comedic soft-reboot of the original in the grand tradition of subversive sequels such as evil dead 2, gremlins 2, american ninja 2, tcm 2, and many others. i do not understand people who say this is a step down which is a feeling i'm sure is mutual as i'm the kind of sinner who prefers police story 2 over 1 for the same reasons: the highs may not be as high, but it's also gotten rid of the lows to provide a more balanced whole. read

Return to the 36th Chamber is pretty much a retelling of The 36th Chamber of Shaolin with comedy. The kung-fu is just as fun, but the story is pretty weak compared to the first one. The comedy is mostly to blame for this, as this particular brand of slapstick comedy is an acquired taste. This doesn't mean it's not entertaining, but I certainly enjoy the first one much more. The standout moment in this one is the final showdown, which is up there with the best of them. read moreWas this review helpful to you?
