Old pals Rory Calhoun and Susan Tyrrell are along for the search for the killer of the cop who saved Molly's life in the first film, joined by street magician Johnny Glitter (Barry Pearl). More brutal and hard-edged than the original, this installment is just another violent action movie, despite some slick camerawork and a fast pace. One peculiar touch is the frequent use of Bronski Beat's savage dance hit "Why?" which, although it has appropriately exciting music, it concerns gay-bashing and has no relation whatsoever to the storyline. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Austin Kennedy, Film Geek Central
Should've been a fun cheesy movie, but every time it actually TRIES to be funny, it wasn't funny. The movie is uneven.

Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Was Donna Wilkes not available? Where have you gone, Betsy Russell?

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Typical exploitation stuff. The B-level camp charm of the original is absent here.
