      Once again, it’s an unadulterated pleasure to watch Chan and his stunt team at work, jumping, contorting and throwing the human form around in ways that simply don’t seem possible.

      Slant Magazine

      Though ostensibly sub-Hitchcockian wrong-man mysteries, with a liberal serving of cop-drama clichés rounding out the narrative framework, the films are better enjoyed as purely cinematic catalogues of set pieces and sight gags, spectacles of breathless physical excess.

      This sequel may be a bit thin on plot, but who cares when Jackie Chan is at his daredevil best?

      If the choreography behind these intricate set-pieces is dauntingly complex, the satisfactions they produce could hardly be simpler.

      Austin Chronicle

      While neither as outlandish as its sequel, Police Story III: Supercop, nor as emotionally turbo-charged as the series opener, this second Ka-Kui adventure rests comfortably in-between the others, overflowing with Chan's patented stuntwork and comic high jinks, and as such, it's a fine introduction to the Jackie Chan phenomenon.

      Opens with a montage of thrilling clips from its predecessor, then hits all the same notes, harder and duller.

      Usually the fight sequences are great but the movie itself is poor.
