The Legend 2 is a Hong Kong martial arts film released in 1993. It stars Jet Li as Fong Sai Yuk, a historical figure who was a popular Chinese folk hero in the late Ming dynasty. The movie is directed by Corey Yuen and produced by Tsui Hark. The movie is a sequel to The Legend, which was released in 1993. The Legend 2 continues the story of Fong Sai Yuk, who is now a member of the anti-Manchu group, the Red Flower Society. The group is plotting to overthrow the Qing dynasty, which is ruling China at the time. The leader of the Red Flower Society is Josephine Siao's character, Empress Dowager. Adam Cheng plays the villain, Governor Yuen, who is working for the Qing dynasty.

The Legend 2 starts with Fong Sai Yuk and his mother, who is played by Josephine Siao, on the run from Government officials. They seek refuge in an inn where they meet a group of rebels who also oppose the Manchu rule. The Innkeeper is sympathetic to their cause and helps them with food and shelter. However, the Innkeeper has a daughter whom he wishes to marry off to Fong Sai Yuk. Fong Sai Yuk is not interested in marriage as he is devoted to the cause. In order to stop the Innkeeper's daughter from pursuing him, Fong Sai Yuk pretends to be homosexual.

Fong Sai Yuk and his mother leave the Inn and meet up with other members of the Red Flower Society. They discover that Governor Yuen is planning to attack them. Fong Sai Yuk and his mother head to the Governor's mansion where they encounter his daughter, who is being forced to marry one of his generals. Fong Sai Yuk falls in love with Governor Yuen's daughter and they form a bond. However, this puts Fong Sai Yuk in danger as Governor Yuen will not tolerate his daughter marrying a rebel.

As the Red Flower Society plans their next move, Fong Sai Yuk becomes a target for the government. In order to keep him safe, his mother sends him to train in the mountains with the legendary Shaolin monks. There, he learns new martial arts skills and becomes a formidable fighter. When he returns to the Red Flower Society, he discovers that they have been infiltrated by a spy who is working for Governor Yuen. The spy has already informed the Governor of their plans and he is waiting for them.

The Red Flower Society decides to go ahead with their plan to overthrow the Qing dynasty. Fong Sai Yuk and Governor Yuen have an epic fight scene to determine the fate of China. The entire city is on edge waiting to see who will be victorious. Will the Qing dynasty continue to rule, or will the Red Flower Society succeed in their coup d'etat?
