Finally watched this the other night. Sorry pix but there is not a whole lot there. I swear, that guy in the opening crime scene is just turning up the steam so that the good guys can't make out his killer's face for the next 30 min or so. Incredibly conventional and it still doesn't always make sense. There's the occasional neat idea but overall, this needed a lot more MacGyverisms.
The first one is really high on my guilty pleasures list. This sequel was entirely forgottable - I say that based on the fact that I've completely forgot everything about it.
Oops, yeah, if I accidentally championed the sequel, I screwed up. Forgettable is the right word. It's kind of a typical 80s sequel, if I remember correctly — like, say,
Beverly Hills Cop 2 — an empty shell of the first movie, but still kind of fun despite being so slight. I'm with ferris on the original, though — definitely a guilty pleasure. I like the general concept a lot and love Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy together — especially Brown. Maybe it helps to watch
'Breaker' Morant first?
