Story: When a stranger, Thaddeus, is found badly wounded near the village, miner Li Kung and his wife Ah Ni offer him refuge. As he heals, he becomes entrenched in a conflict that pits the townsfolk against the evil Master Ho, his nefarious Beetle Clan and the terrifying Lord Pi.

Likes : There a few things i liked about this film which give it a slight edge, one is the fact it follow on a story where it left off from the first film which is good to see so this has it going for it, as you see the character of the blacksmith aka iron fist on a journey to find peace in his heart.
The story start off a little slow with a few fight scenes, its kind takes you on a journey with this one like the king fu series, unlike the first film, it has more of a story concept of were he end up wounded in battle,find him self in a village that need help from a evil man story which is OK, but dosent really have the same effect as the first film had which is a shame.
Some of the acting cant be a little questionable at time but its ok, the use of location dose help the film alot in atmosphere, although this film is slightly OK its not without its flaw's.

Dislikes : Some of the dialog in this film is seriously bad feels cheesy which dosent help the film at all, although some battle scene were film good, i did notice the poor attempted at the combat scene's. These scene to me felt force & slow which made the combat arena fights unrealistic which ruin the flow of the film concept which is ashame because i felt this scene could have been done better to make it more realistic & believable

Overall : Great use of location, slightly poor dialog at times, poor combat fighting,but story is ok

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 5.6 out of 10 for combat scene / concept.
