Return of Shanghai Joe

Adalberto Albertini's silly comic sequel to the grim Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe (1973) reunites the characters from Mario Caiano's original, but jettisons nearly everything that made it interesting. This time, Kinski plays a sinister town boss who is brought down by Shanghai Joe (Lie) and a smooth-talking snake-oil salesman (Tommy Polgar). Unlike the brutal, bloody original, this film is played primarily for slapstick humor, and even the martial arts sequences are weak. (spaghetti-western.net)
