Near Dark 2

Warning: Spoilers
Wow look at the Betamax quality of this DVD.

This is amazing, I'm sitting here watching this giggling out loud - all these pupils at this unknown high school are middle aged adults. I think most of them went on to become Low Pan's henchmen in "Big Trouble in little China." The new kid in school, who looks about 38 years old, has already bumped into the Cobra Kai and they're extorting protection money out of him, or else. (Five bucks.)

Can we get some lightning on set, please? For no reason 'Loo Can' and 'Shang Soong' duel after dark and bash each other senseless, while elsewhere a bunch of mental patients in an asylum throw a shindig and dance around like lunatics?

The sound on this is awesome and the score is award-winning.

Um, what looks like the Village People just got bashed up. By whom? I'm not sure as it's so dark. Why were they bashed up? Again, I am not sure as the movie has no direction.

Even the actors are telegraphing their lines - they sound like robots.

Whoops, the Village People are back and this time they're swinging Louisville Sluggers. "The Spikes?" Man, "The Warriors" ain't got nothing on this lot.

The filmmakers of this masterpiece must have been so broke they were praying that the street lights in the background would illuminate the movie. Even of a day time you can hardly make out their faces. And this movie's so dark I can't even hear what they're saying.

Some random thug is presented a birthday cake and he gets all emotional and makes a history lesson about taking candy from strangers. Movie turns into "Beat Street" but that doesn't suit the direction, so we then go shopping for lot lizards and that too is a bust, so Turbo from "Breakin'" plays an oversized bamboo flute then gets smoked while trying to rob Shang Soong. Cypress Hill then show up, being rock stars, and put a hit out on someone? But because the movie's so dark I don't know who?

Wasn't this guy in "Best of the Best?" I'm still deciding if I'll give this 1/10 or 10/10.

Because the movie's so dark I can't make out one distinguishing feature that this was filmed in LA. It could be Taiwan for all I know?

Is that Brink Stevens? She lowered herself to be in this?

Stealing a briefcase full of money, Shang Soong paints a target on his back, and has hit men come from far and wide for his head. He then arms himself with a ninja turtle weapon and mows down henchmen like in a video game. One even looks like The Duck from "Convoy." He defeats all the big bosses and wins the girl in the end - his mother.

"Best of the Best" comes along and swears like a drunken sailor then proceeds to slaughter all the Cobra Kai.

The end.
