It Grows on You, But Better than the Original, c'mon Bradly!
This film is one that grows on you over time. At first viewing it seems sub par to the first, but then gets better with repeat viewing. Much like Beverly Hills Cop III. Maybe over time it gains a nostalgic factor? The last two reviewers are really F'ed in the head! They are both way off the mark. The film was shot in the Bay Area and sorrounding region. Much was filmed in the central valley of California, and the prison was the same one as in the first. The music is one of the best parts of the movie. I really like that steel drum sound. What I don't like is when they try to repeat things that were naturally funny or well recieved in the first film. It just seems forced and unamusing. Reggie did eventually recognize the Iceman, but it was difficult, because he only caught a glimpse of him once a long time ago, and was probably scared crapless when he did. A cop that is the head of a crime ring is the perfect cover, and he would keep going to work everyday to keep his cover, and use his position and knowledge as a police officer to be even more powerful and in control. <

>There are always things done in films that are unreal and exaggerated. I don't think we all believe there is an island out there with dinosaurs on it, do we? I mean Breaking glass at a prison visitation booth, really isn't that far fetched, or unbelievable, now is it? Maybe some of the scenes were filmed down in LA, but suppose to be San Francisco? I do know that a lot of it was filmed in the N. California area. Maybe all the liberal crybabies didn't want a violent film shot in their beautiful city? Maybe they just thought Frisco had become too gay to shoot in? Who knows and who cares, that's the least of the problems with the movie! <

>The first film was the perfect buddy flick, and had the perfect combination of humor and drama. Most would agree, so if you don't you're a minority, and most likely WRONG! Hell, they wouldn't even have made a sequal if the original wasn't so successful, because it was so well done! The first is a Classic, and the sequel is noteworthy, and gets better as time goes by. I would definately enjoy sitting down with a nice cool drink, an array of snackables and enjoying both in one sitting. And that's the name of that tune!

Stinky Sequel Sucks; Even Eddie Murphy has said he hated it!
If the first movie was day, this one is night. This movie was so full of holes and imcomplete plot twists I don't even know where to begin. So why not right here? <

>SPOILER ALERT <
>1)Why the hell would a cop turn out to be the head of an organized crime syndicate? Why even clock in every day, if your interests lie elsewhere? Somebody else asked why Eddie Murphy would not recognize Kehoe (or whatever his name was) as the Iceman? The answer is: you're right, it was a stupid loose end, and quite unbelievable. <

>2)Please just film a movie in the city it's supposed to be in. We all know it was in San Francisco the first go around. If its supposed to be in SF the 2nd go around, don't film in LA, or elsewhere, and pretend its SF. We LOCALS will know the difference, and more importantly, care. (The fake tourist cable cars on wheels was killing me!!!) And any good writer could have come up with a storyline in a different city. What a weird coincidence, Jack gets a tip that the "Iceman" has moved to LA, and guess who has been transferred down there to another prison? Anything, please! <

>3)You know that glass in prisons that separate the visitor from the prisoner when they talk on the phone? It can't be broken. Trust me, it can't. The part where the prisoner shatters the glass with his hands was hysterically inacurate. Why even have that in a movie? Stupid!!! Can you say "overkill?" <
> <
>4) Okay, so Jack and Reggie haven't seen each other in 8 years, or however long its supposed to be in the movie. Does that mean they're complete enemies immediately upon setting eyes upon each other? Why not have some conflict, which makes their dislike for each other more believable? Than when Jack throws the baskeball at Reggie's face, we won't think its completely asinine! <
> <
>5)To have Reggie sitting in his prison cell, singing the same exact song (Roxanne by the Police) with a walkman, is ludicrous! Come on, I'm sure the writers are clever enough to come up with something new!!! <
> <
>6)The musical sequences when the motorcyclists crash through the movie walls, and many other scenes, were exactly the same as the original. I heard this music about 50 times, that I've watched the original. I think they could have mixed up the musical scores a bit. I can understand using the same theme, but even Dirty Harry movies and Star Wars movies mix up the version of music they use in each new movie. <
> <
>7)Back storyline, about Murphy being pressured to get some money to an old friend's daughter was touching, but not very believable, and probably un-necessary. Didn't hold my interest. I'm sure the rest of the audience just ignored it too! <
> <
>There are many other truly bad things shown in this movie. I've just touched on a few. <
> <
>1 star for bad movie, and an extra star because Eddie did have some moments. Nick Nolte looked like he was having a "bad arrest" week. <
> <
>Two thumbs down! Way down!!! <
