Personally I felt this one was worse than the original, which at least had, well, originality going for it. Here we get the lamebrained Chow finding himself bored and out of a job, to which end he goes undercover at a school once more. An interesting beginning with the new characters and scenario, and a funny DIE HARD situation making up the climax, but the mid section is long and aimless, made up of a tired romance scenario. Never has a Chow film felt more plotless...

The lack of plot shows
an unfunny Stephen Chow film!
I love Stephen Chow. I enjoyed the first Fight Back to School film.
This was just PAINFUL. I might have chuckled once or twice(instead of the usual roaring with laughter).
The action scenes were not interesting. The plot (bad subtitling didn't help) was pointless.
Overall a huge disappointment!
I'm not sure I can even bring myself to watch #3 now.
Why must I have 10 lines? I've said all I need to say succinctly. The minimum should just be more than 1 sentence that says "this rox" or something equally pointless.
Good, but not as good as the predecessor...
The 1991 movie "Fight Back to School" was pretty enjoyable and funny, so of course I needed no persuasion to sit down to watch the 1992 sequel "Fight Back to School 2" (aka "To hok wai lung 2").
And while "Fight Back to School 2" definitely was watchable, it just wasn't fully up to par with the previous movie. It just lacked the comedy elements that were abundant in the first movie. Now, I am not saying that "Fight Back to School 2" wasn't funny, because it was, but it just didn't have nearly enough funny contents to match the predecessor.
The storyline in "Fight Back to School 2" was a bit too tame as well, especially since it was so similar to the first movie. So there wasn't really much of anything new to be seen in this 1992 sequel.
But for fans of Stephen Chow, "Fight Back to School 2" is definitely an adequate movie, of that I am quite sure.
For me, this was a mediocre movie, and as such, I am rating "Fight Back to School 2" a five out of ten stars.
