On the run from the police, Poon must stop a terrorist organization from destroying Hong Kong while piecing together his identity.

Directed by Herman Yau (SHOCK WAVE, IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT) and written by Herman Yau, Erica Li, and Eric Lee, the film stars Andy Lau, Sean Lau, Tse Kwan-Ho, and Ni Ni. Filming was shot on location in Kowloon, Hong Kong and Kam Tin, Hong Kong. SHOCK WAVE 2 is produced by Li Jie, Esther Koo, Alvin Lam, Daniel Lam, Siu-Ming Lam, Andy Lau, Qicheng Li, Yisheng Yang, and Cai Zhijian.
Deadline Hollywood called the film, “a sense of spectacle and drama. Each bomb disposal scene comes with its own inventive twist, either shocking or darkly humorous enough to make you exclaim out loud.” The New Paper’s review said of the lead actor, “the ageless Lau turns in a multi-layered performance enhanced with such physical demands that he truly deserves the title of Asia’s Tom Cruise.”
