Gam chi yuk yip 2: Directed by Peter Ho-Sun Chan. With Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Anita Yuen, Jordan Chan. Sam and Wing get together after falling in love, only to be followed by other love related complications.

“A fun sequel to u0026quot;Heu0026#39;s a Woman, Sheu0026#39;s a Manu0026quot; that focuses more on the sex-comedy aspects and less on the Canto-pop music industry. The movie begins right where the first one left off, and shows the fallacies of fairy-tale endings.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs with many sequels, it should really be watched with the first one. But to its credit, this is a must-watch if you enjoyed the first, and is in many ways superior to its predecessor.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLeslie Cheung gives a wonderful performance, as his character goes through more complex emotions than in the first movie. He looks absolutely bereft and heartbroken in some scenes, and manages to elevate the movie from being just a pleasant retread of the first. And he makes you believe that the ending in this movie is hard-won and worthwhile, and not a result of caprice and self-indulgence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnita Mui is a welcome addition as the woman who stirs everyoneu0026#39;s feelings. Sheu0026#39;s made to look remarkably similar to Anita Yuen in some scenes, and the chemistry between the two Anitau0026#39;s is uncanny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnita Yuen is fine: somewhat less endearing since sheu0026#39;s no longer a wide-eyed guttersnipe as in the first. But amazingly effective as both genders, since she pulls off a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe title is very appropriate: u0026quot;Whou0026#39;s the Woman, Whou0026#39;s the Man?u0026quot; and really pushes the limits of all the bizarre sexual entanglement possibilities. Demonstrates the no-holds barred wackiness possible in foreign movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTeresa Lee plays a cute and cheerful lesbian who only seems to wear bathing suits and rollerblades. (Chinese Rollergirl?) Fish (Jordan Chan), while just a sidekick in the first movie, gets to enjoy a romance in this one. Eric Tsang returns as the wise old gay man u0026quot;Auntie,u0026quot; who is privy to the hearts of both sexes.”
