Tiger Cage 2 is a 1990 Hong Kong action film directed by Yuen Woo-Ping. Donnie Yen, Carol Cheng, and Michael Woods return for the sequel, but this time the movie follows an entirely new storyline far from Tiger Cage with all-new characters. Its cast introduces David Wu, Cynthia Khan, Rosamund Kwan, and Robin Shou.Donnie Yen, Yuen Woo-ping and Cynthia Khan would collaborate once again later, in In the Line of Duty 4: Witness.Donnie Yen plays a hot-headed ex-cop named Dragon Yau whose attitude has got him in trouble with his bosses and his wife. On a trip to the lawyers, he witnesses a robbery go down where a suitcase of money disappears and a lot of guys get shot. Somehow, he ends up with lawyer Mandy Chang (Rosamund Kwan) on the run from the cops who think they committed a murder and from the bad guys that think they have the money. Reluctantly they are forced to form an alliance with one of the bad guys, David (David Wu), who has been betrayed by the Triads led by Waise Chow (Robin Shou). | |

Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife: Yau's failing marriage is noted to be this when his wife files for a divorce at Mandy's Lawfirm. His attitude is so radioactive that it not only gets him in trouble at work as a cop, it's pushed his wife to get away from him. | |

Chained Heat: Inspector Yau ends up getting unintentionally handcuffed to Mandy after a botched arrest scene. And what's even worse, his right hand is cuffed to her right hand, meaning there's absolutely zero room of maneuverability, and all this happens in the middle of a fight scene, where Yau attempts to perform a flying kick on David... only to have the cuffs snag him down and making him trip mid-jump. | |

In a strange effect, Waise uses a high kick to break through the remains of said glass door. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Inspector Yau is subjected to torture by having his chest pressed against the front wheel of an exercise cycle while his hands are cuffed to the handlebars, while a thug forces Mandy (Whose tied to the bike) to repeatedly pedal the cycle to cut into his chest. Yau, being Donnie Yen and Made of Iron, only exclaims "The massage feels so good!" | |

Butt-Monkey: Inspector Yau is probably the most accident-prone character Donnie Yen has portrayed, from getting tangled with the obnoxious lawyer Mandy, getting unintentionally handcuffed to her which results in him nearly getting run over by a truck, getting filthy water dumped on his head during a stake-out, forced to hide in a water tank full of kitchen waste, nearly getting arrested by the police after losing his badge, and getting put through torture. | |

No Honor Among Thieves | |

No Honor Among Thieves: After Kent dies during the robbery, David suspects that there is a traitor among the Triads. Waise questions David on if he and Kent were followed while traveling to Hong Kong from the United States, but David tells him that they would have been caught earlier if that was the case. Someone knew ahead of time where they would meet with the Briefcase and when they would leave the building. And David was right to be suspicious. Waise sent his thugs to follow him the same day Yau and Mandy went looking for David. So he knew right away who the traitor was. | |

Casting Gag: Donnie Yen, David Wu, Robin Shou, and Cynthia Khan all appeared in the In The Line Of Duty movie series. Robin appeared as one of the dogged bodyguards of Yamamoto in In the Line of Duty III: Force of the Dragon and then later in In The Line Of Duty 6 Forbidden Arsenal as Paul. Donnie would appear as police lieutenant Donnie in In the Line of Duty 4: Witness. David would appear as David Ng in In The Line Of Duty 5 Middle Man. A significant portion of the cast, specifically Donnie Yen, John Salvitti, Michael Woods and Cynthia Khan previously appeared in In the Line of Duty 4: Witness, which was also directed by Yuen Woo-Ping. Gary Chow also appeared in the later sequels In The Line Of Duty 6 Forbidden Arsenal and In The Line Of Duty 7 Sea Wolves. Donnie Yen, Carol Cheng, and Rosamund Kwan all starred in the Once Upon A Time In China II. David Wu, Carol Cheng, and Rosamund Kwan both starred in The Banquet. Donnie Yen and Michael Woods are again in a film collaboration of at least 6 onscreen collaborations. | |

