Stephen Chieu plays Bond, a lovable, handsome con-man and titular member of the Heaven and Earth Society who, with members of his clan, tries to overthrow Manchu power and restore full authority to the Ching Dynasty -- though in the process he gets involved with the saucy Dowager Empress (despite the protestations of his female guards, lovely identical twins who are promised to him should he finish his project successfully). Little does he know that the Empress has actually been captured and impersonated by a powerful look-alike who, in Royal Tramp 2, metamorphoses into Brigitte Lin! There has to be something right about a movie with a line like: 'Shit! Brian is invincible. He knows how to shrink his penis.'

(3/4)
