Ah, it's been 2 weeks and I haven't posted it!
Police Story 2 (1988):
Picking up where we left off in the first film, Chan's character is demoted to a traffic cop and one day on duty, Chu Tao shows up in his car, where he was granted early release due to his failing health... and he plans to pester Chan for the last months he's alive. Chu Tao's henchman confronts May, Chan's g/f and roughs her and her aunt up. Chan goes to get revenge and then quits the police department, to go on a trip to Bali with May. On the plane though, there is a bomb threat and they get Chan off, while May flies to Bali... without her passport lol. When the bomb ends up exploding, Chan returns to the force to find out who is behind the bomb and put an end to it.
I know the first is beloved to death, but I *much* preferred this film to the first. True, it isn't as funny, nor is, "as much glass broken as the first," (which is an absolutely stupid and irrelevant con that I've seen on the 'net) but it also isn't as hokey and ridiculous (well, maybe a little bit lol) as the first and that makes for a better plot, IMO. Maggie Cheung is just as good (and cute!) as ever, while Chan is great at everything again. Overall, I enjoyed this film more than the first and can't wait to continue going through the series!
8/10
