User Reviews

This is an ace movie!

Waaaay better than the first....we are given one of the most hilariously stereotypical black characters in film history in the form of 'Leroy Brown' ("when word gets around, that Leroy Brown, has got something going down..."), the most unconvincing street punks/toughs I have *ever* seen (I mean, c'mon, they're listening to BILLY IDOL for God's sake!) and some South American drug dealers who trail off into tales of chasing snakes into cane fields for seemingly no reason whatsoever. There's two parts to the film - the first sees our hero storming the drug dealers mansion and rescuing his old lady, the second takes the rather dubious 'action' to the Outback, where we once again get to see classic Australian stereotype 'Dong' drinking and fighting and....uhh....being Australian.

Classic!
