Troublesome Night 2

While the 1997 movie "Yam Yeung Lo" (aka "Troublesome Night") was no masterpiece, it most certainly was better than the 1997 sequel "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" (aka "Troublesome Night 2"). And as I sat down to watch this 1997 sequel from writers Kenneth Hau Wai Lau and Kwok Chi Tsang, I wasn't really expecting a whole lot, to be bluntly honest.

And the storyline in "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" was a step backwards, especially since the three stories were relatively devoid of comedy and laughs, so it was a somewhat tedious affair to sit through 96 minutes of this feature from director Herman Yau.

"Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" is listed as a horror comedy, but it is not really being overly successful in either of those two genres.

What is good about "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" is the cast list, which includes the likes of Louis Koo and Simon Lui, among other familiar faces here and there.

I am sure that fans of the franchise will enjoy "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau". But as a casual viewer, then "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" wasn't exactly a particularly great cinematic experience.

My rating of "Yam Yeung Lo 2: Ngo Joi Nei Joh Yau" lands on a three out of ten stars.
