Cheap cash-in on a previously hot movie. Not as guilty as "My Wife Is A Gangster", but still a case for a lot of fingerpointing. This can all be traced back to lazy scriptwriting. You know it's going to be bad when a major plot device involves a lotto ticket to solve the monk's problems. And the winning numbers were based on the monk's, Buddha's and Jesus' birthdays combined. There are some bright spots, such as the competitions between the gangsters and monks that are a holdover from the previous film. Some of them are entertaining, such as the karaoke duel, but most just don't reach the same heights as before. The absolute worst is when you think back to where you could have stopped it to not ruin the memory of the previous movie. There is no place to bookmark it. Pretty much every scene is just bad. |
