Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Excellent but underrated film
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It's those trash movies that are enjoyable and pleasant to watch,all elements is here,the casting is second step,the plot is the same of the previous one,the bad guys are weird and crazy,mix up and you have this amazing trash movie from the eighties... in fact this sequel is a blaxploitation,leading a gang Mario Van Pleebles as X is priceless acting,another interesting character is Frankie Faison as Be Gee a Negro too on a stunning performance and finally Robert Ginty a lonely guy who get revenge against the the evil ones...a little inferior than The Exterminator but still good,l love this kind of trash movies!!
(58%) Wow, the "pro" critic over at Juicy Cerebellum did a great job with "Every single one of these sucked". What all two of them? Jackass. Anyone familiar with 80's and 90's urban based beat-em-up video games (Streets of rage, Double dragon, Vendetta) will notice a connection with the representation of street gangs and a city in turmoil. This is a more fun, less gritty, action based affair with "Evil Peebles" facing the rough end of Ginty's flame thrower as he quite literary takes out the trash. Any fans of the original, or Cannon's brand of 80's R-rated action should check this out. And what a poster! They don't make'em like that any more.
like any sequel this one goes way over the top lets look at other examples "the Punisher"(2004) serious and well paced now lets look and the second punisher movie "Punisher: war zone" outrageous, insane, campy, more violent then the first, fast, and well etc (and yes i know they are both different plots but it was still very over the top) . and need i have to say with "Mad Max" and its over the top sequel "Road Warrior". Now exterminator 2 is no dark knight or some Oscar winning movie that people always seem to expect, it is a very entertaining movie. the exterminator is one of the most underrated anti- heroes ever created and its a shame to. this movie never came out on DVD and the only possible way to see it is on VHS. its is way different from the first exterminator its more upbeat, campy, and it has a video game feeling to it which gets help from its soundtrack which sounds something out of a genesis game. but that doesn't mean the movie isn't dark, it is high on violence and unlike the first one john eastwood aka the exterminator is more humanized. in the movie he is given a girlfriend and he runs into one of his other Nam buddies but when all seems well a gang comes along to destroy this little happy story and its up to him to stop them. and let me tell u this even thou the director never went to film school or did other movie work beside producing the first film he did a good enough job making this feature. now i'm not saying this movie is for everyone but i do say this if you like the first one then this one is a fair sequel, i don't think it should have a frickin 2.5 out of 10 this movie is great and i hope it gets release on DVD soon bc hell if slaughter high or even don't go in the woods get released on DVD then this one should too.
Robert Ginty returns as John Eastland, the ex-Vietnam veteran turned vigilante hero from the first film in this inferior sequel.This time around he comes to odds with a street gang led by Mario Van Peebles appearing here as a character named simply 'X' who makes Eastland's life that bit more miserable when he and his gang decide on a hostile take over of the city.In addition, they further manage to antagonise our hero by firstly kneecapping his girlfriend and then a bit later on murdering her in her apartment! Understandably mightily vexed by this decidedly anti sociable behaviour, our man decides to take drastic action and sets about wiping the villainous buggers out! This time around he is aided by a buddy and his dumper truck although as a word of advice; don't get too attached to his pal ..It has to be said that the film isn't a patch on its forerunner with generally toned down violence, almost comically clichéd villains and some truly awful and distracting music throughout.The action scenes to, whilst more elaborate here, are still nowhere near as engaging as in the previous film.Still, having said the above, our hero certainly looks more striking here having taken to wearing a welders mask and now utilising a flame thrower as his weapon of choice. In fact the image of this faceless, merciless killer is indeed very memorable in the same way that the white mask wearing Michael Myers is to the Halloween films, the Hockey mask wearing Jason Vorhees is to the Friday The 13th movies or the icon of the green and red jumper and the knife fingered glove of Freddy Kruegar is to the Nightmare On Elm Street films.Overall, as it stands, the movie is mildly enjoyable with a number of fairly exciting scenes involving Eastland torching the bad guys to cinders, however, as a sequel to such a great original it falls rather flat.As a final note though COOL Break dancing!
