IMDb plot summary: A young martial artist is caught between respecting his pacifist father's wishes or stopping a group of disrespectful foreigners from stealing precious artifacts.
Directed by Chia-Liang Liu. Starring Jackie Chan, Ho-Sung Pank, Lung Ti, and Anita Mui.
The plot isn't really the point of this, any more than it was in the original. We're just here to watch some goofy antics and enjoy some great martial arts stunts, and while it's heavier on the former than the latter, we get a good amount of both. Like the original film, I had a good time with it but couldn't for the life of me tell you anything about it once it was over. Trying to remember the film to name the plot here was certainly a challenge, and I can really only recall one or two prominent sequences before the rest just mushes together into a vaguely enjoyable blur. Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of Chan or the genre, but not the best of either.

Final spot: #2558 out of 3406, or 25%. That is definitely a little low, but I barely remember it a week after watching it.
