God of Gamblers part II, 14 January 2005

Author: Miyagis_Sweaty_wifebeater (sirjosephu@aol.com) from Sacramento, CA

God of Gamblers, part 2 (1991) was a combination sequel for All For the Winner and the God of Gamblers. Andy Lau reprises his role as Little Knife and Stephen Chow plays the Saint of Gamblers and Ng Man Tat returns as Blackie Tat. The Saint of Gamblers is still searching for the God of Gamblers and wants to follow him in his foot steps. G.O.G. is in permanent retirement and Little Knife has been appointed his temporary heir. The God of Guns is there to keep him safe from a new foe The King of Gamblers along with his disciple the Devil of Gamblers. Can Little Knife defend the God of Gamblers honor by himself or will he need the help of the Saint of Gamblers?

A very strange and funny sequel to both films. Jing Wong was so impressed with All For the Winner that he contacted Stephen Chow to star in two sequels made during 1991. This combo went on to make several money making films turning Stephen Chow into an Asian Comedy star and helping boost Jing Wong's status as one of the top film makers in Hong Kong. When these two worked together, they created some of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

If you enjoy the work of Stephen Chow or Jing Wong then I advise you to go out and get this movie. You'll laugh yourself silly. It's highly entertaining and a whole lot of funny. I guarantee it!

Followed by God of Gamblers: Back to Shanghai featuring Li Gong in two different roles, more Li Gong for your buck!

The sequel to Chow yun Fats "God of Gamblers" & Stephen Chows "All for the Winners", 4 February 2004
Author: Ivan (wittyfuk) from England

This is in a way the sequel to Chow Yun Fats "God of Gamblers" and Stephen Chows "All for the Winners" as it takes the history from both films to make this. Firstly... Chow yun fat is not in this film though there are clips of him taken from other movies as a joke. This film show The Knight of Gamblers (Andy Lau) life after the film "God of Gamblers", he is one of the best gamblers in the world and his master has sent him out to the public to do charity work. Meanwhile it shows Stephen Chows characters life after "All for the Winners" where he uses his mind powers to help him gamble. It comes to Chow that he should seek to be a disciple of the God of Gamblers, and goes to see if the Knight of Gamblers could help him in this mission. Shortly afterwards another gambler (named Devil of Gamblers) seeking revenge tries to assasinate the Knight of Gamblers and adopt his title for his own benefits. To clear his name the Knight of Gamblers (Lau) and the newly titled Saint of Gamblers (Chow) seek thier way pass many obstacles to give the Devil of Gamblers a match.

This film his hilarious and is even more hilarious if you have seen "God of Gamblers" and "All for the Winners". The places that are visited and the people who appear in this film are from its prequels. It is an added bonus when they keep referring to Chow yun fats character and the clips they place in this film which no doubtly are taken from his other films.

I would say this is a brilliant Stephen Chow film, and its great how Andy Lau performs his character in a way where it stay true to the original character but all the while seems to be making fun of it.

Excellent film.... i would give it 8/10!
