Parents guide

Trivia
The movie, like the first film, was entirely shot in Europe. This sequel was filmed in five European countries which were Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom.

Goofs
When Bryce is using his binoculars in Florence his watch shows the time approaching 4pm, yet when the camera switches to the villains on the ground the other Triple A bodyguard's watch shows 11:45.

Quotes
Sonia Kincaid: I would make a great mother, don't you think?
Michael Bryce: Oh my God, a child would be so lucky to have you as its host.
Sonia Kincaid: Thank you. It must be your powerful asexuality that makes you such a good listener.

Crazy credits
There is one mid credit scene that takes place and a final placeholder "dedicated to..." card during the final moments.

Alternate versions
As was the case with their release of Rambo: Last Blood (2019), Lionsgate cut this film down from its original running time to have more screenings in the US. Other territories like Australia, Europe and Asia have the uncut 117 minute version which was screened theatrically.

Connections
Featured in The 93rd Oscars (2021)

5/10

Great cast sinking in a woefully poor story 💩

The original film was great. Loved it. Original. Funny and watchable. Not Oscar winning but a great watch.

This film carries on with the fun characters and introduces a super brain numbing storyline to waste hours of our lives. I can't begin to explain how much of a parody this story is. Not in an intelligent way. But in a painfully lazy way. It is like they had to make a lockdown film and just couldn't care less if it made sense or not.

I want to write a more in depth review but this film is bad. That's all you need to know.
