Casino Raiders II

1991 · 91 min

A gritty, melodramatic crime saga that keeps you tense with brutal betrayals and high-stakes gambling, though its emotional beats can feel heavy-handed.

Overview
Chicken Feet assists in running an honorable gambling den owned by the crippled Uncle Fan and his son Kit. Having previously tried to shut down the gambling den and take over by paralyzing Fan and framing Kit for another man's murder, ruthless local Triad boss, James goes a step further by murdering Fan. Driven only by money and the pursuit of two valuable 'Jade stones', James kidnaps Kit's daughter so he will surrender gambling in order for James to win the upcoming Championship.
