Review: This movie sees Jackie Chan back as Dragon Ma who has now been promoted to shadow a police chief to fight against corruption and crime in his town. He hasn't got his handy sidekicks that he had in the first movie but he brings along some other agents to help him fight against crime. The Pirates are now seeking revenge after Dragon Ma (Jackie Chan) crippled there business in the first movie and he has to fight against corruption in the police force. After building a relationship with the head of the coast guards in the first movie, he helps him in a few tricky situations involving gangsters and then Pirates so it's full of action from beginning to end. Personally, I got confused with who was who and what was what. As usual, the death defying stunts are great and the authentic Kung Fu scenes were well put together but it seemed like it was never going to end. Jackie Chans character is slightly more serious in this movie, which is a plus in my opinion but there is way too much going on. It starts off quite simple but once all the different characters come into the movie, I was completely lost. It also seemed quite dated for this day and age, which is good in a way because you don't get all of the string action but it is still worth a watch just for the amazing Kung Fu. Watchable!
Round-Up: I'm going to try my best to collect all of the Jackie Chan movies and I'm looking forward to see his earlier work but so far, it's not a good start. I can't fault his amazing action scenes and detailed stunts but I'm not impressed with the story lines. I'm hoping that the next movie that I get will show Jackie Chan on top form.
I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/crime movies about a coast guard who has been promoted to take down a crime boss on dry land. 4/10
