"God of Gamblers II" (zh-tcy|t=賭俠|cy="Dou Hap", literally "Knight of Gamblers") is a 1991 Hong Kong comedy film written and directed by Wong Jing. It stars Andy Lau as Little Knife, Stephen Chow as the Saint of Gamblers, and Ng Man-Tat as Blackie Tat. This movie is a sequel to both "God of Gamblers", which included Lau's character, and to "All for the Winner", which starred Chow and Ng. This film should not be confused with "God of Gamblers Returns", also released as "God of Gamblers 2", and in essence the true sequel to the original "God of Gamblers".

ummary

In this movie, down on his luck, Chow Sing-Cho (Stephen Chow), seeks out the God of Gamblers, in hopes of becoming his disciple. Unfortunately, the God of Gamblers is unreachable and out of the country, last heard to be in Brazil, and the Knight of Gamblers (Andy Lau) replaces the God of Gamblers. When a phony attempts to impersonate the Knight of Gamblers in a huge scam, it's up to the real Knight and Saint of Gamblers to team up and defeat their formidable challenger. The film combines intricate action sequences with sharp comedic timing.

Title

*Even though the international English title is "God of Gamblers II", this is not the direct sequel to the 1989 movie starring Chow Yun-Fat. The movie title literally translates to "The Knight of Gamblers".
*Although the title indicates Andy Lau's character, Stephen Chow received top billing for the movie.

ignificance of the film

Wong Jing was so impressed with "All for the Winner" that he contacted Stephen Chow to star in two sequels made during 1991. This combo went on to make several money making films turning Stephen Chow into an Asian Comedy star and helping boost Jing Wong's status as one of the top film makers in Hong Kong.

This movie is followed by "", which does not have Andy Lau, but features legendary actress Gong Li in two roles.
