Pauline Suen plays remorseless female psychopath from Mainland who seduces her cousin's wimpy husband. When her almost always horny cousin Kuen objects Suen proceeds to butcher her and use her meat for roast ribs.Totally unnecessary sequel to my beloved "The Untold Story".It's nowhere nearly as powerful and shocking as its sickeningly nasty predecessor.Anthony Wong returns as veteran cop Officer Lazybones who divides his time between arresting illegal chicken sellers and eating at Cheung's roast shop.The film is filled with lots of lame comedy and there is not enough gore and violence for my liking.The dismemberment of Kuen is quite gruesome and there is a bit of delicious sleaze,but I expected more.The film also spawned a second sequel "The Untold Story III" by Herman Yau.5 out of 10.
Plot summary
The blood flows freely in this sequel to the first Untold Story, which now finds Anthony Wong Chau-Sang in a different role; in a film that is just as violent and frightening as the original. An unhappily married couple invite the wife's beautiful cousin, who has survived a horrifying experience in Mainland China, to live with them. She has her own special way of overcoming hardship and becomes the master of the barbecue.

Very mediocre and lazily made Cat III offering.
The Untold Story:Part 2.
Ordered as imports from Hong Kong on DVD with DR Lamb and The Eight Immortals Restaurant: The Untold Story (1992 and 1993-both also reviewed) this final title is one that I for some reason kept pushing to the back of the pile. Selling the disc recently, I decided it was finally time to tell the story.
View on the film:
Made when not only the CAT III era had fizzled out but the Hong Kong film industry was declining as the industry in the Mainland started to grow, director Yiu-Kuen Ng & cinematographer Chiu-Lam Ko serve up a dish flavoured with the peak of the style, from the opening shot of a woman in the midsts of passion,lit with a sleazy atmosphere.
Plating up wacky Comedy antics from fast-zooms and brash colours over customers arguing with each other in the restaurant,Yiu-Kuen turns the heat up with tasty close-ups of customers unknowingly eating human ribs, diced to a kinky atmosphere of CAT III exposed skin,and jump-cuts to the head of the latest victim sitting in the fridge.
Invited by Kuen and her husband Cheung (a dead-pan,worn-down Emotion Cheung) to help at the restaurant,the screenplay by Kam-Fai Law brings Fung (played by a devilishly seductive Paulyn Sun) to disrupt the marriage and the slick Comedy exchanges,with a great CAT III raunchiness wrapping Cheung round her little finger, whilst Law gives Fung a macabre glee in cooking up a untold story.
Ineptitude And Murder
Some simpy pansy and his stupid horty torty wife who hate each other invite a cousin to stay over to only find out she's nuttier than a fruitcake and on the rag. The Untold Story 2 is an unofficial sequel to the vastly superior Eight Immortals Restaurant. The story and conception borrows very little from the first, instead is much more in tone with the movie Misery. It also reminds me a little of Miike's Audition. Also, for those readying to spread eagle and crank one over some bloody goodness like the r·tards that you are, tough ass. The gore and violence is much more timid. But, it is still a good movie with great acting performances of Anthony Wong and Paulyn Sun and I liked the story fairly well. Just not as gripping as the original. Actually, if I were you, I probably would avoid trying to compare this to the original and just see it as a movie of its own. Don't be a dingus like me. Ugh!
