The Sequel That Kept the Franchise Flying

After the massive success of the first film, a sequel was inevitable. 最佳拍檔2：大顯神通 arrived in 1983, bringing back Samuel Hui, Karl Maka, and Sylvia Chang. This time, the director was Tsui Hark — a young filmmaker who would go on to become one of Hong Kong's most celebrated directors.

The film follows the same formula: King Kong and Baldy team up to stop a new criminal threat. This time, the villain has a mechanical robot that can destroy anything in its path.

The film also introduces a new character: a female agent who helps the duo. And there's a scene where King Kong disguises himself as a woman to infiltrate a party — a classic Hong Kong comedy trope.
