Inevitably, a sequal had to come. Fortunatly, Chan kept hold of all the reins, to make that rarest of things in the film world. A sequal than can hold it's own against the original. This time Chan has 2 sets of foes to contend with, the original lot are still pestering him, but they are secondary really, to the new, and main ones. More great action and stunt sequences, and a great fight with Benny Tai (a guy from his stuntteam). There also a nod to the battleing babes sub-genre, with 3 hard kicking policewomen. Not content with with twatting himself and his stuntcrew up, he manages to crack Cheungs skull too, pay attention to the last 10 minutes, you never see her face as she couldn't finish the movie (it's actually Crystal Kwok, who has a small part in the film anyway).
Superb film, and a great and worthy sequal. Watch back to back with part 1 for a great double-feature viewing.

Just watched both of these back to back and both were great. The 2nd one just shaves it for me
