and that's the problem with it... it tried too hard to be so "gleefully un-PC" that it sacrifices much of the fun of the first movie... and I know, "but the first one was offensive too"... but that actually points to another problem with the movie in that it pretty much repeats many of the "outrageous" set pieces from the first movie, complete with reintroducing (and even absurdly resurrecting) some characters and extending "crazy" bits from the first flick (hey, did you like seeing Statham and Amy Smart "do it" in Chinatown? Well, you'll love this one, they "do it" at a horse track and make the scene LONGER, with more crazy positions and Asian porn-esque blurring of private parts!)...
And normally, I'd roll my eyes at people who say shit like, "Bai Ling should be ashamed of herself," but, well, Bai Ling should be ashamed of herself (and how in the world does she have a career?)
All that said, there was some funny stuff (the bit with the dog collar was great, and I did enjoy about the first minute of Statham and Smart getting down at the race track)... and Clifton Collins Jr. should have appeared earlier in the movie... it looked like he and the others were having an undeniably good time... but I dunno, this one just didn't work for me like the last one did...
Oh, and also, I'm going to give myself credit for pretty much predicting how this one would begin back in Post 13... ________________________________________________________________________ He is stupid But he KNOWS that he is stupid And that almost makes him smart Let's listen
