Director S. Chow remarked:
“While a bit of specifics in the future of the project, I cannot say what fans can expect from Showdown in Kung Fu Style 2. We do our best to piece together a few things that are important to the picture. "
Fans should hardly wait for a direct continuation, tk. Chow says that “the film will be more of a“ spiritual continuation ”of the original. It is probably better to describe it as a reboot than a sequel. "
For years, fans of Chinese cinema have been well versed in Stephen Chow's action films. And while other Chinese stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li were gaining fame in Hollywood, doubts began to arise that Chow's films would be as popular.
In 2004, doubts disappeared when the first part of Kung Fu Showdown became a hit in the American box office.
