ACES GO PLACES II (1983)



  This is the 2nd film in the ACES GO PLACES series from Hong Kong and the one I've seen the most. It's a total action/comedy mash-up with crazy stunts and car crashes galore. There's a robot vs. kung fu(plus a robot vs. an army of mini-robots) scene, lots of slapstick, bicycle stunts, dumb jokes, a character that's supposed to be Clint Eastwood called Filthy Harry, and lots of weirdness. Director Tsui Hark has a recurring role as an insane person. If you enjoy stupid Hong Kong hijinks that you could actually watch with a little kid, if you have to, give it a look.  AKA MAD MISSION 2

ACES GO PLACES series:

1. MAD MISSION (1982)

2. ACES GO PLACES II (1983) AKA MAD MISSION 2

3. ACES GO PLACES III: OUR MAN ON BOND STREET (1984) Tsui Hark directs this one after just appearing in the first 2 films AKA MAD MISSION 3

4. MAD MISSION 4: YOU NEVER DIE TWICE (1986) Ringo Lam directs AKA ACES GO PLACES IV

5. MAD MISSION V: THE TERRACOTTA HIT (1989) AKA ACES GO PLACES V

There was a Sammo Hung movie called LUCKY STARS GO PLACES in 1986 but that's part of another series and a 6th movie in 1997(which seems more like a remake since it has a completely different cast) called 97 ACES GO PLACES
