• It’s inferior to the 1985 original in almost every way but I do like that the talented up-and-comer Maggie Chueng has more to do here.
  • It is a little quieter on the film style, the zooms and jump cuts.
  • We start the film but basically a highlight reel of the first film and the music back getting us up to speed.
  • Mall explosion
  • Again- genre-blending—it is goofy, there’s flatulence in the elevator, squirt guns
  • The swards in the playground is an excellent scene- a great place for Chan to show off his hand to hand athleticism and choreography
  • It is clear that this film is brought to you by Mitsubishi Motors- distracting actually
  • The jumping from the truck to the double-decker van set piece — wow
The jumping from the truck to the double-decker van set piece — wow
  • The credits role and we have the stunt outtakes over the titles — showing off the sacrifice (blood galore)
  • Recommend but not in the top 10 of 1988
