With this production, Wong sticks very closely to the novel in order to advance the intriguing story and depict Zhang as a righteous gentleman instead of a darker character from the original movie, and it certainly pays off. The movie also ends in an atypical fashion for adaptations of Heaven Sword And Dragon Sabre , which is slightly surprising but also abrupt. This security footage shows the bus driving along the side of a building, swerving to hit a car, and then crashing into the river. It just felt like it was dropped on the characters rather than the story organically growing to that conclusion. Wong must have learnt from the mistakes he made with the previous movie because this new version turns out to be an engrossing experience altogether, with a story that deals with honor, political intrigue, romance, action plus a pair of weapons with hidden secrets.
