Like many Jackie Chan vehicles, is just as enjoyable even if seen in a non-English version. With a few exceptions, the plot simply serves to space out stunt and action scenes that are among the best--and funniest--Chan has ever done.As survivors of the pirate band vow revenge on Sergeant Dragon Mao (Jackie Chan). Back in Hong Kong, officials seek to reduce the power of corrupt Police Superintendent Chun (David Lam) by giving command of one of his districts to Dragon. Finding his new police force riddled with corruption, Dragon sends a message by arresting a criminal leader who has been spreading large sums in bribe money.Determined to regain his territory, Chun hires a group of revolutionaries to discredit Dragon. At a party held by the British governor of Hong Kong, a valuable necklace is stolen and planted on Dragon. When he attempts to apprehend the thief, he himself is arrested. Instead of taking him to jail, Chun's men bind Dragon and throw him into the water. He is rescued by the revolutionaries, who regret having helped frame an honest policeman. The pirates also have a change of heart toward Dragon after he helps them buy medicine for their ailing leader.Spies from mainland China use Chun to infiltrate the revolutionary gang. They lure the revolutionaries and Dragon to a meat processing plant, where they try to kill Dragon and seize a book containing the names of every member of the revolutionary party. But Dragon escapes and, after a frantic series of chases, arrests Chun and the spies.But in every other way, this is a superior sequel. Working with a budget that was ten times that of the standard Hong Kong film, Chan took every chance to push himself to the limit. The detailed sets, which recreate late 19th century Hong Kong in exquisite detail, have been used in numerous films since. As if anyone cares about the sets in a Jackie Chan movie...so go for this movie
