Trivia:
Nick Nolte appears heavier in the role than usual because when shooting started, he was still carrying the weight he gained for Q & A (1990). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Reggie and Jack are talking to a man in the backseat of a police car and then open the doors and get out. But rear doors on police cars can only be opened from the outside. moreQuotes:
Reggie Hammond: They blew up my car! They blew up my *car*!Jack: It's a damn shame.
Reggie Hammond: They blew up my car and all you have to say is it's a damn shame?
Jack: No car, no money, you're having a bad day!

I agree with most of the past commentators. This film is a half-sequel, half-remake. So many elements were simply copied from the original film. I'm sure the filmmakers considered this homage, but it comes off as a lack of ideas. And we won't even go into the monumental plot holes. Gigantic plot holes. Brobdingnagian plot holes. And while I hadn't previously noted the enormous amount of glass breaking, until reading the comments, yes, I'd have to say they made it more or less a motif of the film. Murphy and Nolte did reasonably well resurrecting their respective characters, and there were some truly funny moments, and truly snappy repartee. But it's not enough to save this one. If you liked the original film (and who didn't) you should probably see this one, just don't have high expectations for it.
