Didn't he already do this?


Isn't this almost the exact same plot as he has in his other move The Last Kung Fu Monk? The only difference I can tell is they swap out the nephew with a niece.

no this is a sequel.

If you watched both movies there does seem to be some elements that make it seem like a sequel but it's not a sequel. In the first one his brother died and he had to take care of his nephew Michael but in the second movie there is no trace of Michael at all. He already had a white student and they both started a school together in the first one and they duplicated that in the second one. There's a lot of details missing in both and no subtitles to help with the story. There's a scene in the first where he is kicked out of Shaolin but is never addressed yet in the second movie the girl finds out he was kicked out but no flashback scenes were ever shown about this in the second movie. It's like they wanted to redo the first movie with different things but half way through wanted it to be sort of like a sequel and everything got confusing.
