Naked Killer 2 (1993)

The sequel has almost nothing in common with the original Naked Killer (1992) besides the name and a few actors. Both Chingmy Yau and Simon Yam return but neither of them portray the same character. I suspect either Wong Jing took another script he was working on and gave it a new title, or someone in marketing did, hoping we’d swallow it.
The trailer makes it appear something it's not.
If you can forget that you've been cheated and judge on its own merits you’ll find an average thriller with an uncomfortable plot that revolves around sexual violence.
