Hong Kong cinema is certainly a fun genre and it was never more fun than during the so-called "golden age" of the 80s. During this period it seemed if you had a hit you were guaranteed at least two or three sequels. So does this sequel measure up?

Carol Cheng returns as the adorable and innocent by the book Communist. Instead of her going to Hong Kong it's a Hong Kong cop coming to see her. Coincidentally the cop happens to be the cousin of Tony Leung's character from the first scene as apparently he wasn't available.

Sadly this film tends to fall into the stereotypical stinky sequel model. While the jokes were fun the first time, now they seem stale and the whole bumpkins coming to the country can only be taken so far.

The first one is fun and this isn't the worst thing ever but unless you loved the first one, I can't recommend it.
