Agents Matthew Johnson and Melvin Johnson are on an undercover drug sting in Hong Kong. They end up in the middle of a shootout and taken prisoner by the lesbian Dragon Lady (Stella Stevens). She's a drug lord who runs a Macao casino. Fellow agent Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson) goes searching for her friends with local detective Mi Ling under supervision of her superior Stanley Nagel (Norman Fell).
Tamara Dobson has the height of a supermodel, and also the acting skills of one. In this sequel, the exotic Far East is the saving grace. The local extras really help the action scenes. It almost doesn't matter that the girls are not that good at action. They have a lot of good stunt guys willing to sell the hits. It's a little comical, but it's a vast improvement over the first movie. If the thugs are getting their heads cracked, the action is going to look good. Even as local background, it's great to see the local city flavors. I love 70's Hong Kong and its crowded street level scenes. There are car chases through the streets. What's not to love? I also love the two familiar American faces among the exoticness of all the Chinese actors although I wish Norman Fell had more to do. I'm not saying that this is a good movie. I'm saying that it's a good blaxploitation B-movie.
