It's a sequel in that it's the Asian Hawk (Condor) character once more, but it's a new adventure, not a continuation of the previous film. This time Jackie kindly helps out a street vendor and ends up hunting for a hoard of decades-old (stolen) World War II Nazi gold in the Sahara Desert, during which he gets into plenty of awkward situations. He's pursued by various baddies, giving rise to action scenes that are superb, with jaw-dropping stunt work (the guy with the brush in the factory – holy shit!), but there's more daft comedy, too. The japes aren't something that I personally enjoy, and I feel they weaken the whole, to be frank, but they're clearly performed with the best of intentions by the cast.
