| No need to change a winning concept but that's ok because the original Fight Back To School actually was a winner. This time Gordon Chan and company add synch sound to the hilarious, if slightly calmer antics of Stephen Chow, proving his masterful handling of the range concerning verbal dexterity and in my opinion the most hilarious of the act here, him in his odd surroundings trying to cope. Gordon Chan again knows to not interfere but the direction is as always solid, with a decent gunplay ending worthy of his talents. Perhaps not Chow's though. Reprising their roles are Sharla Cheung, Ng Man Tat, Gabriel Wong while Athena Chu, Deannie Yip, Michael Chow, James Wong, Spencer Lam and Blackie Ko are added to the mix. Since the plot revolves around foreign terrorists, some of the resident gwailo players such as Mark Houghton, Mark King and John Wakefield also appear. Paul Fonoroff however plays a head of the police force. |
