Movie Trailer - Kungfu Panda 2
Long ago, Gongmen City in China were ruled by the peacock clan. Heir of the peacock clan, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman) were told by the court's goat soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh) that a warrior of black and white would one day defeat him. When he heard that, he assumed that she was referring to the giant pandas. Fearing that the prophecy would come true, he decided to exterminate all the pandas in the city. Lord Shen's parents were shock by his action and exiled Lord Shen. He swore that he would come back for revenge.
One day, at Gongmen City, Lord Shen came back with the power of fireworks as a weapon. He plotted to rule the entire country with the power of his fireworks. Master Thundering Rhino (Victor Garber) tried to stop him but Lord Shen had his cannon aiming at him and fired a shot at him, killing him instantly.
After defeating Tai Lung (in Part 1), Po (Jack Black) enjoyed his life and the fame he gained as the Dragon Warrior. He was happily protecting the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five until he was told by Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) that he had yet to achieve inner peace.
One day, a pack of wolf bandits came to the valley to steal refined metal for Lord Shen. Po and the Furious Five came to fight off the pack of wolf bandits. However, Po was distracted by a symbol on the head wolf's (Danny McBride) armor, which caused Po to have a flashback of his mother and allowed the wolves to escape. Po who fel disturbed, confronted his goose father, Mr. Ping (James Hong) to ask about his origins but all Ping could tell him was that he found Po as a baby panda in a radish basket and he decided to adopt him.
Master Shifu received the news that Master Thundering Rhino, leader of the kung fu council protecting Gongmen City, were killed by Lord Shen with his newly developed weapon, a cannon. Lord Shen intended to destroy kung fu and conquer China. Po and the Furious Five were sent to stop him. When they reached Gongmen City, the whole city was under the control of Lord Shen's forces. They got into the prison and found two imprisoned council members, Masters Storming Ox (Dennis Haysbert) and Croc (Jean-Claude Van Damme). They asked for the help of the two masters to free the city but both masters who witnessed the death of Master Thundering Rhino refused to help them. They claimed that the weapon were too powerful to be defeated. Po and the Furious Five were then discovered by the wolf leader. Soon, they were all captured by Lord Shen's men.
While they were meeting Shen in his tower, Po and the Furious Five freed themselves and destroyed Shen's cannon. However, Po was again distracted by a flashback he Shen's plumage. Lord Shen managed to escape and he destroyed the tower with his weapon, hoping to kill Po and the Furious Five as well but they managed to free themselves from the burning tower.
Later that day, Tigress (Angelina Jolie) confronted Po over his distraction. Po told her that he remembered Shen was there on the night he was separated from his parents. He wanted to ask Shen about his past. Tigress tried to comfort him and stopped him from going to confront Lord Shen.
Despite of Tigree's advice, Po went to Lord Shen's cannon factory to confront Lord Shen. The Furious Five went to save him. Lord Shen said that Po's parents abandoned him before he blasted Po out of the factory with a cannon and he captured the Furious Five. Po was rescued by the goat soothsayer. She helped Po remembered his past. Guided by the Soothsayer to embrace his past, Po remembered that his parents sacrificed themselves to save him from Lord Shen's forces. His father fought Lord Shen's men bravely while his mother took him and run to the forest. When she knew that Lord Shen were approaching, she hid him in a basket before distracting Lord Shen's men to chase after her. Upon realizing the tragedy he had gone through but still he lived a happy and fulfilling life, Po attained inner peace.
Po returned to Gongmen City to save the Furious Five who was captured by Lord Shen and also to prevent Lord Shen from conquering China. A battle began. Po and the Furious Five fought bravely. Master Storming Ox and Master Croc also participated in the fight after being persuaded by Master Shifu. Po used his inner peace to control a kung fu skill that was able to redirect Shen's cannon ball. He deflected the cannon ball to Lord Shen's armada and destroyed it.
Po then advised Lord Shen to let go of his vengeful past but Lord Shen refused and attacked Po. Lord Shen accidentally slashed the ropes that was holding his last cannon. The cannon fell and crushed him to death. Once again, Po save the day. Po returned to the Valley of Peace and reunited with Mr. Ping.
At the post credit scene, Po's biological father (Fred Tatasciore) was shown living in a far-off hidden village inhabited by surviving pandas, and he sensed that his son was still alive.
