Well, after watching this again tonight I still kind of feel the same way I felt when I first saw this years ago, that it's not as good as the first. Not to say it's bad though.

Some interesting plot twists occur in this sequel (well, hardly a sequel as both films were filmed at the same time and given a 2 month hold period), making it more interesting to a certain extent than the original. However, Stephen Chow is still using the same jokes as he did in the first part, which is consitant I suppose...but when it comes to this film it's not funny anymore.

Still, if you have seen the first part, then you have to see the second really to get most of the story figured out if you don't already know it. Because afterall, this is a direct continuation of the first film, and not a sequel as such.

Worth seeing, but only to finish the story, as there are few new features to keep you interested. Except for one quite funny joke near the end, and also Ching Siu Tung's smoother looking fights.

By the way, the TV series of this is very good (though there are about 30+ episodes!), and should still be around on a VCD box collection if you look in the right place.

Rating: 3/5
