  Aces Go Places 2 (1983)
If the first Aces Go Places gave you hives, then you should probably stay away.
Inevitable sequel to the original Aces Go Places finds King Kong (Sam Hui) and Kodojak/Baldy/Albert (Karl Maka) in deep trouble when they get framed for multiple robberies.
Even worse, many of the jokes are language based, meaning you should prepare to be lost.

  The Illuminated Lantern - Asian Cinema Reviews: Aces Go Places V The Terracotta Hit
Aces Go Places V The Terracotta Hit is the last in a series of films which were in many ways a watershed in Hong Kong Cinema.
The Aces Go Places series established, once and for all, that chop-socky wasn't all the little island colony was capable of producing.
Aces Go Places V is a pretty solid film, and although Hong Kong audiences may have considered it the worst of the bunch, they did so because they were perhaps looking for a more hollywood-like style.

 Aces Go Places 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Kong placed his white kit on the ground, both Albert and King Kong took out their helmets and a remote control for operating the robot.
As the rival robot fired the first missile, King Kong did the same, and both missiles headed each other and exploded in mid-air.
The show ends with the police chief and the psychopath walked off marching, "Bee Bo Bee Bo Bee Bo...", imitating the sound of the police siren as Nancy, Albert and King Kong looks on.

However, the film is all about comedy and the film series was beginning to show signs of weakness, but the chemistry was still there and it was a fun movie to watch.

Now White Gloves must go to Hong Kong to find the diamonds and clear his name or the mob will kill him.
The "Aces Go Places" music video is well placed in the middle of the film sung by Sam Hui himself.
The movie spawned 5 sequels Aces Go Places 2, AGP 3: Our Man From Bond Street, ACE 4, ACE 5: The Terncotta Hit, and Aces Go Places 97, although ACE 97 is a sequel in name only, sort of what Halloween 3 is to that series.

 Aces Go Places
Aces Go Places was intentionally done with an international audience in mind, using a (relatively) large budget, western actors and crew, references to Hollywood movies and television shows, and a smattering of English dialogue (some of the Cantonese jokes were also tweaked somewhat to translate better).
The movie also has, in many ways, the feel of a old-time Hollywood serial, with cliffhangers or other twists occurring at the end of every reel (15 minutes).
If you've never seen a Hong Kong comedy before, Aces Go Places is an excellent place to start.

 Aces Go Places 2 review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Italian mafia are the main villains again; sending their top killer ‘Filthy Harry’, a Clint Eastwood double, to rid of the two ‘aces’.
There are some good action scenes such as a mad motorbike chase and a nightclub punch up (with choreography from Lau Kar Wing).
‘Aces Go Places 2’ is never meant to be taken seriously, is never dull and successfully entertains for the 90 minute running time.

 Aces Go Places 5
If I have to tell you this is part of the ‘Aces Go Places’ box set released by IVL, then you haven’t been reading my other reviews.
The movie passes the torch to some new ‘Aces’, Leslie Cheung and Nina Li (both of whom, by the way, are absent from the sixth part), and it’s a fitting transition.
The sixth part had none of the same cast or crew as any of the other movies in the series, so this can probably be considered the last real ‘Aces Go Places’ movie.

Popular Hong Kong action filmmaker Ringo Lam (City on Fire and Replicant) reputedly directed this third of four official sequels to 1982's Aces Go Places only as a favor to star Karl Maka, and it shows.
The crooks, led by Ronald Lacey in a send-up of his role in Raiders of the Lost Ark, are trying to get control of an experimental prism which they need for a machine which turns men into indestructible super-beings.
The official series ended with the next installment, 1989's Aces Go Places V: The Terracotta Hit, but was revived eight years later with a new cast in the subpar 97 Aces Go Places.
