Definitely a step down comedically from the first film, if the fight pieces are more impressive. OPne would think that the addition of Bridgette Lin would make the film that much better, but the plot is so convoluted and the execution so ham-handed that her performance goes to waste. The story and focus of the film is vastly different from the first film, so much so that one could surmise that they had the script from another film and tried to plug in the ROYAL TRAMP characters into it...unsuccessfully. The film does remain somewhat watchable due to the well-choreographed action, but this time around it's just not as much fun. It's definitely the wrong direction when what started as a spoof turns into another retread of the films it pokes fun at.
