China O'Brien 2 1990 Directed by Robert Clouse
This time China O'Brien has trouble with a dealer who puts a prize on her head because she had spoiled an important drug deal of his. But all the world's criminals will not be enough to catch up with China O'Brian, one of the masters of the martial arts.
Fell asleep at the end, pretty good, would watch ten more of these, China O'Brien 4 eva.
Ротрок, Нортон и однорукий мотоциклист вернулись на сиквел, а в противниках у них теперь сбежавший из тюрьмы наркоторговец , похожий на Чарли Мэнсона. Им снова удалось побить немало народу: реднеков, негров в камуфляже, азиата с перчатками-когтями а ля Фредди, и даже Индиану Джонса, но к сожалению сюжет по сравнению с первой частью какой-то уж совсем незамысловатый: ни тебе выборов, ни мести за близких, а банальные поиски денег. Хоть экшен на ускорении по-прежнему смешной.
Despite being lukewarm on the first China O'Brien adventure, I guess I was interested to see what other shenanigans she would get into with Matt and Dakota.
The second outing really slogs along compared to the first, despite the fact they seem to have been made back-to-back. Luckily, the third act is really good. It's almost nonstop action and there's a bunch of random, weird crap thrown in that I wish had been in the first one. Like a dude with a crazy Freddy glove, and a guy with a whip dressed like Indiana Jones. It's already a dumb movie so it should have embraced nonsense a lot earlier.
And I didn't notice it in the first one, but there…
Shot back-to-back by Robert Clouse with the first China O'Brien and released by Golden Harvest the same year, this sequel appropriately tastes like leftovers. Sheriff China (Cynthia Rothrock), her tall n' stiff Aussie beau (Richard Norton) and their one-handed, leather-jacketed "Indian" pal (Keith Cooke) are all back, but not until after the lengthy intro sets up the meager plot. The husband (Frank Magner) of a woman we're told (but never shown) is China's friend is in witness protection, having squealed on his former gang, but what the wife doesn't know is he kept the money they'd stolen. Now, the boss (Harlow Marks, who I at first mistook for Don Swayze) busts out of jail and proceeds to waste everyone who…

A biiiit goofier than the first but still. I love China O'Brien. Shes my HERO
This carries things on in the good-natured knockabout way of the original and doesn't lose much in the way of quality. Set 2 years later (although filmed almost back-to-back), China (Cynthia Rothrock) has settled into her position as Beaver Creek sheriff and Matt (Richard Norton) and Dakota (Keith Cooke) are now her deputies. Crime is down and everything seems perfectly lovely until some people start getting shot and China uncovers a massive smuggling/blackmail operation right under her nose...
Much like the original, the plot takes its cues from classic Westerns, presenting kind of a "circle the wagons" yarn as the town rallies around China to defeat the bad guys but, honestly, this part is probably the weakest (Baskin - the…

Durchschnittlicher B-Klopper mit Genregrössen wie Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton und Keith Cooke. Früher mochte ich diese Videotheken-Heuler wirklich gerne, heute sind viele Filme nur noch unfreiwillig komisch und für heutige Bedürfnisse eher mässig choreographiert. Gleichwohl besitzen diese Filme auch heute noch einen gewissen Charme, daher werden solche Streifen wohl auch in Zukunft in meinem Player rotieren.

It might even be more enjoyable than the first since it doesn't stop for 30 minutes for China to run an election campaign. It's to the point, a bit more brutal and still has some sweet fight choreography that's missing in a lot of the shitter action video releases of this era.
It's both better and worse than the first film. The story is clearer and makes way more sense than the first film. It lacks the emotional kick of the first film. Rothrock is barely the protagonist in this film. She's just the sheriff in a town when mercenaries attack. The action scenes aren't as good and there is less fighting. It was still enjoyable, and obviously Miss Rothrock is completely awesome but it just ain't a very satisfying film. I don't care bought no Frank.

Girato back to back col capitolo precedente, gli si piazza un gradino sotto. La quantità di azione/botte è minore, viene inserita una sorta di trama poliziesca con qualche pausa di troppo, per una scelta che non si rivela indovinatissima. Resta un film divertente, gli scontri comunque non mancano. Il trio Rothrock/Norton/Cooke (quest’ultimo con una mano sola, dopo essersi rotto l’altra prima delle riprese) ha il suo bel da fare, specie nel finale scoppiettante con decine di nemici da sbaragliare - tra cui Billy Blanks e Toshishiro Obata.
