Carol Cheng returns as Mainland Inspector Cheng Shih Nan, who once again leaves the Mainland with her cousin Hsiou Sheng (Alfred Cheung, doing double duty as director and co-star) to tackle a Hong Kong-related murder. They get help from their Hong Kong brethren, including Waise Lee as the brother of Wu Kei Kuo (Tony Leung Ka Fai's character from the original), and the race is on to find the bad guys! But there are still many mysterious portions of Hong Kong's capitalist culture for Shih Nan to explore, including the wonder of karaoke! Like the first film, Her Fatal Ways II is an intelligent comedy that eschews pratfalls and mugging for verbal humour and sly commentary on Hong Kong-Mainland China relations pre-1997. A climactic shootout and the dependable comedy brilliance of Carol "Dodo" Cheng doesn't hurt, either!
