Those of you who lived around 20 years ago might have remembered seeing this gem of a kung fu movie. In fact, it was so great that only gas stations dared sell it, alongside another movie about the dangers of rafting while other people were shooting at you. And if that's not a certificate of its quality, let me tell you a little about this movie.
Anyway, Big Boss 2, which is NOT a Bruce Lee movie -- in fact, it doesn't even have anything to do with Big Boss 1 -- has to be one of the corniest, low budget Kung Fu movies I have ever seen, despite the run-of-the-mill plotwork. (It's revenge, see? Kill my parents, will you?)
Some ingredients? Why, sure. We have ninja wearing cone hats, we have a hero who delivers the smackdown by literally jumping two giants INTO the ground (after pulling out their teeth and punching them in the face with their own teeth still in hand, and I'm not joking), we have a great scene where a girl knocks out some guards by throwing roof tiles at them and THEN throws the tiles back in place. And then, there's the training scene(s) with the thirty candles and.... oh man, there's just to much nonsense to include here, I could spend an eternity making a list.
And it's DUBBED too. Badly, might I add.

Oh man, that tooth-giant thing sounds orgasmic.

Well, personally, I thought the scenes with the three blue-clad, knife/shuriken throwing minions was a whole lot funnier. Especially as they were introduced by the female lead as "There's (name of first guy), (name of second guy) and there's (name of third guy), that horrible fellow." (As if the two others were nice guys, deep down inside.)

Hmm. For some reason, a Google search comes up with a completely different Big Boss 2 movie. I guess the original title of this movie might have been something completely different.
