ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
THE MAD MISSION TEAM IS BACK IN THEIR WILDEST CAPER EVER!

In this second MAD MISSION adventure, the unlikely partnership of master thief ‘King' Kong (Sam Hui), bumbling detective Kodyjack (Karl Maka) and Superintendent Ho (Sylvia Chang) are sent undercover to bust an underworld diamond deal. In between, the team must tangle with lethal transformer robots, evade American hit man Filthy Harry, avoid an escaped mental patient from the FBI (a hilarious performance by legendary action director Tsui Hark) and defuse some very sensitive time bombs strapped to their bodies. Mix in some of the most amazing chase scenes in the entire series, and you've got the maddest mission yet!

Known in Asia as ACES GO PLACES, the MAD MISSION films became an international phenomenon by combining broad humor, explosive action and truly spectacular stunts for one of the most popular crime-comedy series in Hong Kong cinema history.

Someone help me out here - this movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and nor does it try to. It's just one silly sit-com moment after another, strung together with some incredibly zany over-the-top action sequences. Master thief King Kong (charming Sam Hui) falls for a somewhat beautiful con artist who repeatedly sets him up for heists that she commits. His bumbling cop friend Baldy (Karl Maka) tries to help him out, much to the eternal irritance of his fiancée, police chief Sylvia Chang (she spends the entire film screaming at him). And to make things worse, Henry Kissinger (!) sends a Clint Eastwood look-alike named "Filthy Harry" (!!!) to Hong Kong to kill the two leads because "he doesn't like them". Okay, fine. THEN, we've got the final showdown between Hui and Harry which becomes a battle of toy Transformer-like robots, and super charged cars with rocket launchers and flame throwers! Whoa. Tsui Hark adds to the insanity as an asylum nut-case parading around as an FBI agent. Was there a point? No. But it did have several funny moments and some wonderfully dangerous stunt sequences.
