Is the Best of the Best from 96 a sequel to the one from 92?

I thought maybe it was since I saw Karen Mok in both and they seem to be about SDU. 96 BOB is good, hopefully there will be more action in the 92 BOB.

You're thinking of Sammi Cheng. She was in BOB '92 with Jacky Cheung. I preferred it myself, but can't remember how much action is it. I think it's more character-driven than the gung-ho Andrew Lau movie, but my memories are a little vague.

I know who Karen Mok is. "Ms. Karen Kook!"

BOB 96 is character driven, but I was just wondering if BOB 92 had any correlation with it. The 92 movie is done by some guy named Herman Yau. Karen Mok does not have a character name listed on IMDB, so I thought there was a chance they were related. imdb.com/title/tt0104245/ (http://imdb.com/title/tt0104245/)

I know who Karen Mok is.

Then you'll know she wasn't in Herman's Yau's Best of the Best. Who said she was...?

BOB 96 is character driven

BOB92 is less of an action movie than BOB96; that's what I meant by character-driven.

I have only seen BOB 96. I was just wondering if they were correlated since IMDB says BOB 92 also has Karen Mok in it. ??

hey,

Those Were the Days from the 90s were not connected either. My point being that HK was seriously lacking innovation to even come up with diferrent titles in English. :)

I thought, BEST OF THE BEST´96 were the sequel to Gordon Chan´s FINAL OPTION (I´ve read it somewhere). At least it follows the same concept and is produced by Golden Harvest.

The IMDB is full of crap.

Looks like a sequel.

Dammit, I was wrong. My Hollywood Video doesn't have Final Option, it has some movie called G4 Option Zero. Is this any good?

hey,

I liked G4, kind of a quirky version of these kind of movies. Dante Lam seems to like that on occassion.
