In some territories, this film was marketed as the sequel to Iron Monkey, but it has nothing to do with the 1977 film, so those expecting anything monkey-related might be disappointed. However, they might also be pleasantly surprised to discover an enjoyable crime caper in which Chen Kuan-tai plays a policeman investigating a sinister attempt on the Emperor’s life. He may be a top cop, he’s no Sherlock Holmes; his detective work consisting mostly of pestering everybody in the film with the knife used by the culprit, before beating them up.
