Jackie Chan returns as a cop who goes undercover to stop terrorists who blow up a mall and ultimately kidnap Chan's fetching squeeze (Maggie Cheung) in a mostly diverting, albeit disjointed sequel. Police Story 2 actually has the same flaws that many American 80s action has, in that the movie is action focused and the story is merely threaded through a pretext that just goes through a relatively formulaic formula. The action sequences are of course awesome, definitely better than most of it's ilk, but upon rewatching the trilogy (New Police Story and Lockdown I hear are unrelated sequels) Police Story 2 ultimately is the weakest, lacking the jaw dropping action and humor of part 1, while lacking the focus and grit of Supercop. I'm not at all saying this isn't worth seeing, it's just that Police Story 2 while good, isn't quite up to Chan's best, in either the humor or fight arena. Still 80s Hong Kong Jackie Chan is still far better than most genre product of its time. Also the final showdown is a real classic
