    Storyline

    Edit
    After a lethal American attack robot, RS1, is unleashed onto the mean streets of Hong Kong, Asia's funkiest crime-fighting team, the Gen-Y Cops, find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Their latest member, Edison, is accused of stealing RS1, and forced to go on the run. Gen-Y cops Match and Alien must find him before maverick FBI agent Ian Curtis does. Another member of the FBI unit, Jane (Maggie Q), becomes convinced of Edison's innocence. They discover that the real villain of the piece is Edison's old friend, Kurt, the warped genius who created RS1, and now follows his own deadly agenda... —Anonymous

    • Trivia
      Jackie Chan had no involvement with the sequel. His name was used in the American title as an attempt to attract a western audience.
    • Quotes

      Ian: Roseanne Barr Arnold will be President of the United States before you two punks see the light of day.

    • Alternate versions
      The American version cut mostly dialogue, taking out Match's involvement with an Internet company. Match's name is different, from Match Fung to Match Yeung. Some of the Chinese dialogue is wrongly translated or not translated at all.

    Terrible...
    I somehow managed to make it all the way through this movie, but was dumbfounded by the complete lack of entertainment delivered. My friends and I are fans of HK film, but WOW. This movie has it all, and by all I mean everything a movie shouldn't have. Underdeveloped and stereotyped characters, way over-the-top overacting, cheesy special effects, talking robots, no less than 20 double-foot jumpkicks, impossible situations, unfunny "gags" and "jokes", elementary school premise, mindless killings, and too-long running time for the material. Throw in the fact that Gen-X Cops was a decent film and this movie becomes even harder to bear. Quite simply, if you're entertaining the idea of watching this film...don't.
