Black Rose II (Cantonese: 黑玫瑰義結金蘭), also known as 97 Legendary La Rose Noire,[2] is a 1997 Hong Kong comedy film co-directed by Jeffrey Lau and Corey Yuen with action choreography by Yuen Tak. Lau wrote the screenplay under the pseudonym "Ann Gee". The film is a sequel to Lau's 1992 film 92 Legendary La Rose Noire[3][4][5] but features a new storyline and no returning cast members. All of the films are ultimately inspired by Chor Yuen's 1965 film Black Rose and its sequels.[6] Chor Yuen's wife Hung Nam, who played Chan Mei-Ling in the original 1960s Black Rose films, has a cameo in the film as one of Black Rose's disguises. Donnie Yen, who would go on to co-direct the next Black Rose film Protégé de la Rose Noire, has a small role as a boxing school owner.
