Mike
(A. Michael Baldwin) and Reggie (Reggie
Bannister) are still on the search in
order to destroy the Tall Man (Angus
Scrimm) but suddenly Mike discovers that
his dead brother Jody (Bill Thornbury) is
inside one of the Tall Man's steel killer
balls as he helps them along the way to
protect the two of them even if he is
under tha Tall Man's power now.
Unfortunately, the Tall Man found Mike
and has him under his spell too along
with Jody and has his sights on
indoctrinating Mike and finishing the
fight begun so many years ago.
Reggie then travels with his vehicle to
look for Mike and rescue him from the
Tall Man's evil clutches. Along the way
he is kidnapped by a group of thugs but
then is rescued by a brilliant orphan
named Tim (Kevin Connors) who has
invented a number of deadly weapons to
protect himself as his parents were
murdered by the Tall Man himself.
They also rescue a black female warrior
named Rocky (Gloria Lynne Henry) who's
family and whole friends have
disappeared.
All three tries to find missing clues on
Mike as well as his dead brother Jody and
what the Tall Man's purpose of being on
Earth.
What an
improvement! I loved this sequel so much
better. Everything in this film is well
action paced as well as funny too.
There's lots of neat special effects used
in this one, probably more than in the
first two.
Not only that, the story explains what
those killer stell balls are controlled
by.
Lots of great scenery and action fighting
too. Sit back, watch it and enjoy!!!!
The acting is well
done for this second sequel to the
series. Reggie Bannister is
great as usual and humorous (Like in the
first film) too which is a treat too
(Good work Regman).
It's nice to see A. Michael Baldwin returning
as Mike like he played in the first film
in which he should've played in the first
sequel as it wasn't the same without him.
Bill Thornbury is back YESSSS as the
older sibling Jody (Forget part 2). He
looked great in his role and knew how to
deliver his part even better.
Young child actor Kevin Connors
does well with his role as the brilliant
child warrior Tim as he delivers his role
really well for someone so young.
I loved Gloria Lynne Henry as
the tough woman warrior Rocky which you
couldn't find anyone better to play the
role.
Of course Angus Scrimm still
knew how to portray the creepy and
menacing Tall Man.
Reggie is dreaming
about fornicating with Gloria Lynne
Henry as Rocky and she is definetely
topless exposing her full breasts.
A blonde's face is
burned.
A steel ball crawls out of one of the
Tall Man's people's head.
An axe is stabbed in the head of a female
criminal and a thugs throat is cut open
by a deadly frisbee with spikes.
The Tall Man cuts open the top of a
corses head and takes out the brain.
A head is spun off a zombie of one of the
thugs.
A steel ball cuts through a zombie
version of Edna's face.
Don Coscarelli
does great with his directing. He shows a
good flashback sequence and then
concluding with Reggie Bannister
dragging A. Michael Baldwin away
as well as slaughtering the killer dwarfs
too with his weapons.
There's another great moment in a
hospital with Angus Scrimm
appearing in a doorway with a giant light
reflecting on him shouting
"BOOOY!" like in the first film
along with other creepy takes on him.
There's also great adventureous directing
on Baldwin lying on the hospital
bed and bit part actress Irene Roseen
as a demon nurse trying to kill him and
then Bannister trying to save
the day by using weapons on her. Roseen
does well shaking on the ground with a
good effects on a steel ball coming out
of her head and then circling around Baldwin
and Bannister with their
startled expressions.
We have a good dialogue once again
between Bannister and Baldwin
like in the first film as Bannister does
well trying to convince him that his
brother is dead.
We have a perfect moment with Baldwin
finally encountering Bill Thornbury as
his brother and telling him not to touch
him. Next we have a nice effects shot on
a steel ball circling around Baldwin
and Bannister with the two of
them looking nervous along with a good
shot on the steel ball turning to rust
and falling with a good close up shot on Scrimm
staring coldly and speaking towards these
two actors.
There's a good shot on supporting actress
Cindy Ambuehl leaning down to
her car to get something with
Bannister approaching from behind
her and then she toys around with a gun
while he tries to take it away from her
and she does a great job acting
flirtatious and then a perfect angle shot
on Brooks Gardner approaching
behind him and hitting him with a bat.
We have a good battling scene with child
actor Kevin Connors throwing
deadly weapons towards the supporting
actors like Ambuehl and Gardner
with all kinds of good angle shots.
We spot a great camera shot on a steel
ball moving in for the kill and a good
camera shot rolling in on bit part
actress Sarah Scott Davis and
attacking her head.
We have a good goofy dialogue between Bannister
and Gloria Lynne Henry in a
hotel room as well as some good lustful
shots between the two of them together
which looked truly comedic.
We have a perfect setting after the
comedic lustful scene with Bannister towards
Thornbury in a hallucination scene
of a desert.
There's a great shot on Scrimm
looking over Baldwin with a
bunch of steel balls floating on a wall
above him.
There's also a great shot on Scrimm staring
coldly with a red laser light above his
head.
There's perfect battling scene's that
involves Bannister, Henry
and Connors against Ambuehl,
Gardner and Brooks Gardner
resurrected as zombie's which very much
reminds me of the direction used in
Night of the Demons 2.
Coscerelli was great at coaching
Baldwin
during his last scene of the film
when he is turning into one of the Tall
Man's people as he looks incredibly eerie
with his shaky words towards Bannister
when he walks past him.
The music is
terrifically composed by Fred Myrow
and Christopher L. Stone have
improved with their scoring in this film
as they add alot of neat touches to it.
There's great low violin and horn playing
with some of the odd chanting sounds too
for the suspenseful moments involving the
Tall Man and the steel ball attacks. The
music indeed sounds very mainstream.
Reg:
Jody, what the hell are you doing here?
You're dead.
Jody: So what else is new?
The
Tall Man: It's time now, boy.
Rufus:
Do you think we're playing games kid?
This is for real.
Tim: So is this.
Reggie:
Thanks kid, I owe you one.
Tim: Two. By my count you owe me
two.
Reggie:
Dominate me, baby!
Reggie:
Ever try vanilla?
Tim:
Shit! What the hell are those?
Reggie:
Cryogenics. All the mortuaries are into
it now. These guys figure they'll wake up
in a couple of hundred years with new
bodies.
Rocky:
Some folks never know when to give it up.
Reggie:
[laughs] Now, look who's talkin.
Reggie:
Sure fucked up my hallway.
Tim:
You're in trouble. You're in trouble.
Reggie:
I sure hope that ball got a better sense
of direction than mine do.
Rocky:
It's been nice knowing you boys, but this
kickin' zombie ass just ain't my gig.
Reggie: Get out of
here. It's all over.
The Tall Man: It's never over.
