The film is fairly good, but entirely different from its two predecessors. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin is a stunningly well made, quite serious film. Return to the 36th Chamber has a good deal more humor (which is for the most part accessible to non-HK audiences) and is not quite so satisfying, but it is still quite worthwhile. Large stretches of this film approach slapstick, and I would recommend it less enthusiastically than the first two films - but recommend it I would.
There are a couple of good scenes but I cannot recommend it. The sophomoric attempts at humour fall flat. The script is missing a few paragraphs and at least a couple of pages. Continuity? What continuity? IMO get The 36th Chamber or 18 Legendary Weapons. You won't regret it.
