Knockabout, period martial arts comedy adventure feel-good action buddy movie
24 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
More knockabout, period martial arts comedy adventure feel-good action buddy movie nonsense, then.

By order of the British Government, Wang's father is killed and, worse still, the Imperial Seal is stolen, an act that is witnessed by Wang's sister Lin, who heads off to London intent on revenge. Before she leaves, she sends a letter to her brother advising him of the wicked deed. Wang arrives in New York to claim the money still owed to him by Roy from the 1st movie, and together they set off for London to help Wang's sister and, perhaps, familiarise themselves with the ladies of Lahndon Tahn.

It's neither riotously funny nor dreadfully dreary, coming across as more of the same in every regard.

Jackie is watchable as ever, and even Wilson doesn't annoy too much and, for all its silliness, some of the action sequences are actually half decent.

If you liked the first one, you will certainly enjoy this too. Just hope to all the Christ's they don't make a third.
