Wu Jing takes on Yu Cheng-Hui in the 2002 Chinese drama, Shaolin King of Martial Arts.
And yes, the Shaolin monk in this clip (Wu Jing) is the same guy from the upcoming, The Meg 2: The Trench.

Uncle Jiuming is very charming, and it's more-or-less fun, but for a film with three 'rex-devouring megasharks, a genuine kraken, and a death count in the dozens, this film holds absolutely no tension at all - and a movie that doesn't even bother to ask for investment inevitably comes across as boring, even if Jason Statham uses a shark as a jetski ramp to do a barrel-roll while throwing an explosive javelin at another shark.

Howdy folks!! The MEG 2 review here!
Spoilers Ahead! I'm about to say a bunch of stuff that can be determined from the trailer and by...you know movies, if you watch them enough, but still I'm warning you for spoilers.
Point 1 - No children (that we are introduced too) or dogs are harmed in this film.
Ok, onwards!
So for a joint American/Chinese production this movie has everything you would expect including:
1. Passable SFX
2. Joint heroism and ingenuity from both the American and Chinese protagonists
3. Technology referenced that doesn't exist yet
4. A good amount of language mingling
5. American villains but no Chinese villains cause that's how we roll.
6. A truly international cast
For this type of action/monster film we get everything we would expect including the following:
1. Ridiculous action sequences
2. Comically evil bad guys delivering comically evil lines about ocean exploitation
3. Two comic relief characters, one of which is now a badass
4. Very bad decisions, all around
5. Animals not acting like animals
6. Joyously oblivious people getting tragically (but in the funniest way possible) eaten
7. The main cast survives!
Bonus extras:
The opening sequence is hilarious!
Girls, women and black folk being badasses
One male character is just a babygirl. He goes with the menfolk to do action and just doesn't action...at all, it's great!
Jason Statham always looks pretty good
The new guy,Juiming is very quippy and capable so that's fun and not bad looking either.
A giant squid on megalodon fight, I think it was a little late but fun when it happened.
Silliness!! So much silliness, you will laugh, have fun with the jump scares and be like "oh no" throughout.
Critiques:
I had tooooo many kids in my theater 😝. These kids were young too, like under 10, I don't know what that was about.
This movie was about 1/2 hour too long. Not in a "I couldn't wait for it to end" kind of way. But the mainish villain should have died or been severely incapacitated at these 3 times since these people aren't superhuman. And the killing the sharks sequence definitely could have been trimmed.
As usual for this type of hybrid film (I don't think China wants to engage in these types of romances, right now) there are no romantic interests, which I appreciate, but very little was explained about what happened to the romantic interest from the last film.
Ok, so are you looking for something stupid to watch that provides air conditioning and eye candy watch the MEG2. You'll laugh at least!
Peace!!

