Ben the walking stereotype is in New York selling little editions of Number Five.
There he meets one of Spinal Tap, and they go into business with Gibb to make more of the little Number fives. This all covers the sub-plot involving a jewel heist where some old boy called Oscar has hired two thugs to raid a bank.
The only problem is, the building where these criminals were working has been taken over by Ben. And then all of a sudden, Number Five arrives and causes all sorts of xenophobic hilarity.
Oh how I nearly smiled.....
This was rife during the late eighties and the early nineties, a film that wasn't expected to succeed as well as it did (sister act, Wayne's world, Beethoven), did do great business and garnered a sequel.
Some were okay, Bill and Ted delivered a good sequel, but this one fell into the category of great idea to begin with, but this is just scraping the barrel.
Stevens does what he can with the material, but there is none, it's just a case of Johnny five doing what he did in the first movie, copying things from the TV, radio, and commercials, to comic effect.
It was endearing the first time, but this just grates and annoys.
There the token scene near the end where we think Johnny Five may get killed, but hen he goes all gold plated at the end.
It's a dud movie, Sheedy can only be bothered to do a voice cameo, and it lacks any charm the original had.
