The two make a very odd combo, as our hero spends the first movie proving himself worthy of China’s G.I. Joe and then leaves them to become a rootless adventurer in a flashback after the opening action scene in the second.
Which, as Breihan notes, has him jumping off a cargo ship being attacked by pirates, fighting a group of them underwater to steal their boat and shooting a guy about to fire a rocket launcher so the rocket hits the screen, all presented as a oner. This is what got me to watch both of them.
(And they’re not as odd a pairing as previous entrants Kill Zone and Kill Zone 2, which are both dark crime thrillers with a whole lot of MMA action but which have entirely different casts except a couple of actors playing different characters. Wu Jing plays a minor villain Donnie Yen kills in the first and then the hero in the second, before writing, directing and starring in Wolf Warrior.)
