I wish I could sit here and give you a play by play of what went wrong in this film, but that would require a second viewing with some note taking and I don’t need to inflict that kind of damage on myself again. But here are a few of the things that still stand out in my mind.

Sean Patrick Flanery at one time had a promising career, WTF happened?


I don’t know, but if they had caked anymore make up on his face, he would have looked like POWDER again. Norman Reedus on the other hand has not aged a day and played the character just as well as he did in the first film, while Flanery seemed to flounder under the weight of the makeup. There were some fun moments in this flick with the brothers, but not enough to make up for the shitty writing for the rest of the film.

Julie Benz is hot. Really hot. Julie Benz had no business in this movie. It should have been Willam Defoe again or nobody. I understand her characters place in the film but Troy went way too far to make her a cross between a female Smecker and a high price hooker. What I mean to say is “What self respecting FBI agent is going to wear stiletto heels with her tits about to fall of her top half the time?”

Oh Clifton Collins Jr. you silly little man. I have enjoyed your work in several other films, but this is not one of them. Again I am going to blame the writing. You were given a rehash character that had little to no originality and you did your best. It’s just too bad the script was so bad that no matter what you did the character was still shit.

Billy Connolly is one of my favorites. Again the writing is what killed his character. I can’t say much more as his part was about a pubic hair bigger than it was in the first film.

Judd Nelson is not a bad actor but he was miscast in this film as an Italian mob boss. It was truly sad to watch the mighty John Bender become Douchey McDoucherson. Really, really sad. Someone put his career out of its misery, because the only parts he is getting after this might not even make it to the video store shelf.

Troy Duffy I have one question, WITHBHMF? (If you half to ask, just drop our brain in the nearest gutter and all will be made clear.)

I have serious doubts Troy has watched the original film since 1999. The lack of continuity within the story that tried to unfold in this film was pathetic at best and had me ready to shut the damn movie off several times. Unfortunately I did not follow my instincts and had to visit the doctor for one hell of an antibiotics shot to get rid of the massive case of gonorrhea of the eye I received from watching this movie.

I realize this piece is poorly written and that is on purpose. I figure if the guy that wrote the movie delivered such a piece of shit story, he doesn’t deserve my full efforts and frankly I actually waited 3 days to write this. If I hadn’t it would have been completely NSFW, just as this film is not suitable to be viewed by anyone, anytime, anywhere.
