A sequel to Forbidden Kingdom, Iron Mask is a bizarre fantasy-adventure. The story follows a cartographer who’s sent to the Far East to map the reign as he comes across a Chinese witch; meanwhile a deposed Russian Czar escapes from the Tower of London and makes his way to a merchant ship. Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger are featured and provide some fun fight scenes, but on the whole the cast is pretty weak (and the bad voice dubbing exacerbates it). Also, the tone is way too comedic; taking away any tension or stakes that the film has. Still, there are a few exciting action scenes and some of the comedy works. Yet while it has its moments, Iron Mask is a crazy mess that doesn’t work on any level.
