the twins effect II (2004)

aka Blade Of Kings. Chin Kei Bin 2 - Fa Tou Tai Kam.
"I don't see any ghosts."
The mythical land of Huadu ruled over by the cruel empress (Ying Qu), who has usurped the throne and is executing the rightful dynasty. The last of this family is Charcoal Head (Jaycee Chan), but he knows nothing of his background, and is an itinerant actor, with his (Bo-lin Chen). When they are given what they think is a treasure map, they hook up with two female warriors (Gillian Chung & Charlene Choi).
This sequel ramps up the fantasy element whilst trying to keep up the comedy and action of the first film. It doesn't match the fun and frenzy of the original, but is still an entertaining adventure. Jackie Chan again pops up in (a this time) irrelevant cameo, overshadowing his son's debut performance.
