| Literally an unscripted sequel and again a box-office smash, the formula for this series proved to work again as most key personnel returned, including producer Jackie Chan. No one would blame you for thinking you've accidentally started watching the first The Inspectors Wears Skirts again though as director Wellson Chin goes through all the same routines, focusing much on the largely grating acts of Sandra Ng and Billy Lau for starters. Furthermore, there's another dance showdown, more training, limp romance and Chin does the right commercial thing by centering a whole lot of jokes around Amy Yip's enhanced assets. Amusing at times just because it is so silly and childish, this is just a series of skits with tacked on action scenarios so that Jackie can do something. It's a step down in scale from the first film but the reprise of the gymnasium ring fight and the finale offers up painful stunts to a decent degree. |
