I could have sworn that I reviewed this film here before...
Return to the 36 Chamber is the oddest concept for a sequel. Gordon plays a swindler impersonating the hero he played in the first film, San Te. His clan are cloth dyers, which makes for colorful pools for villains to plunge. Gordon first tries to fake out the Manchu gang by impersonating a monk, then winds up sneaking into Shaolin, only to be deceptively trained by the real San Te, then returns for vengeance. The final fight payout is spectacular. Gordon's rooftop Kung fu is brilliant and his battle with Wang Lung-Wei's bench-fighter gang is just magnificent.
Kara's role is minor. She's the cute dyer that tries to lure the gang into a trap early in the film and does no Kung fu. She has a great line though - Gordon tries to play off his lack of Kung fu by claiming it's only for 'universal peace', not revenge. She quips back "Huh! That's a stupid Kung fu!"
