This is, as mentioned, a direct continuation of the original Royal Tramp, at the end of which the fake empress (Cheung Man's) plot to overthrow the King was uncovered, and she reveals her identity as one of the highest members of the Dragon sect (played by Brigitte Lin). She then comes back to the sect and becomes its leader, and also vows to seek revenge on Wilson Bond (Stephen Chow) for thwarting her previous plans. But before she is able to do so, she is poisoned by her allies (a warlord and his son), and forced to mate with Chow, thus giving him most of her fighting powers. This is where the fun starts, as the sequel is a little heavier on the comedy than the original, although action scenes were still a joy to watch. My favorite comedic bit was where the same words of praise were used every time somebody wanted to suck up to anybody else ("My admiration to you is everflowing like the Yellow River," loosely translated). Chow is great, Natalis Chan and other co-stars were great, and fight scenes were good. The good thing about this movie is that it actually resolves the storylines of the film (as it should have, adapting from a book and all). Although this was a little wackier than it probably should have been, Royal Tramp II is still one of Chow's best. Rating = 8.5/10
