aka: God of Gamblers Returns
Chow returns to the table to gamble some more. It’s a hell of a lot more tense than part one, especially in the finale. The remainder of the film sticks to the same comedy mixed with gun-play formula as before and even manages to balance the two halves much more effectively.
Note: This is the fourth God Gamblers film but is the real sequel to the original. The second and third films, God of Gamblers II (1991) and God of Gamblers III: Back to Shanghai (1991), while also directed by Wong Jing, were focussed on a different character.
