This film takes place immediately after Project A, with Dragon (Jackie Chan) being promoted to take over an entire precinct of police. Unfortunately, they are completely corrupt and before he knows it, he has been framed for the theft of a diamond pendant by the man he replaced, Inspector Chun (David Lam), the pickpocket (Carina Lau) who slipped him the jewels is kidnapped, and there's also a subplot about a group of revolutionaries trying to drum up sympathy for their compatriots on the mainland. Plus, the pirates are still after him in revenge for killing their leader. This one is a much more serious affair than the first film but still manages to incorporate a lot of silliness. The stunts and chase sequences are full-out insanity, which is only to be expected from a Jackie Chan feature. Personally, I liked this one better than its predecessor. It seemed more polished and with more of an eye for plot and character development instead of just a series of loosely connected gags.
