Oh, wow. This is enlightening! I did not know this film was slammed by the Chinese community. No wonder the sequel release was halted for some years.

He became a self-made director because no one would adapt and film his works,

I now understand why he eventually released the sequel via online streaming. Indeed GJM has a distinct craft and he's doing great. The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity is on my next weekend watch list! ☺️

Thanks for your visit. Have a slice of !PIZZA and !PIMP 🙂
