Cmdr. Raines: Look, we're sending you back to 1991. Your ancestor will be 15 now!
Old McNulty: And that's supposed to make me feel better? Guys are going to try to get in my pants!

"This way I won't have to watch you die again"

Outstanding sequel. How often does a sequel re-capture the charm of it's original? You get to see all the first movie's characters again, and you get involved in their fate. If you've seen the first movie and liked the characters, you can see what became of them in this superb sequel. Tim Thomerson went on to star in the well done but failed tv show "Land's End", sort of a "Rockford Files" for senior citizens. If he's permanently gone from video now then I recommend Treat Williams or that guy from Stargate to play the next Jack Deth, but only if Thomerson's agent and Full Moon Video are too clueless to realize that his Deth character still has a faithful following all over the world.