Inside Job: Waise Chow, a lawyer who is apart of the Triads, set up David and Kent to be killed in an elevator robbery to hide the fact that he was behind the robbery and overthrowing Uncle Chiu. Being that he was Chiu's Second-In-Command, that also is a Rules Lawyer, it would be easy for him to hide his dirty dealings from the Lawfirm and the Organization he worked for. | |

Foreshadowing: When Kent runs off during the robbery, he's carrying a bullet riddled briefcase. When he runs into the second elevator and then flees to the Parking Garage, the briefcase is nowhere to be seen. After Kent dies, David notices that the briefcase is missing. This gives off the hint that the briefcase was still somewhere in the Lawfirm building. Meaning that Waise and David were looking in the wrong places and people for it. It was hidden right under their noses. | |

Red Herring | |
| Tiger Cage 2 / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: When Yau burns a note to light a cigar in the Karaoke Bar scene, some fans familiar with A Better Tomorrow will think he will die just like Mark; since Donnie Yen's character Terry didn't survive the first Tiger Cage. For context, Buddhists burn money (Fake money, not real) during funerals, so that the dead will have money in the afterlife. It seems like Donnie's characters are destined to die in the Tiger Cage series. As it turns out, that is not the case in the second film. Yau lives to the end. It's David that doesn't make it. | |

Clothing Damage: Mandy's first outfit gets badly ripped up when escaping the police with Yau. During David's fight with Waise, Waise tears off his necktie and rips open his shirt to break free from being choked by David grabbing his necktie.

Chain Pain | |
| Tiger Cage 2 / int_e6b3e4f2 | comment |
Chain Pain: In the final battle, the Scary Black Man thug uses a chain to attack Inspector Yau. He momentarily gets the drop on Yau by restraining his wrists with the chain, but Yau got back up as quickly as he's down. | |

Recycled Script | |
| Tiger Cage 2 / int_f4231181 | comment |
Recycled Script: There are similarities from the first film found in the sequel: There's a celebration of a couple getting together at the beginning of the story. Shirley and Lung were going to get married in the first film. Mandy and Phillip got engaged and merged their Law Firm. There's a traitor on the inside who puts in excessive effort to cover their tracks. Inspector Huang in the first. Waise in the sequel. There is a Drug trade going down in secret. Uncle Tat with the foreigners in the first. Waise Chow with the American thugs in the second. Carol Cheng plays a character who is the object of the Big Bad's affection. The difference is that Shirley in the first film survived. Petty wasn't so lucky. Nevermind the fact that Shirley survived Huang's assault on her and that there were hints of Waise wanting to do the same to Petty, whom he was in a relationship with. An assassin is sent out to kill someone who knows too much. Uncle Tat and Amy in the first, but Tat survived. Petty and Waise's assistant in the sequel. Like Amy, Petty wasn't lucky. A good cop is framed for a crime they didn't commit. Fan in the first. Yau in the second. A Love Interest is in danger of being killed because they witnessed a crime. Amy in the first. Mandy in the second. Amy was targeted by the Big Bad because she watched the tape Fan recorded of Uncle Tat's drug exchange. Mandy witnesses the robbery extend to the parking garage, but she lived because Yau saved Mandy when she was in danger multiple times. Amy wasn't so lucky. There's a Designated Girl Fight between a cop and a henchwoman. Inspector Shirley vs Huang's henchwoman in the first. Inspector Yeung vs. Waise's assistant in the second. A Desecrating the Dead scene is present. The Black thug is killed in Uncle Tat's apartment and repeatedly punch by an enraged Tat in the first. Waise kicks over a dead Uncle Chiu in the second. Donnie Yen vs. Michael Woods. Woods' character dies from being impaled in different situations. One of the main characters is killed by the Big Bad. Terry by Inspector Huang in the first film. David by Waise in the sequel. | |

Ceiling Cling: During the storm drain sequence, a character hides from goons by doing this. Unfortunately for him, his necktie is hanging down directly into the path of the cigarette lighter that one bad guy is using as a light source; his tie catches fire and he is discovered. | |
