This movie doesn't hold a burnt-out, wet candle to it's predecessor. Ng Sin-Lin plays an illegal Chinese immigrant who has come to HK to earn enough money to bail out her dissident brother. And she is amazing! Knife her in the gut and she's on her feet in five minutes and cleaning and repairing your apartment; hit her with a car and two minutes later she'll reconcile you with your father; pistol-whip her a few times and - ahhh, you get the picture. Despite all this gumption, she keeps trying to accept her fate to be a prostitute. Aaron Kwok keeps rescuing her despite a complete lack of chemistry between them, though he's almost as indestructible. Aaron is in less than half the film, has only a handful of dialogue, and wanders through with a numb expression. Anthony Wong steals scenes as a biker villain, but his good performance isn't enough to save this boring movie.
