RETURN OF THE CRAZY BUMPKINS is a Shaw Brothers comedy sequel about one of the most annoying comedy characters I've ever seen from Hong Kong cinema. After a lengthy recap of the first film, our hero gets out of prison and attempts to hook back up with his old friends and allies, but soon finds complexity in store. The format of this is the classic fish-out-of-water setup with our oafish hero getting into all kinds of scrapes that typically see him taking a thrashing at the hands of the bad guys. It's all very lowbrow and ridiculous, and the over-mannered performances just didn't do it for me.
