Aces Go Places 2 ( Chinese: 最佳拍檔大顯神通) is a 1983 Hong Kong action- comedy film directed by Eric Tsang and starring Sam Hui, Karl Maka, Sylvia Chang. The film has also been dubbed into English and re-edited and was released overseas as Mad Mission II. The film is the second installment in the Aces Go Places film series.
In the film, a burglar and a police detective join forces to locate stolen diamonds.
A James Bond-type burglar King Kong ( Sam Hui) and his friend Albert "Baldy" Au ( Karl Maka), a bald police detective join forces to try to track down a rare set of stolen precious diamonds before it ends up in the hands of a notorious American mobster named "Black Gloves" (Filthy Harry in the dubbed version and during the English-speaking parts of the original film). The two unlikely duo are supervised by Baldy's wife, Supt. Nancy Ho ( Sylvia Chang), a masculine, fiery-tempered policewoman as they are chased by many mafia members throughout the film in crazy chase sequences involving a number of car and motorbike stunts.
Aces Go Places was released in Hong Kong on 5 February 1983. The film was released in the Philippines by Valiant Films as Aces Strike to Win on 7 December 1988. [3]
Variety described the film as a "well calculated commercial movie" and a "never a dull moment fun film for kids and adults with young minds attuned to things that are basic and elementary." [4] The review stated that Sam Hui "is beginning to be an adept comedian with good timing though he still mugs a lot." [4]
