Chow Sing Chi returns as Sing in this sequel to his 1991 hit.  His performance in the line of duty should have earned him a promotion but his cockiness in front of his superior results in a demotion to traffic duty.  It doesn't help matters when his old partner (Ng Man Tat) ends up as a higher ranking officer despite his obvious yellow streak.  The laughing stock of the police force, Sing discovers an undercover operation within a school involving terrorists and decides to enlist the help of his old school chums to help him solve the case.   Back in the classroom, Sing once again demonstrates his talents at wreaking havoc in the playground and annoying the hell out of the teachers.

Although lacking the originality of the first film, 'Fight Back to School 2' still manages to recapture some of that old magic.  This time around, the emphasis is mainly on the comic elements as it was evident that this was the source of Chow's success.  The main problems really lie in the plot as it was always going to be hard to make a second film without repeating yourself or moving completely away from the subject material.  That said though, they still manage to forge ahead with a valiant attempt at recreating more crazy classroom anecdotes and luckily, the star power and some amusing set-pieces manage to stop it from becoming just another re-hash of the first movie.

Although it was never going to live up to the standards set by its predecessor, 'Fight Back To School 2' is still a brave attempt that contains some classic moments of hilarity.  It's better than most but nowhere near the top of the pile.
