Summary: ok ish Nothing much but a standard psycho movie with a bit of sex and some body part chopping!! The movie is more character driven than plot, but it isn't that scary. The ending gives you a good thrill but it comes too late!! 6/10

Reviewed by: hellboy Date: 09/14/2000 While this sequel lacks the visceral punch that the first Untold Story had, it still has high production values and is a very good stand alone film. Anthony Wong plays a cop who frequents a local barbeque eatery. The owner of the eatery is a timid man who is ridiculed publicly by his wife for being impotent. Of course his wife is also cheating on him. His wife's cousin also arrives from the mainland and she seems to have a problem controlling her psychotic rage. The barbeque owner and the cousin start a sexual fling so it's little surprise who ends up on the chop. A sequel in name only. If you like good old fashioned catagory III mayhem check it out! On an interesting side note Melvin Wong seems to be trapped in roles that call for him to be a police captain. Check out Righting Wrongs and Yes Madam! I think he doesn't even change his clothes anymore. 8/10 Reviewer Score: 8
