Plot: Jake Busey steps into Rutger Hauer's cowboy boots to remind viewers about the dangers of picking up hitchhikers in this sequel to the 1986 thriller. Though suggested, it's unclear whether Busey's blac...( read more read more... )k-clad hitcher is actually supposed to be Hauer, who blackmailed teen driver Jim (C. Thomas Howell) for a series of killing 17 years earlier, but he makes life miserable all the same for the grown Jim (Howell again), now an trauma-plagued cop, and his girlfriend (Kari Wuhrer) as they drive through Texas (played here by Canada, and well photographed by George Mooradian). But where the original Hitcher was a taut exercise in suspense, executive producer Charles Meeker's script is simply a retread of its predecessor's highlights, including the infamous "drawn and quartered" scene, and gives the three leads little to do. Busey tries hard, but lacks Hauer's formidable presence, which may disappoint fans of the original; undemanding frightfest aficionados might enjoy this best. --Paul Gaita

    I thought that the Hitcher II was just about as good as the original. And, yes, I know that I'm in the minority. But it was very entertaining, and had some very suspenseful moments.

    It follows the first one but it sucks that the main dude dies in it, and it's not even the same Hitcher!

    A very pointless sequel that I had low expectations for. At least it met my expectations. Horrible, just horrible.

    Yeah...Busey is TOO scary as a hitcher. He's too freaky looking and insane. Didn't really like the movie, I tried, but it just wasn't working.

    The young man who survived the fist hitcher is now a police office who still bares the scars from the past.....He hits the highway with his girlfriend only to be confronted by the same scenario I did not want to see the second hitcher film for fear it would not stand up to its pilot. I was right.

    Not great, but if you're looking for comedic relief from the rentlessness, mind-boggling atmosphere of the original!
