  • A rare sequel which can be consider equal or some might say better than the first one.. much more funnier and close to culture the jokes were still funny to this say 30 years of it was first release

    Right from the camp to the karaoke scene everything was in a very fast pace till towards the end where it was quite rush to finish it.. not that funny towards the end. The casting were good.. the gambling scene was on point too... it really could stand the rest it time..

    Finally the Hong Kong classic is still memorable to this day .. Director and actor Alfred Cheung really outshine us with this classic goodie.

    Chinese Inspector Cheng (Carol Cheng) returns to her beloved homeland and enjoys the trappings of her moderate fame. Her trip to Hong Kong has left its mark though and the once fiercely anti-capitalist Inspector now finds herself warming to her westernised neighbours. Meanwhile, the cousin (Waise Lee) of her Hong Kong partner Wu visits China with his uncle (Lam Kau, returning in his role from the original) and brings his westernised ways with him. When he witnesses a murder in the hotel that he's staying in, the Hong Kong cop now comes under the scrutiny of the Chinese law enforcers. Inevitably, this solitary witness is teamed up with Inspector Cheng in an attempt to find out the identities of the killers and their motives for the crime. Alongside this odd couple is Cheng's unusual cousin Hsiao and policeman Niu. Together the investigators uncover an underworld plot that puts them all in danger and requires their individual skills to succeed.

    Due to the successful first film, this sequel followed hot on its heels, and is rather similar to the first one. A feeling of deja-vu is felt, and though it has some good comic lines, it can get tedious with its farce. The pace seems to stall at times, however, Carol Cheng, as always, is superb as the rather and naive inspector who comes across like a country bumpkin. She is what makes this film watchable. The karaoke scene was quite funny.

    HER FATAL WAYS 2 is the quickly-shot follow-up to the first film, which proved a hit on release back in 1990. Almost the entire cast return with the exception of Tony Leung, who has moved on to pastures new to be replaced by the willing and able Waise Lee. The plot is slightly different and more complex this time around, with Carol Do Do Cheng and chums investigating a conspiracy of gun smuggling which runs from China to Hong Kong, but the humour is much the same as in the first movie. And it's very funny. Alfred Cheung's psychic powers are particularly amusing here in the gambling scene and the John Woo-inspired climax, while the supporting character of Tiger, a martial arts expert, is also a hoot. There's nothing not to like in a film which is every bit as well-made as the first.
  • This is a Hong Kong action comedy sequel, a fast-paced and well-acted movie about mainland Chinese police inspector Cheng Shih-Nan (Carol 'Do Do' Cheng) returning to Hong Kong to do battle with another round of drug dealers, this time partnering up with Hong Kong Police Detective Wu-Hsiung (Waise Lee), cousin of Wu Wei-Kuo (Tony Ka Fai Leung) from the previous movie.

    It was entertaining seeing both Nan and Hsiung's methods of operations as they also clash with each other as their Mainland Communist and Hong Kong Capitalist credentials come in full force. But, their relationship was a little more awkward and funny as Nan as a little crush on Hsiung while he already has a girlfriend.

    Alfred Cheung returns to plays sidekick Hsiao-Sheng, whom I thought gave a rather hilarious performance, but his superpowers scenes like make bullets fly on its own were a bit too make-believe for this movie. Kau Lam returns as the no-nonsense Nationalist patriot Wu Tien-Tzu, who pops up randomly here and there throughout the movie, and Michael Chow, the villain from the previous movie, appears as another sidekick to Nan.

    It's a movie full of action and humor. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, especially the parts where Nan falls down the stairs and where her legs shake after going multiple flights of stairs. Another must see!

    Grade A-
  • This is a very funny comedy. The karaoke scene got me laughing so hard! I have to say the first one is funnier overall, but this one makes me laugh harder when it does make me laugh.
