Tiger Cage II (1990)
8/10
A bunch of actions scenes loosely tied together by a plot

Warning: Spoilers
Des Mangan said in the intro to this movie that it was basically all action tied together by a few other scenes. When he said this he was not wrong. Tiger Cage II is not a movie about themes but rather a movie with a nice little plot and a lot of action. Even with this there are still things that one can draw out of a movie to tell us about the people around us.

A case full of money has been brought to Hong Kong to be laundered but someone in the firm wants the money for himself so betrays them and tries to get the money. Unfortunately the money is hidden and they think that a cop and a female lawyer have something to do with it, but they do not. Thus the two unfortunates find themselves running away from the law and the criminals as they try to stay alive and clear their names.

I guess the major thing that comes out of the movie is how money decides the goals of everybody. This money causes people to betray each other, kill each other, and turn those who were good into criminals. The cop and the lawyer are not criminals but were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Fortunately, unlike American movies, the filmmakers reveal a way in which the cop and the lawyer are cleared for the superintendent learns who the guy behind the robbery really is.

This movie is simply pure action. There is no reason as to why it is called Tiger Cage II and has absolutely no connection with the previous movie, which was about corruption in the police force. Tiger Cage II is simply a movie with a lot of cool action and one to watch for all of those who love their martial arts and their action.