Wow I finally watched Meg 2: The Trench
AND HOLY FUCK DID I LOVE IT
Excuse the language but Shark movies are my mother fucking SHIT! The cheesiest, most gooeyest of shark movies? GIMME THEM ALL! They are my absolute favourite and They make you laugh, they make you question reality and they make you think you can take on a whole ass Shar-kraken on your own. (I cannot BUT HEY I WON'T KNOW UNTIL I TRY-)
Listen, This movie has everything you could ever need or want:
-Dinosaurs (Babeh and Big Bois)
-SHORKS XTREME
-THE KRAKEEEEEEEEEENNNNN
-Adopted Dad
-Kick ass 14 year old who proves her worth while still being the baby of the group
-Dilfs 2.0
-Co-parenting dilfs
-Many parental figures to protect the child
-Did I mention dilfs?
-SOMEONE ACTUALLY LEARNING FROM PREVIOUS SHARK ENCOUNTERS AND COMING PREPARED THIS TIME
-Multitudes of Aunts and Uncles who would give their lives for the precious 14 year old baby of the group
-14 year old precious baby is not allowed to protect anyone with her life
-She does it anyway hahahah we love her
-FUCKIN SHARKTOPUS REMINICENSE???
-Did I mention hot people fighting Sharks and Krakens and dinosaurs and bad people?
-COMEDY. BUT LIKE...CHEESY COMEDY WHERE THE PEOPLE SAYING THE JOKES KNOW HOW CHEESY IT IS, BUT THEY SAY IT ANYWAY a personal favourite of mine
-FUCKING?? THIS MOVIE LOOKED INCREDIBLE?? IS THIS JUST ME WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?? WE GOT SO MUCH SUSPENSE?? INTENSE?? ACTION?? SEND HELP??
-Karma getting satisfyingly served
-The dog lives I WAS EXTREMELY STRESSED
-"You miss your Ma?" SOBBING
-Man and Shark connections that have no relations to dolphins at all
-Wu Jing is so hot and the fun protective uncle send help this is my weakness
In other words this is a modern day cheesy shark movie that owns it and is now one of my favourite movies of all time. Period.
If you're having a bad day, if you need a laugh and to roll your eyes, please watch this movie. You won't regret it.
#I just love them all so much#alright i need to post this before suddenly this is pages long#meg 2: the trench#Meg 2: the trench spoilers#meg 2 the trench#jason statham#wu jing#sharkposting#just shark thoughts#shark posting#cheesy shark movies for the win#the meg#melissanthi mahut#my bisexuality is THRIVING#alright I came back to this post because i'm not gonna lie to you Jason is also easy on the eyes like DAMN

Meg 2: The Trench - an impressively stupid movie....
I quite enjoyed the first Meg movie. Sure, it did take itself a little more seriously then it needed to and it was plenty cheesy when it wasn't trying to be, but it was overall pretty fun and it knew to make a film titled 'The Meg' to be about the Meg. There were fairly long extended sequences dealing with both Megs. So I was looking forward to Meg 2, and the first trailer seemed to indicate that they knew what tone to hit. Unfortunately, the trailer turned out to be misleading as we instead got a pretty dumb movie which is barely about the monsters.
There are times when I genuinely wonder what writers were thinking when they conceptualize these movies. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to understand that people just want Jason Statham fighting giant sharks or any other monsters they can think of. It isn't that hard. But this film is filled with 2/3 corporate espionage/environment plot which didn't even make much sense, with some seriously annoying villains. Only in the last 1/3 does the movie embrace what the trailer was selling and we get our human heroes fighting the Megs and other monsters. Problem is that it becomes far too chaotic. There are 3 Megs which are difficult to distinguish from each other, human villains, a Kraken, and some Lizard monsters. So it becomes silly in an unintended way. The actual Megs are just kind of plot devices. They are there to cause some destruction and then they are kind of just around in the background as a threat. But they are never the focus. I also found it a little tasteless that the move kills off Suyin between movies. It was really not necessary. I get they want a child character and so they wanted to retain Meiying but they could have come up with another explanation for her not being there. It kind of ruins the romance that was present in the first film. We essentially get a replacement character in Wu Jing's Jiuming, with he and Statham's Taylor essentially co-parenting Meiying.
Additionally, while the first Meg movie was bright and sunny, Meg 2 spends a large part of the movie in darkness, either in an underwater station or in the darkness of the trench. The film only brightens up when the film literally reached a place called 'Fun Island'. Despite the chaos, admittedly, there is enough goofy fun to had in the last act. The cast is generally fine. Statham does his Statham thing as Jonas Taylor. Wu Jing, Cliff Curtis, Page Kennedy, and Shuya Sophia Cai are all likable. Page Kennedy gets in a couple of good laughs, especially relating to his experienced in the first film and the changes he has experienced since. The bond between Jonas and Meiying is sweet. The special effects are largely solid.
Overall, the first 2 acts kind of drag which is why the movie is overall a little disappointing. It shouldn't be that hard to make a movie like this, at least from a story point of view. I would give it a 4.5/10. Watchable largely for the fun l had in the last act.
