 I guess "logical" or not is the most important.

The bike chase is basically the same scene filmed at various angles. If you notice YeeKin and ChingWan ride past by the same Mercedes W124s and W126s for the entire scene when they are really suppose to be riding down the street.

Take a look at the Carlsbad Beer sign, too, for perspective, or lack thereof.

The only proposterous thing is this post. I don't see what's wrong with this scene. The thief is playing with him because he's confident he can't get caught. It sounds to me like the poster read the geek reviews first then jumped on the bandwagon before he even saw the movie.

This is a far better film then the incredibly over-rated first film. That movie was going on as if it were developing a great mystery when really there was nothing going on. That movie was so-so. This one delivered.

We've all got our own likes and dislikes. You liked this one, I liked the other one. This one just felt like a complete rehash of the first one.

And I watched the first one the year it came out, so don't give me this "geek bandwagon" nonsense.

[DaRunningMan]

This one did what was being claimed about the first one but never actually had. An actual cat and mouse chase that was both a physical and mental game. It's so much better than the first one it's not even funny.

And I wasn't talking about the bandwagon on the first one. I was talking about the second one. The fact you call this scene "preposterous" when nothing preposterous is going on is proof of that. The guy is playing with him and the thing is he almost gets caught. What's hard to get?

[benchilada]

Dude, I **love** this scene. But there's a running chase where the cop gets hit by a car and knocked down then gets up and runs again.

There's a bike chase that covers the same forty feet over and over again (watch the ads and signs).

They run from day into night (symbolism, yes, I know).

It's preposterous in a GOOD way. I didn't like the movie, I loved this scene.

Relax.

- Getting hit by a car doesn't always kill you. You can get up. If you find that hard to believe then Will Smith in Pursuit Of Happyness must be just as "preposterous".

- It's not a Hollywood film with unlimited budget. Filming on HK streets is a hassle. A small set was built and they had to make do.

- If it's the fall, then the chase could've started at late afternoon and run right into the night. Look at the shot before it fades into night. It looks like it's starting to get dark already.

[jdude05]

my favorite movie of all time! made no sense what so ever but was so much fun!

[benchilada]

I think the first is far superior, but hey...we all get our own opinions. :)

[benchilada]

The director is actually really good. I just don't know why he did this sequel to his first, fantastic film.
