To hok wai lung 2

Fight Back to School 2 (1992) deals with Stephen Chow's undercover cop role of Star Chow. Whenever he's incurs the wraith of his superiors, he's given a lousy under cover assignment. A gang of Anglo-centric gangsters are threatening several schools in the Hong Kong area. Star Chow has to go back to the school he attended in the first film and snoop around looking for clues about the bomb. Time is running out because the terrorists bombs could be any where. Can Star Chow once again save the day? Another funny film from Stephen Chow that defies explanation.

Cheung Man returns as Star Chow's love interest so does Ng Man Tat and Gabriel Wong (reprising his role from the first film). Deannie Yip co-stars as Star's superior officer along with Athena Chu, Blackie Ko, James Wong and Michael Chow.

Highly recommended.

The 1991 movie "Fight Back to School" was pretty enjoyable and funny, so of course I needed no persuasion to sit down to watch the 1992 sequel "Fight Back to School 2" (aka "To hok wai lung 2").

And while "Fight Back to School 2" definitely was watchable, it just wasn't fully up to par with the previous movie. It just lacked the comedy elements that were abundant in the first movie. Now, I am not saying that "Fight Back to School 2" wasn't funny, because it was, but it just didn't have nearly enough funny contents to match the predecessor.

The storyline in "Fight Back to School 2" was a bit too tame as well, especially since it was so similar to the first movie. So there wasn't really much of anything new to be seen in this 1992 sequel.

But for fans of Stephen Chow, "Fight Back to School 2" is definitely an adequate movie, of that I am quite sure.

For me, this was a mediocre movie, and as such, I am rating "Fight Back to School 2" a five out of ten stars.

Fight Back To School was a fantastic film, a bit rough around the edges storytelling wise but it was an all around amazing film full of action and laughs, it was a film destined to get a sequel- the premise is fresh for it! So did the sequel do good? Sort of.

Fight Back to School 2 follows the same protagonist as last time, Starry Chow who after a demotion in his work goes to infiltrate a school by force to show his superiors that he still got it. This time there's a terrorist threat on an international school in Hong Kong.

First the positives, somehow Stephen Chow doubles down on his already aggressive character and to see him stretch that out even more in the sequel is hilarious, the returning actors all do a pretty great job and they're all playing to their strengths. The movie is competently shot although I wish there were less shots of the school overall, wish there would've been some other cool locations! Also for what it is this movie kind of delivers in a good way! It also has some very hilarious moments.

And now for some of my problems with this movie... once again, but this time it's even more apparent they don't focus the plot on the actual threat that's going on (the investigation and the terrorist attack) which makes it all seem kind of haphazardly executed- a way to keep on adding intrigue to the film would be if they constantly found out clues and stuff in the school (they do but it's always close to the final) which makes it a bit unsatisfactory when for the big showdown the terrorists arrive at the school with basically nothing moving forward the plot before. It's kind of shocking how much they spent on the romance subplot when it basically didn't lead to anything, which is sad. I wish this movie would've taken those opportunities to try and raise the stakes and add a bit more intrigue.

With all being said I still enjoyed this movie, with my criticism above it might sound as if I didn't like it but it's quite the opposite, even for its shortcomings Fight Back to School 2 manages to bring an entertaining time with wacky moments. It might not be as sharp or memorable as the first one but it's still a fun watch nevertheless.

This movie is a brilliant mixture of action and slapstick comedy. Only the comedic talent of Stephen Chow and Man Tat Ng could make a film this funny and hilarious. The scene where Man Tat Ng dressed as the Terminator, made me laugh my head off when I first saw it. If you need a laugh, this is the movie to watch.

Filled with hilarious scenes , this wonderful cop comedy features the lovely chemistry between Chow and Ng Man Tat, and the great Cheung Man returns as Chow's girlfriend. This is one of the rare instances of a sequel being better than the original IMHO as this one is filled with funny gags, lines of dialogue and has solid action sequences to boot. Very highly recommended.

10 out of 10!
