Storyline

F/X man Rollie Tyler is now a toymaker. Mike, the ex-husband of his girlfriend Kim, is a cop. He asks Rollie to help catch a killer. The operation goes well until some unknown man kills both the killer and Mike. Mike's boss, Silak says it was the killer who killed Mike but Rollie knows it wasn't. Obviously, Silak is involved with Mike's death, so he calls on Leo McCarthy, the cop from the last movie, who is now a P.I., for help and they discover it's not just Silak they have to worry about.

Revealing mistakes: In the opening scene, the police arrive to confront the cyborg after he threw the bum through the window. One of the cops fires a warning shot and hits the cyborg in the head causing his blond wig to fall off and to bleed blue blood. When the cyborg raises his left hand to cover the head wound, it is obvious that it is somebody else's arm that is being used. See more »
