Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The popular series was already beginning to turn smug and self-indulgent by 1983, when the first sequel was released. The visually inventive action comedy of the bracing original (which for some reason is not currently available on video) was replaced with a lot of mugging slapstick, as affianced cops Baldy (Karl Mak) and Inspector Ho (the glorious Sylvia Chang) are repeatedly waylaid by criminal activity on their way to the altar. Meanwhile, master thief King Kong (played by pop star Sam Hui, brother of Michael) has been framed for a series of robberies, and a Caucasian hit man named Filthy Harry keeps trying to bump everybody off. It's not what you'd call a tightly plotted picture, but director Eric Tsang designs sequences that are thrilling on a purely graphic level--like the squads of identical motorbikes and Jaguars that execute choreographed pirouettes during the chase sequences. Beanpole genius movie director Tsui Hark (Once Upon a Time in China) has a brief supporting role. --David Chute

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, bad description, February 21, 2006

By	Xuan Hoang (ca, usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I totally love htis movie. It's hilarious and action packed that you won't be bored for a single second. Be sure to check out the 1st and 4th instalment of the series. Third one really sux.

Watch out if you want an subtitled version. Even though the description says so, this is an DUBBED one WITHOUT SUBTITLES. Boo for amazon this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly funny an innovative bond/mission impossible spoof, September 12, 2002

By	"planetraider" (abu dhabi, abu dhabi United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews

I have been trying to get a copy of this movie for at least 15 years now and the fact that it is now coming out on DVD is why I love this format . The movie is a funny spoof of spy movies with amazing action and truly one of a kind gadgets . The series also has a famous villian in every installment , in this one it is the clint eastwood character from the good ,the bad ,the ugly (or at least a lookalike) . This movie is for kids and adults alike and especially for fans of spys and gadgets . I won't be buying it but only because I am buying the whole collection .

3.0 out of 5 stars So stupid, it's memorable!, April 26, 2001

This review is from: Zuijia paidang daxian shentong [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I never saw the original, but this sequel is extremely fun. The campy acting and shinanigans just add to the laughs! The plot's pretty weak and very unbelievable, but Hui as King Kong is charismatic and pretty humorous. The two robot battle scenes are my favorites. The car and motorbike chase sequences are very well coregraphed. Not sure it's worth buying -- but definitely something to rent for a lot of laughs!
