I cannot really compare this movie to the original, because I am not sure I saw the whole original, let alone remember it. This is THE testosterone movie without much else. The previews spoil the whole plot. So, what is left is mostly action, some women in skimpy outfits, and the dumbest jokes. If you stick around towards the end of the movie you watch the heroines washing a car and some outtakes. The action is quite good with some martial arts, a quick tempo, and a good share of explosions. I would suggest ?XXX? as a better movie if you need an adrenaline high with slightly more plot. This is movie is just some escapism and that is perhaps all a person needs sometimes.
