Primary
The film critiques universal themes of tyrannical government and corruption, championing justice and freedom through individual heroism and collective action, without explicitly promoting specific progressive or conservative ideologies.
The film features a cast entirely consistent with its Hong Kong production and Chinese mythological setting, without any instances of race or gender swapping of roles. Its narrative centers on fantasy and political themes within ancient China, and does not engage with or critique traditional identities as defined by a Western framework.
Secondary
The film features female characters, Fu Ching-fung and Fu Ching-yuen, who are highly skilled martial artists and swordswomen. They are repeatedly shown to be victorious in close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, including guards and various demonic entities.
The film depicts Buddhist practices, particularly through the use of sutras and spiritual combat, as a powerful and righteous force against malevolent spirits and demons. Spiritual practitioners are portrayed as wise and effective heroes, aligning the narrative with the virtues of their faith.
A Chinese Ghost Story II does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The storyline centers on heterosexual romance and fantasy elements, thus the film's portrayal of LGBTQ+ issues is not applicable.
This film is a sequel where established characters retain their original genders. New characters introduced in this installment do not have prior canonical genders to be swapped from.
This film is a sequel to a Hong Kong fantasy film based on classical Chinese literature. The characters, derived from Chinese folklore, are consistently portrayed by East Asian actors, aligning with their established racial background. No characters established as one race are portrayed as a different race.
