Police Story 2, a more traditional, but nonetheless superb action comedy, opens with Jackie being demoted to traffic cop. Chu and his gang return eager to do battle along with a new threat in the guise of a gang of mad bombers. Faulting the film for not being as tightly plotted or as dazzlingly carried out as its predecessor is silly. Few films can match the excitement of the first 30 minutes of and Part 2, acknowledging full well that it’s a sequel, not a remake, wisely didn’t try. (1988) — Scott Marks
