aka Sien nui yau wan II yan gaan do. "I'll die with the one I love."
Ning (Leslie Cheung) is on the run after being mistaken for a bandit, and is befriended by a wandering Taoist Autumn (Jacky Cheung), who fights demons. They are attacked by some rebel warriors and Ning falls for one of their number, Windy (Joey Wong) who just happens to look like the ghost Siusin, who he fell for in the first installment. Autumn explains they are fighting the evil general and Ning tags along fascinated by Windy's resemblance to Siusin. They are determined to rescue her father who is held captive by the general, but in doing so they have to battle more than just men.
An extremely entertaining fantasy horror, which is almost the equal of its first installment. The film is an energetic and breathtaking run through various myths, legends. With incredulous monsters and evil spirits which the team must defeat, thrown in for good measure. The sometimes now cheesy effects only serve to add to the whole chaotic enjoyment.
