SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Second Time Around, try these.

A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella poster 01

Movie / 1995 / Comedy

A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella

Why this pick

Jeffrey Lau brings the same gleefully anachronistic comic energy to a mythic romance, balancing broad farce, playful costume-pageantry, and a surprisingly heartfelt romantic core.

The Eagle Shooting Heroes poster 02

Movie / 1993 / Action / Comedy

The Eagle Shooting Heroes

Why this pick

Another Jeffrey Lau ensemble romp, built around absurdly heightened wuxia characters, rapid-fire silliness, disguises, and colourful period fantasy rather than solemn martial-arts grandeur.

The Flirting Scholar poster 03

Movie / 1993 / Drama / Comedy

The Flirting Scholar

Why this pick

Its historical setting becomes a playground for identity games, exaggerated courtship, visual gags, and buoyant romantic farce—very close to the light, knowingly artificial spirit of Second Time Around.

A Chinese Tall Story poster 04

Movie / 2005 / Action / Science Fiction / Fantasy

A Chinese Tall Story

Why this pick

A lavishly stylised fantasy romance from Lau, mixing mythological spectacle, knowingly goofy humour, and sincere emotion beneath its extravagant costumes and effects.

Incredibly Ever After poster 05

Movie / 2011 / Action / Comedy / Romance

Incredibly Ever After

Why this pick

This affectionate superhero-wuxia comedy shares the pleasure of watching famous genre conventions turned into a playful relationship story, with colourful period design and an easy comic rhythm.
