After the unbelievably sweet original I was pretty rearin' to go to see this one. Unfortunately it didn't really mimic the original in anyway besides....the Chinese Torture. Instead it went for a more serious tone which kinda left me feeling neutral about the film the entire way through. The first one had all types of creativity and actually had some good laughs, but this one focused more on adult issues like loyalty and adultery. If you haven't seen the first, you should be absolutely fine with how this plays out. It's only after a couple days seeing the sequel am I now in that state. I was really hoping for more naked flying sex people, and people jumping out of their skin. One thing the sequel did do better than the first, because of it's new found tone, is handle sex scenes better. There are some real hot and heavy sex scenes in this one. I can easily say I enjoyed the first more, but this one delivered the goods in certain areas. Don't hesitate to check this film out if you're looking for some Chinese Torture Story action.
