Uninspired Nonsense, 21 August 2011
Author: crossbow0106 from United States

Beethoven and Chau are back, but this time the story makes no sense at all. They play two bumbling cops like before, but since this is the second film, any charm of the characters is already spent, so you get a somewhat fast paced movie about the switching of money stretched out into a movie short 88 minutes but still lasting too long. The females, like the first film, are mainly wasted in this film as actresses and the silliness is amplified, but not the inventiveness. Basically, if you liked the first Pom Pom you may want to see this, but don't expect much at all. Not horrible, just not at all worthy of your time unless you want to see their further adventures.

Moderately amusing comedy, but a waste of Kara Hui, 9 September 2008

Author: gridoon2012

Richard Ng and John Sham play two bumbling Hong Kong policemen who nevertheless get their job done, in their own unorthodox ways. When their former superior officer has some money and court evidence he was responsible for stolen from him, our cops decide to help him find out who did it. Things get complicated when Sham falls for the daughter of their prime suspect, a stuntwoman (Kara Hui).

I have to admit right away that I have never seen another "Pom Pom" film so far (apparently, there are quite a few of them). My main reason for checking this one out was the presence of Kara Hui. Sadly, her undeniable action skills are wasted in this film. She does look absolutely LOVELY, but her role could have been filled by many other lovely Hong Kong actresses (there's certainly no shortage of them!). Unlike the "Lucky Stars" films (in which both leads participated), "Return Of Pom Pom" is almost exclusively a comedy and has next to no action. If you can live with that, and with the relative waste of Kara Hui, the comedy is moderately amusing, and there are even some laugh-out-loud parts. (**1/2)
