God of Gamblers II (1990)
Reviewed by: MadMonkey on 1999-12-09
Pairing him up with Andy Lau and the "God of Guns" (Charles Heung) and dropping him into the sequel to GoG might have seemed like a mistake--but hell, I think it worked. Liked how a lot of the stuff in this one was sort of recursive with the first one (the Indian guy moving to the bottom of the hill and living in Andy's old house--with his dog!); thought the switcheroo on Cheung Man's character was stupid and unnecessary. The interplay between Lau and Chow was nifty, with both switching back and forth between comic/heroic roles easily, down to the final showdown. The coda (featuring an obvious clip from GoG one to provide a Chow Yun Fat "cameo") was stupid.

(3.5/5)
