Not better than Part 1 but more action

Warning: Spoilers
The second part of the Sandokan films has more action and more fighting than the first one. The story is the same as in Part 1, maybe a bit less romantic and with a bit less background story but Sandokan and his men fighting for the freedom of his people and country against the even more evil British colonial forces. This time we saw three major battles here. The first one on a Dutch ship, occupied by British soldiers. The pirates attack the Ship where Sandokan is still on board and massacre the British soldiers in series on deck. This continues in the second battle when the imprisoned Sandokan escapes from a labour camp with a mine. Once again the Malayan fighters take over a machine gun and Sandokan begins a mass slaughter of the British soldiers. During the machine gun raid and in a fight after this almost 100 Britsh soldiers (I count 96!) were massacred. Red British uniform en masse lying around in the yard of the camp, completely and one-sided defeated by Sandokan. The is violently stuff but the action is cool and a must have in this kind of movies I think. At the end of the movie there is another battle (or should I say another massacre?). Sandokan and his men free a noble Malayan from a mountain fortress. Once again we saw a mass kill of soldiers, slaughtered everywhere by the natives and this means a final triumph of the natives over the British rule.

Tough and violent action in this movie. If you like mass battles and 60's Italo Trash Movies, this is the right one for you.
